TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Akrurji said the above words to GOD.
Listening and chanting the divine qualities and pastimes of GOD is very blissful. Great seekers of GOD daily listen to the divine qualities of GOD and chant the Holy pastimes of GOD. When GOD takes incarnation then He performs divine pastimes. His first aim is to provide ecstasy to devotees of that time. His second aim is to provide liberation to the devotees who come. Those devotees get liberation by listening and chanting the Holy pastimes of GOD. Listening and chanting the Holy pastimes of GOD is very blissful. They immediately destroy all our sins and provide us liberation.
Therefore, a creature must daily listen and chant the divine qualities and Holy pastimes of GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must daily listen to the divine pastimes of GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - When GOD went on a city tour of Shri Mathura, the women of Shri Mathura became desperate to see GOD.
Women of Shri Mathura have already heard about GOD. They had great reverence for GOD. For a long time, they were waiting for this moment that GOD would arrive in Shri Mathura and they could see GOD with their eyes. They were very anxious to visualize GOD. They felt that their destiny had come alive today, as GOD had come to Shri Mathura to give them visualization. Therefore, when they heard that GOD has left for Shri Mathura's tour, they ran in the same condition as they were. Whatever work they were doing, they abandoned it immediately and ran to visualize GOD.
Devotees always yearn to attain the contiguity of GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Devotees look forward to the opportunity to attain the contiguity of GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Residents of Shri Mathura said the above words while discussing with each other.
When the residents of Mathura saw the divine vision and divine beauty of GOD, they were mesmerized. They fixed the tableau of GOD in their hearts by the means of their eyes. Their anxiety of many days has calmed down. They began to shower flowers on GOD. After watching GOD, residents of Mathura considered themselves as blessed but they considered Gopis as the most blessed who had the fortune to regularly visualize GOD. They say that what kind of austerity is done by the Gopis so that they daily visualize the loving tableau of GOD, who provides ecstasy to the creatures.
When the holy deeds of several lives of a creature emerge then only he is attached to GOD and visualizes the divine tableau of GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must be attached to GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - When GOD came out on the tour of Shri Mathura then He first met the washerman of Kans. GOD demanded clothes from him but he refused. GOD gave him a slap and his head was separated from the body.
GOD and Shri Balramji took the clothes and also gave them to herdsman children. Clothes were very big in measurement, so next GOD met a tailor. The tailor very pleasingly made those clothes of GOD’s measurement and decorated Him. GOD was looking more glorious by being dressed in those clothes. In return, GOD pleasingly gave the wealth, strength, grandeur and His memory to the tailor and also gave salvation after his death.
On one hand, the tailor got everything on the favorable behavior towards GOD, whereas the washerman did lose his own life on the adverse behavior. Favorable behavior towards GOD does the welfare of the creature.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Our behavior must be favorable towards GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Sudama gardener said the above words to GOD.
GOD went to the house of a gardener named Shri Sudama while visiting Shri Mathura. He stood up and greeted GOD by bowing his head on the floor. He offered GOD to sit, washed His Divine Lotus Feet by water and worshipped GOD with the help of flowers, garland and sandalwood. He said to GOD that after the arrival of GOD his family had become pure and his life had become successful. Then what he said is worth noting. He said that today because of GOD’s service he had become free from the debt of ancestors, sages and Deities. Every creature has a debt of his ancestors, sages and Deities. Without paying these debts, a creature can never get salvation.
The principle is that when we satisfy and satiate GOD, all debts are automatically repaid. Therefore, the creature should try to satisfy and satiate GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must satisfy GOD with our devotion and love.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Sudama gardener said the above words to GOD.
When GOD blesses the creatures, He appoints them for His work. It is a great grace of GOD that GOD employs him for His work. It is the grace of GOD on sages, saints and devotees that GOD employs them for His work. Those who are the preachers of devotion and love for GOD, this appointment is given by the grace of the GOD. Without GOD's command, no one can do GOD’s work. Until GOD will grace the creature, his mind will not be engaged in GOD’s work. Therefore, for those who are performing GOD’s work, we should consider them as creatures showered with GOD’s grace.
