TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shri Shukdevji said the above words to King Shri Parikshitji.
When Pandavas escaped from the fire of wax building by the grace of GOD, GOD came to meet them in Indraprastha. When Pandavas saw that their loving GOD had come to meet them then Pandavas became very joyous just as the senses become alive because of the flow of life. They embraced their dear GOD and hugged Him. As soon as GOD’s divine body was touched, all the sins and distress of the Pandavas were destroyed. It is a principle that whoever embraces GOD, GOD takes away all his sins and distress.
Therefore, a creature must undertake devotion and love GOD so much that he can get a place in the heart of GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must love GOD to the greatest possible extent.

When GOD met Bhagwati Kuntiji then she said it was GOD who made the orphaned Pandavas strong. She said that Pandavas are blessed only because of GOD’s grace. Bhagwati Kuntiji said that those who always remember GOD, GOD come and sit in their heart and removes all their sorrows and miseries forever. It is very important that the remembrance of GOD is sustained throughout life. One who is able to do this will be saved from sorrow and suffering forever. Because of remembrance of GOD, when GOD comes and resides in the heart of any creature, that creature becomes completely free from all sorrows and miseries forever.
Therefore, a creature should make such arrangements that he can continuously remember GOD in life.

When GOD came to Indraprastha to meet the Pandavas, then the Pandavas greatly felicitated GOD.

GOD’s view is even very rare for big sages and such GOD has Himself come to the home of Pandavas to grace them. Pandavas felicitated GOD greatly and requested Him to stay there for a few days. As per the wish of Pandavas and to grace the residents of Indraprastha GOD stayed there with Pandavas for the four rainy months.
GOD gladly accepts the feelings of His true devotees.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Bhagwati Kalindi Mata said the above words to Shri Arjunji.
During the stay in Indraprastha once GOD and Shri Arjunji went to the forest. There they saw Bhagwati Kalindi Mata doing penance. On being asked by Shri Arjunji, Bhagwati Kalindi Mata told that She is doing penance to attain GOD in the form of Her husband. She said that GOD is the only support for the orphans. It is a principle that GOD is the only one who gives the support to the orphans. The second thing that Bhagwati Kalindi Mata told is that GOD is the distributor of love. GOD expects love from the devotees and distributes love in return to the devotees.
A creature should also consider GOD as his only support and should love GOD unconditionally.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- GOD expects love from devotees so we must selflessly love GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Bhagwati Satya Mata expressed the above feelings.
No creature has the ability to please GOD by following Dharma, vow and rules. GOD gets pleased on any creature only because of His grace. GOD graces the creature and then only He is pleased with that creature. The creature does not have such ability that he can please GOD by fulfilling any of his Dharma or any of his vow or following any of his rules. Therefore, when GOD is pleased with any creature then he should consider it as GOD's extraordinary grace. We should consider that if GOD is pleased it means it is the biggest reward of grace by Him.
Therefore, a creature must try to achieve GOD’s grace in his life.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Achieving the grace of GOD should be the ultimate aim of life.

There is no limit to GOD’s power. GOD’s power is so infinite that we cannot even imagine it.

Therefore, we must try to attain Almighty GOD in life.

Bhagwati Mother Earth repeatedly bowed to GOD and the words spoken by Her are worthy of attention. She said to GOD that GOD is the only shelter of grandeur, religion, fame, wealth, knowledge and reclusion.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - The above address was made by Bhagwati Mother Earth in Her praise to GOD.
This address made to GOD is very dear to me. In the address, it is stated that GOD is the one who destroys the fear of His refugees. Whoever comes in the shelter of GOD, GOD makes him fearless. The act of surrendering to GOD has such capability that GOD protects the creatures even if they are trapped in any great disaster. After surrendering to GOD even if the creature is having too much fear GOD immediately gives them dauntlessness. It is the eternal vow of GOD to protect the refugees and provide them dauntlessness.
Therefore, the creature should always take complete shelter of GOD in life.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must always surrender to GOD and remain in His shelter and protection.

