TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Deities said the above words while praying to GOD.

Deities say to GOD that GOD has flown two pure rivers to wash off the sins of His devotees. One is the river of narration of nectar-full Holy pastime which destroys the sins of creatures. Another is Bhagwati Ganga Mata which has emerged from the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD, which also destroys all the sins of creatures. Therefore, those who are wise men, enjoy both the pilgrimages by diving through the body in Bhagwati Shree Gangaji and by listening to the narration of GOD from ears. By doing so they become free from all their sins and heat.

Sins of a creature can be destroyed only by being in the contiguity of GOD.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. The contiguity of GOD destroys all the sins of a creature.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Brahmaji said the above words to GOD.

GOD Shree Brahmaji says that GOD took incarnation on request of Deities to unload the weight of Mother Earth. According to the request of Deities, GOD completed all work of His incarnation perfectly. For the welfare of sages, GOD reinstalled the religion and while doing so whatever sweet Holy pastimes GOD performed, their glory got spread everywhere. By singing the glory of GOD people can wash away the dirt of their mind. GOD performed several Holy pastimes full of generosity and bravery in His incarnations. In Kaliyug (modern era), those who will listen and chant these Holy pastimes of GOD will very easily cross this darkness of ignorance and cross the worldly ocean.

Therefore, the creature must listen and chant the Holy pastime narration of GOD daily.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. By listening to the Holy pastime narration of GOD, a creature can easily cross the worldly ocean.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Uddhavji said the above words to GOD.

When Shri Uddhavji heard that Yaduvansh has been cursed by Brahmins that they will be destroyed and if GOD wanted He could have removed that curse but GOD did not do so, then Shri Uddhavji understood that after demolishing Yaduvansh GOD wanted to wind up His Holy pastime and wanted to go back to His dwelling. Then Shri Uddhavji said to GOD that he cannot even think of abandoning the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD for a split second. GOD is his everything and his master. Therefore, he requested GOD that GOD should shower such grace on him that he should not encounter separation from GOD and GOD should also take him to His dwelling.

True devotion is that the devotee always wants to remain in contiguity of GOD and cannot even imagine the separation from GOD.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. A devotee cannot even imagine the separation from GOD for a split second.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Uddhavji said the above words to GOD.

Shri Uddhavji says to GOD that every Holy pastime of GOD is very auspicious and is nectar for the ears of the creature. Anyone who has once embraced the juice of narration of GOD then no other desire remains in his mind. Shri Uddhavji says that when this is the situation of those who listen to the narration of GOD then he has directly experienced the association of GOD and has performed every deed with GOD. Then he cannot even imagine the separation from GOD. Shri Uddhavji says that the loving devotees of GOD cannot even imagine the separation from GOD under any circumstances then for him it is utterly impossible.

There is such a relationship between the devotee and GOD that they both want a union of each other.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Uddhavji said the above words to GOD.

Upon hearing that GOD will return to His dwelling, Shri Uddhavji was distracted by the imagination of the separation from GOD. How much Shri Uddhavji loved GOD, we can know this fact from the sentiments he expressed to GOD. Shri Uddhavji says that while residing with GOD he has worn the garland worn by GOD, sandal applied by GOD, clothes used by GOD and the ornaments worn by GOD as a divine offering from GOD. Shri Uddhavji says to GOD that he has always been the servant who ate the leavings of GOD. His pride was in it that he used the things used by GOD and ate the leavings of GOD.

The statement of Shri Uddhavji expresses the feelings of a true devotee towards GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Uddhavji said the above words to GOD.

Shri Uddhavji says to GOD that he will discuss the virtues and the Holy pastimes of GOD with the devotees of GOD. Whatever GOD has said and done in His incarnation period, he will remember and chant it. There is no bigger advantage and joy than discussing about GOD and by remembering and recollecting the Holy pastimes of GOD. Shri Uddhavji says that he is convinced that by doing this he will cross the illusion of GOD. It is very difficult to get rid of Maya but the one who constantly meditates on GOD and remembers the Holy pastimes of GOD and chants them crosses the Maya of GOD.

Therefore, the creatures should discuss about GOD and should remember and chant GOD’s Holy pastime.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. GOD is the only subject of discussion for a devotee.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD said the above words to Shri Uddhavji.

