TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Krishnaji said the above words to King Shri Yudhisthirji in response to his question.
GOD says that He gradually takes away all the wealth of that creature on whom He showers His true blessings. When that creature becomes poor then all his relatives do not care for him and leave him. Then too if that creature tries to earn wealth GOD makes his attempt unprofitable. In this way when after several tries he fails in earning wealth then his mind gets detached from earning money and he diverts himself towards GOD’s devotion. As soon as he takes the shelter of devotion, GOD showers His causeless mercy on him. By GOD’s grace that creature attains GOD.
Reaching GOD by turning away from illusion is the best recourse.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must turn away from illusion and undertake devotion of GOD.

It is said in the verse that GOD is the sea of infinite powers. Just as there is immeasurable water in the ocean, the powers of GOD are also immeasurable. Even Scriptures, sages, saints and devotees cannot describe the infinite powers of GOD. The whole universe is governed by the power of GOD. Even a leaf of a tree moves, then that power also belongs to GOD. Each power of GOD is beyond the limits of our mind and speech. We cannot even imagine the power of GOD with our mind and cannot even describe the power of GOD with our words.
Therefore, the creature should spend his life in the shelter of Almighty GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- The powers of GOD are infinite and cannot be described by anybody.

When we follow the Bhagwat Dharma and undertake devotion by surrendering to GOD then GOD even donates Himself to such devotees. The follower of Bhagwat Dharma is very dear to GOD. GOD donates Himself to the devotee who takes the refuge of GOD by devotion. When we see the character of the surrendered devotees, then we come to know that as soon as the devotee dedicates himself to GOD, GOD also dedicates Himself to him. As soon as the devotee surrenders himself to GOD, GOD also surrenders Himself to devotee. GOD donates Himself to such devotees by forgetting His Godliness.
Therefore, a creature must follow the Bhagwat Dharma and seek the shelter of GOD.

Shri Kaviji says that there is no rule for those who follow Bhagwat Dharma to do any specific type of work.

Every action we perform with our body, speech, mind, senses and intellect, we should dedicate it to GOD. This is the most easiest and simple Bhagwat Dharma. To please GOD, the creature has to do only two very simple things. Firstly, whatever he did, he has done it for GOD and secondly, whatever he did, he dedicated it to GOD.
While following the Bhagwat Dharma, creatures should do their every deed for GOD and by dedicating it to GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Kaviji out of nine Yogeshwarji said the above words to King Shri Nimiji.
The creature who undertakes devotion of GOD after taking GOD’s shelter achieves three things at the same time. The creature who undertakes devotion after taking GOD’s shelter first of all achieves GOD’s love at every moment. That creature begins to be immersed in the love of GOD for every moment. The second thing that happens with the worshiper of GOD is that every moment he starts experiencing the form of his beloved GOD. Only devotion has the power to make the creature experience GOD. The third thing which happens with the creature who undertakes devotion after taking GOD’s shelter is that the creature becomes disinterested in everything other than GOD.
Therefore, the creature should take the shelter of GOD and spend his life in the devotion of GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must devote our lives for undertaking the devotion of GOD.