It is truly a great grace of GOD when GOD employs a creature to do His work.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Due to the grace of GOD, we are able to do GOD’s work.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - When GOD entered the arena on the invitation of Kans, GOD was looking very graceful.
When GOD entered the stage, all the people present there visualized GOD as per their feelings and eligibility. GOD appeared to everyone in the same form as per their feelings. But one thing was common to all. Whose eyes visualized GOD for once, their eyes did not move from there again. The eyes of all present persons were engaged in visualizing GOD. GOD stole their mind by His radiance. GOD has always remained first in stealing the heart and whoever comes in contact with GOD by whatever feeling, devotion or love, GOD steals his mind.
Therefore, the creatures should try to obtain the grace of GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- GOD steals the heart and mind of a devotee.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - When GOD came on the stage of the arena then everyone sitting there visualized GOD.
Whoever was sitting there was so happy by the visualization of GOD. The eyes and faces of all the viewers blossomed by the view of GOD. Their eyes were not satisfied by the view of GOD. GOD Shri Shukdevji says that it was looking as if residents of Mathura were drinking the nectar of GOD by their eyes, as if they were tasting GOD by their tongue, as if they were smelling GOD by their nose and as if they were holding GOD in their arms and were hugging Him with their heart.
Residents of Mathura considered themselves blessed and viewed GOD. A creature should also view GOD and make his life blessed.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - The women of Shri Mathura said the above words among themselves.
The women of Shri Mathura praise the fortune of Gopis and say that what virtue Gopis have performed that their eyes are continuously drinking the nectar of sweetness of GOD. They are never satisfied by viewing GOD because GOD’s form is new every time. Infinite beauty is contained in the form of GOD. The women of Shri Mathura say that the Gopis are blessed who keep on singing the Holy pastimes of GOD with their heart full of love and with tears in their voices. While doing all the work of the world, they keep their mind focused on GOD and always keep praising the virtues of GOD.
A creature should also remember GOD while doing his daily work.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must remember GOD at all times.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - When GOD climbed on the stage of the arena and threw Kans down and killed him, then Kans got salvation.
Saints say that Kans continued to constantly contemplate about GOD with panic and fear. He visualized GOD while eating, drinking, sleeping, walking, speaking and breathing in the form of death and kept remembering GOD in fear. By whatever aim we remember GOD, it only does our welfare. Because of this remembrance, GOD gave salvation to Kans which is even hard to get for great Yogis. GOD is so kind and merciful that He even gives salvation to the one who hates Him. There is no one else in the world, so merciful and kind.
Therefore, a creature must contemplate about GOD in life so that he can achieve GOD’s grace in life.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- No one in the world is as kind and as merciful other than GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD went to Shri Sandipaniji saint's place and acquired the knowledge of sixty-four arts in sixty-four days while performing human pastime.
When GOD wanted to give gurudakshina (donation to master) to guru Shri Sandipaniji saint, then the saint asked for his deceased son who had died by drowning. GOD reached the dwelling of Shri Yamarajji (the Deity of death) where Shri Yamarajji gave a grand welcome and honored GOD. GOD said to Shri Yamarajji that you have brought my guru’s son as per his deed bondage. GOD said that I order you not to pay attention to his deeds and release him. Shri Yamarajji obeyed the order of GOD and gave the guru’s son to GOD. The thing to note here is that when GOD graces, then the creature is immediately freed from all his bondage of deeds. Shri Yamarajji also respects that creature who receives the grace of GOD.
Therefore, a creature must try to achieve the grace of GOD in life by undertaking devotion.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- The grace of GOD frees us from the bondage of deeds.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Once who coincides with GOD, is not able to bear the separation of GOD.
When GOD went to Ujjain for studies at the ashram (hermitage) of Shri Sandipanji saint, it became extremely difficult for residents of Mathura to spend sixty-four days because they had to endure the separation of GOD. The people of Shri Mathura were saddened without seeing GOD and Shri Balramji for a long time. But when GOD returned to Shri Mathura after completing the studies, all the people of Mathura got immersed in ecstasy. It seemed to them as if they had regained their lost wealth. Like the residents of Braj, residents of Mathura also started loving GOD immensely.
A creature must also deeply love GOD. We have got this human life to love and to undertake devotion of GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must immensely love GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - The above verse is one of my favorite verses because it contains a pledge of GOD for the devotees.