GOD said to Shri Uddhavji that He incarnated on request of Deities to relieve the burden of Earth. He has completed all the work of incarnation. Now the moment GOD will return to His dwelling from Earth, at that very moment all the auspiciousness of the Earth will be destroyed. One fact is rendered from the above statement of GOD that where GOD is there, auspiciousness is also there. When GOD goes, auspiciousness also goes with GOD. Therefore, it is necessary and compulsory to keep GOD in the center of life. By doing this, auspiciousness will also stay in our life.

Therefore, the creature who wants his welfare should remain in the contiguity of GOD.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. Where GOD is, auspiciousness will stay at that place.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD said the above words to Shri Uddhavji.

GOD says that He has created many types of bodies with one leg, two legs, three legs, four legs, more than four legs and without legs. But GOD says that in all of them He loves the human body most. It is so because humans are fully capable of judging their good and bad by their direct experience and estimation. GOD considers the human body to be the best because humans can reach GOD by performing means and can be free from the worldly cycle forever.

Therefore, the creatures should understand the importance of the human body and should utilize it to attain GOD.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. GOD reckons human birth to be the best means to attain Him.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shri Dattatreyji said the above words to King Shri Yaduji.

In this verse, the glory of Bhagwati Ganga Mata is stated. Darshan (vision) of Bhagwati Ganga Mata leads to auspiciousness. The touch of Bhagwati Ganga Mata purifies us. Chanting the name of Bhagwati Ganga Mata increases our virtues. Bhagwati Ganga Mata is a Deity river and the grace of all the three GOD is on Her. She has emerged from the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD Shree Vishnuji and is contained into the ewer of GOD Shree Brahmaji. Coming out of the ewer of GOD Shree Brahmaji, She has flown on the divine head of GOD Shree Mahadevji and from there She comes to Earth and provides salvation to everyone.

We should always keep a motherly feeling in Bhagwati Ganga Mata because She provides us the desired thing like a mother.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. We should worship Bhagwati Ganga Mata as a GODDESS Mother.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shri Dattatreyji said the above words to King Shri Yaduji.

For taking education GOD Shri Dattatreyji made a pigeon a teacher who lived with his family in the forest. Once when the pigeon and his wife went to the forest, a birdcatcher came and threw the net and the pigeon's children got trapped in it. When the pigeon and his wife returned back and saw that their children were being trapped in the net, they also jumped into the net in deep grievance and got trapped themselves. After watching this GOD Shri Dattatreyji said that the human body is the open door for salvation. We have got this human body only for salvation. But after getting this if anyone is trapped like that pigeon in household activities then he misses utilizing his human body.

Therefore, we must do the means of salvation after getting this human body then only our life will be considered successful.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. We have got this human life to enable us to attain salvation.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shri Dattatreyji said the above words to King Shri Yaduji.

GOD Shri Dattatreyji considered Shri Samudradevji (ocean) as his master and learned from him that the seeker who seeks GOD should always remain happy and serious. The feeling of the seeker towards GOD should be infinite, immense and limitless. Just as Shri Samudradevji never increase due to flood in rivers in the rainy season and never decrease in summer because of heat, similarly, a seeker should neither be elated on attaining worldly things and nor should be sad at the loss of worldly things. A seeker must be satisfied according to the things received as per his fortune only then he will be able to move forward on the devotional path.

A seeker must remain happy and serious and become satisfied and should maintain his immense feelings towards GOD.

GOD Shri Dattatreyji says that just as a bumblebee collects the essence from various flowers, whether they are small or big, similarly, an intelligent man must extract the essence of all the Scriptures, small or big. Essence of all the Scriptures is that we have got this human life to attain GOD after 8.4 million births. Therefore, we should utilize this human life to attain GOD by performing various means. The best means to attain GOD is devotion. All the Scriptures and saints are unanimous that to attain GOD and to be free from the worldly cycle we should undertake devotion of GOD.

Therefore, the creature must undertake devotion of GOD and try to attain GOD in life and thus make his human life successful.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS

GOD Shri Dattatreyji says that he made Pingla his master, who became disinterested from this world. As soon as she became disinterested she started having faith in GOD. She said in my heart nearest to me my true owner my GOD is residing. GOD is the only giver of real pleasure, love and charity form of true wealth. The world is not constant, only GOD is eternal. For those who leave GOD and involve themselves in the world, the world does not fulfill any of their desires, it only gives grief, fear, disease and mourning. It is our foolishness that we consume the world and while doing so we forget GOD.