When GOD killed Bhaumasur in the battle, Bhagwati Mother Earth took Bhagadatta, the son of Bhaumasur and went before GOD. The son of Bhaumasur was very scared. Bhagwati Mother Earth, therefore, brought him into the shelter of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD and requested GOD to protect him. Bhagwati Mother Earth told GOD to keep His Divine Lotus Hands on the head of Bhagadatta. Bhagwati Mother Earth told GOD that only the Divine Lotus Hands of GOD are capable of destroying all the sins of the world.
It is a clear principle that after coming into the shadow of the Divine Lotus Hands of GOD, no sins of the creature remain.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD freed sixteen thousand princesses from the jail of Bhaumasur. All those princesses had accepted GOD as their husband, in their mind. Therefore, in order to save them from the world's taint, GOD mercifully married all the princesses in the traditional way.
All the sixteen thousand Mothers had different palaces in Shri Dwarkaji and there were hundreds of servants to serve them. But when GOD used to come to their palace, they themselves would come forward to welcome GOD. They offered GOD a superior seat and worshipped GOD with the best materials. They washed the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD and used to press them for removing the exhaustion of GOD. They fanned GOD and adorned GOD by offering perfume, flowers and sandalwood. They offered a garland of flowers and combed the hair of GOD. They used to offer many types of food to GOD. The principle is that the hole service of GOD was done by their hands.
The creature should also dedicate his life in the service of GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- The best use of our life is to serve GOD and remain in His service.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Bhagwati Rukmini Mata said the above words to GOD.
Bhagwati Rukmani Mata says that because there is nothing else except GOD, therefore, GOD is everything to Her. This is the principle of devotion. A devotee sees nothing else in the world except GOD. Wherever the devotee sees, everything seems to be GOD. In fact, the Scriptures also say that in each particle there is GOD and there is nothing other than GOD in the universe. When the devotee sees GOD everywhere, then his everything becomes GOD. He does all his work only to please GOD. Apart from serving GOD, there is no other purpose for him.
In the world, we must only consider GOD as our everything.

It is GOD who manifests all the things that are available to the creature in the world. On coming into the world, efforts are being made by creatures for achieving four manhoods namely Dharma (religion), Arth (wealth), Kaam (desire) and Moksha (salvation). It is GOD who reveals and provides them. Without the will of GOD, no creature can get religion, wealth, desires and salvation. Only by the grace of GOD the creature can walk on the path of religion, only by the grace of GOD the creature can earn wealth, only by the grace of GOD the creature can fulfill his desires and only by the grace of GOD the creature can attain salvation.
Therefore, the creature should remain in the shelter of GOD who provides all the four manhoods.

Bhagwati Rukmani Mata says that the thoughtful men give up everything to attain GOD.

The great sages, saints and devotees have put their lives at stake and tried to attain the realization of GOD and succeeded in it. There is nothing in the world worth attaining except GOD. The biggest achievement of human life is to attain GOD.
Therefore, the creatures should make efforts in human life to attain GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Bhagwati Rukmini Mata said the above words to GOD.
GOD is the sole master of the entire universe. The origin, operation and dissolution of the universe is done by GOD. Therefore, the one who creates, operates and merges the universe is the only master of the entire universe. GOD is the fulfiller of desires of this world and afterworld. No desire of a creature can be fulfilled without the grace of GOD. A creature keeps many desires for this world and afterworld. A creature does not have the capability to fulfill them by his own power. The desires of the entire earthly life and the afterworld are fulfilled only by the grace of GOD.
Therefore, the creature should undertake the devotion of GOD who is the only LORD of the world, so that all his desires are fulfilled by the grace of GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Only GOD can fulfill all our hopes and desires.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Bhagwati Rukmini Mata said the above words to GOD.
Bhagwati Rukmini Mata says that Her desire is to have strong love in the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD. A devotee always seeks the affection in the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD. When the fortune of several births awakens then a creature wants that he should have affection in the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD else he only loves this world. There is no greater achievement than this if there is love for Divine Lotus Feet of GOD. The significance of human life lies in the fact that there should be absolute love in the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD. The human life of that creature is blessed whose love awakens in the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD.
Therefore, a creature should reserve his place in the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD by undertaking devotion.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We should love and be devoted to the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD said the above words to Bhagwati Rukmini Mata.
Whatever a devotee desires from GOD, it does not bind him in any worldly bondages but it let the devotee free from everything. Worldly desires bind us in bondage, therefore, a devotee never demands worldly desires from GOD. GOD’s contiguity frees a devotee from all worldly desires. Therefore, we should take special care in whatever expectation we keep from GOD it should not be related to worldly desires. If we do not take proper care then these expectations become desires which lead us towards worldly bondages.
Therefore, we should never undertake the devotion of GOD for the fulfillment of worldly desires.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- The contiguity of GOD frees us from worldly desires.