When GOD was in Shri Mathura, He sent His beloved friend Shri Uddhavji to Shri Braj. GOD told him to go to Shri Braj and meet the Gopis and give them the message of GOD and release them from their anguish. GOD said that the Gopis constantly keep their mind engaged in GOD. GOD said that the life and whole soul of the Gopis is only GOD. GOD said that the Gopis have considered GOD as their beloved and their soul. Then what GOD said is His pledge for the devotees. GOD says that those who give up worldly and otherworldly religion and pleasures for GOD, GOD Himself bears their full responsibility.
GOD always takes full responsibility for His dear devotees.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - The most beloved of the Gopis was GOD. They were fascinated by the constant remembrance of GOD.
Gopis were living their life in the separation of GOD because GOD had given them the assurance that He would come. This assurance of GOD was the basis of their life. Gops and Gopis dressed in beautiful clothes and ornaments and waited for GOD and used to sing auspicious characters of GOD. When Shri Uddhavji reached Shri Braj, then he saw that Gopis were very distraught for GOD and were constantly waiting for the arrival of GOD. They have decorated their homes and Shri Braj for the arrival of GOD.
A creature must also have such distraughtness for attaining GOD in life then only it is possible to have a union with GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- A creature must attain GOD in life and seek a union with GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Uddhavji said the above words to Shri Nandji and Bhagwati Yashoda Mata in Shri Braj.
The creature who purifies his mind at the time of death and engages it in GOD even for a moment attains the supreme position. Such a creature washes away all his desires which are the reason for the bondage. If a creature remembers GOD at the time of his death and concentrates his mind in GOD then his salvation is certain. Such a creature attains GOD and becomes free from the worldly cycle forever. But this is only possible when we regularly practice engaging our mind in GOD throughout our life. In the life span, if our mind gets engaged in GOD then only it will be possible to engage our mind in GOD in the end.
Therefore, the creature should try to engage his mind in GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must remember GOD and engage our mind in GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - The above verse is from the Bhramar geet (beetle song) where Gopis gives their message for GOD to Shri Uddhavji, targeting the beetle as sake.
Gopis says that the one who receives the contiguity of GOD, he can never forget GOD. The association of one time of GOD makes him of GOD forever. Then the lifestyle of that person becomes Godly. When he thinks he thinks about GOD, when he weeps he weeps for GOD, when he remembers he remembers only GOD, when he discusses he discusses only about GOD. Without GOD, he cannot even imagine his life. GOD becomes supreme for him. Gopis are in such condition that even if they want to, they cannot forget GOD.
The creature should also love GOD so much that he cannot live without GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Our love for GOD must be such that we undertake every activity for GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Uddhavji said the above words while consoling to Gopis.
When Shri Uddhavji saw the anxiety of Gopis for union with GOD, then he greatly respected the love of Gopis for GOD. He said that the Gopis were gratefully committed to such a selfless love for GOD. The life of Gopis is blessed and successful. Gopis are adorable all over the world because they have dedicated their heart and their everything to GOD. GOD’s loving devotion which is achieved by various means is being achieved by Gopis and they have established an ideal for this in the world. Shri Uddhavji said that it is a matter of great fortune that the Gopis have attained the same kind of loving devotion which is very rare even for saint and sages.
Gopis loving devotion is an ideal for seekers and we should take motivation from it.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD communicated the
above-mentioned words through Shri Uddhavji in a message to the Gopis.
GOD says that just as the thing visible in the dream is false, similarly, desires of the senses are also false. Therefore, the mind which thinks about desires should be stopped and must be engaged in GOD. GOD says that just as all the rivers finally meet the ocean, similarly, all the religions and religious means are finally merged with GOD. The true result of all is an audience with GOD. Therefore, the creature should make an aim of life to finally reach GOD in the end. By whichever path he walks it is meaningful only when it takes the seeker finally to GOD and enables him to have an audience with GOD.
Union with GOD should be the ultimate objective of the creature and the only purpose of life.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Union with GOD should be the only purpose of human life.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Gopis said the above words to Shri Uddhavji.
Gopis says that when GOD was with them in Shri Braj, the places where GOD performed pastimes with them still remind them of GOD. Those rivers, those mountains, those forests where GOD has accompanied them, by seeing them, they remember the Holy pastimes of GOD. In the dust of Shri Braj, the marks of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD are still imprinted. Gopis say that even after trying hard to forget GOD, they are not able to forget GOD. GOD's beauty, GOD's humour and GOD's sweet voice have stolen the heart of the Gopis. Gopis say that their mind is not in their control, it is devoted to GOD. Therefore, though they try to forget GOD, even then they are not able to forget GOD.
Saints and sages try to meditate upon GOD and the Gopis try to forget GOD. This is the symbol of greatness and superiority of the Gopis.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must always remember GOD and never forget GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Gopis said the above words to Shri Uddhavji.
Gopis say that the master of their life is only GOD. Only GOD is everything for them. Gopis say that GOD has repeatedly protected them in their distress. GOD is the LORD of Shri Braj. Gopis have exclusively accepted GOD as their master. Accepting GOD as your true master is the pinnacle of loving devotion. Therefore, Gopis are at the height of loving devotion because they have exclusively accepted only GOD as their master.
The human life of a creature is only successful when he accepts GOD as his everything and accepts GOD as his only master. This is only possible if we have loving devotion for GOD in our life.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must accept GOD as our absolute master.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Uddhavji expressed the above sentiment in Shri Braj.
Shri Uddhavji stayed in Shri Braj for many months and saw the unconditional love and devotion of the Gopis towards GOD. Shri Uddhavji was filled with ecstasy by seeing the love of Gopis for GOD and he said that on this earth birth only as Gopis is successful and best. GOD is the soul of Gopis and the Gopis have touched the heights of the love of GOD which even great sages and saints cannot touch. Shri Uddhavji said that the one who has found joy in listening to the Holy pastimes of GOD, does not need to do anything else. But if anyone does not find joy in listening to the narration of GOD or does not develop interest in listening to the narrations of GOD, then even getting the status of a Deity for such a person is of no use to him.
Listening to the narrations of GOD with full attention and joy is only possible with great fortune.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Listening to GOD's Holy pastimes awakens devotion in us.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Uddhavji expressed the above sentiment in Shri Braj.
Shri Uddhavji says that Gopis were milkwomen who resided in the village and were not acquainted with ethics and knowledge whereas GOD is Sachidanand and the master of the universe. But the intense love of the Gopis fascinated GOD. This proves that if someone loves and worships GOD even without knowing the secrets and mysteries of GOD, then GOD automatically renders his supreme welfare with His grace and compassion. To reach GOD we only require exclusive love and selfless devotion of GOD.
Therefore, the creatures should try to undertake loving devotion to attain GOD in human life.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- The supreme love of a devotee fascinates GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Uddhavji expressed the above sentiment in Shri Braj.
It is depicted in this verse that how great achievement is the loving devotion of GOD. Shri Uddhavji was very knowledgeable and a dear friend of GOD. GOD had sent him with His message from Shri Mathura to Shri Braj to console the Gopis. Shri Uddhav had come for some days thinking that he would give his knowledge and resolve the pain of separation of the Gopis. But seeing the unwavering love of the Gopis for GOD, he stayed in Shri Braj for several months. He was so overjoyed seeing Gopis's love and devotion towards GOD that he started considering the Gopis as his ideal. He prayed to GOD to make him a bush, a creeper or a tree of Shri Vrindavan, so that he can become pure and blessed from getting the touch of the dust from the footsteps of Gopis.
Therefore, the creature should give the highest place in his life to love and devotion for GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Love and devotion for GOD must be our highest priority in life.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Uddhavji expressed the above sentiment in Shri Braj.
Shri Uddhavji says that Gopis are blessed because they have established the ideal of loving devotion for GOD by abandoning their own people and relatives and public decorum for the sake of GOD. Because of this tenderness and ultimate love, they became united with GOD and had become one with GOD. Shrutis and Upanishads who praise GOD and are dear to GOD also try to attain GOD with love but are unable to do so. But the Gopis have attained GOD with their blatant love.
Gopis have attained that place on the basis of their intense love for GOD, which other people cannot even imagine.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must attain GOD with supreme love for GOD.