These are the words of GOD, therefore, they are very important. GOD, Himself says that He is the owner of salvation. Scriptures, sages and saints have always said that GOD is the provider of salvation but here GOD Himself has said to Bhagwati Rukmini Mata that only He is the provider of salvation.

Therefore, the creature should try to earn the grace of GOD in his life.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD said the above words to Bhagwati Rukmini Mata.
GOD says that those creatures who only desire the means of material pleasure and wealth from GOD and do not want devotion of GOD are extremely unfortunate. GOD has similized the sensual pleasures to hell and has said that sensual pleasures are available even in the species of pig and dog therefore after taking birth in the human species if anyone desires the sensual pleasures then he is certainly going to fall. We have received this human life to attain GOD by undertaking devotion. We cannot attain GOD in any species other than the human species. Therefore, we should never waste our human life in pursuit of the sensual pleasures.
Therefore, the creature should use the human life to attain GOD by undertaking devotion.

The embodied creatures suffer until they are trapped in the hopes of the world and do not take the shelter of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD. After taking the shelter of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD, all the pains of a creature are destroyed. Therefore, a creature should always remain in the shelter of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD. This is the only way to get rid of all the grieves and pains of this world. One cannot be freed from all the grieves and pains of this world, without taking the shelter of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Mahadevji said the above words to GOD Shree Krishnaji.
This is a very favorite verse of mine because it it is said by GOD and the description of human life is found here. GOD has given the human body to human beings of this world with great grace. The one who does not control his senses after finding this human body, he wastes his life. After getting a human body, who does not take shelter of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD and does not serve them, makes his life very miserable and deceives himself. The right use of human life is not serving the senses but it is serving the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD.
Therefore, a creature should take the complete shelter of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD, then only his birth as a human will become successful.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- In our human life, we must serve the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - King Shri Nrigji said the above words to GOD.
The darshan of GOD happens when the time comes to get rid of the worldly affairs. Seeing GOD means that the creatures become free from their entire worldly affairs. When our virtue arises then we get a vision of GOD. With the vision of GOD, all our sins are destroyed. When sins are destroyed due to the vision of GOD and we get the fruit of virtues by the vision of GOD then the creature is relieved from both virtues and sin. Salvation is not possible unless the creatures are free from both sin and virtue.
Therefore, whenever the creature gets a vision of GOD, he should accept that the time has come for him to attain salvation.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- When the time comes for us to be free from the worldly cycle we get a vision of GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - King Shri Nrigji said the above words to GOD.
King Shri Nrigji was a very charitable king and used to donate many Cows to Brahmins. Once, by mistake, he donated to a Cow which was already donated to a Brahmin. After his death, Shri Yamrajji asked him if he would like to first undergo the fruit of sin or virtue. He became a chameleon to bear the sin caused by donating a wrong cow. By the grace of GOD, he received forgiveness from GOD and now he had to go to Uttam Lok (noble place) to undergo his act of charity. At that time, he revolved around GOD and bowed his head in the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD in salutation. Then the request he made to GOD is worth noting. He said to GOD that no matter where I live, my mind should always remain devoted to the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD.
The creature should also keep his mind devoted to the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must devote ourselves to the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD.