Therefore, the creature must love GOD by forgetting the world.

GOD resides in everyone’s heart. GOD is the true well-wisher of all creatures. GOD is the lover of all creatures because he loves all the creatures. GOD is the soul of all the creatures. GOD is also the owner of all the creatures. By leaving such an ultimate lover GOD we should not get attracted towards the world. Reclusion from the world gives pleasure because when we experience reclusion from the world only then love towards GOD arises in our mind else the creature is engaged only in the world. We must take the shelter of GOD and should accept the favors of GOD by respectfully bowing our heads.

The creature should make his closest relation only with GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shri Dattatreyji said the above words to King Shri Yaduji.

The creature has fallen in the worldly well. The subjects of the world have made him blind. His entire life is being wasted in contemplating and enjoying the subjects. The death form dragon has suppressed him in his mouth and can swallow him anytime. The creature can die at any moment. The creature who is in the gulp of death still remains inattentive. In such a situation only GOD can protect him. Other than GOD no one is capable of protecting the creature. Yet the misfortune of the creature is that he does not turn towards GOD and keep himself engaged in the consumption of worldly things.

It is necessary for the creature to be disinclined from the subjects and turn back to GOD then only his salvation is possible.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. We must turn towards GOD then only our salvation is possible.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shri Dattatreyji said the above words to King Shri Yaduji.

GOD Shree Dattatreyji says that a spider spreads the net from her mouth and then wanders on it and finally swallows it back. Similarly, GOD generates this world from His inside and then indulges in this world in the form of the creature and finally at the time of holocaust everything merges in GOD. Therefore the Scriptures and saints have seen the world full of GOD. Scripture says that there is nothing else in the world except one GOD. No one exists in the world except GOD. Saints also saw the world as full of GOD and therefore, in the world, they visualized GOD everywhere.

Devotees always visualize GOD everywhere because they see the whole universe full of GOD.

GOD Shri Dattatreyji made Bhrungi worm his master and learned how to contemplate from him. Bhrungi worm brings another worm and keeps it at the place where he resides and closes the opening of the place. The worm trapped inside contemplates the Bhrungi worm by fear and receives the form of Bhrungi. GOD Shri Dattatreyji learned by watching this that the creature should only contemplate GOD and must not contemplate the worldly things only then he will be able to unite with GOD. By regularly contemplating GOD we can visualize GOD.

Therefore, the creature must contemplate only GOD in his life.

GOD created trees, crawling creatures, animals, birds, fish and several other types of species. But even after creating so many aquatic, terrestrial, subaerial and flora species, GOD was not satisfied. Then He created the human body. GOD gave such wisdom to the human body that he can get an audience with GOD. After creating humans, GOD was happy and pleased. Therefore, the human species is very rare among all other species. We should utilize it for attaining GOD. Even after getting human birth, if we are not able to attain GOD, then we have wasted our precious human birth.

Therefore, the creatures must try to attain GOD after getting this human birth by undertaking devotion of GOD.

The human body is not eternal because death always stays behind it. But by this human body, we can achieve ultimate manhood which is salvation. Therefore, after achieving the human body after several births, the intellectual creature should try to achieve salvation as soon as possible. Sensual pleasures can be fulfilled in other species also, therefore we should not waste our precious life in pursuing such desires. The main aim of human life should only be salvation.

Therefore, the creature must utilize his human life and should not waste it in pursuit of sensual pleasures.

GOD says that those creatures who are under His shelter and those who have taken His shelter should be introvert and selfless. We can only seek an audience with GOD only if we are introvert. GOD is situated within us, therefore we need to turn inward. GOD has also given a lot of emphasis on being selfless. The creature who selflessly undertakes devotion of GOD, GOD immediately gets pleased with him. GOD donate things to the desirous devotees as per their desires but to the selfless devotees, GOD donates Himself.

Therefore, the creature should not be extroverted and should not be full of desires.

GOD says that those who go to heaven on the strength of their virtues, they get to enjoy divine pleasures similar to the Deities. But the person enjoying the divine pleasures becomes so unconscious that he does not know when his virtue gets exhausted. As his virtues are exhausted he is thrown down from heaven. As long as his virtues were remaining he was in heaven and as his virtues got exhausted he had to fall regardless of his desire. But the one who undertakes devotion of GOD and reaches GOD never has to fall back. He gets freedom from the cycle of birth and death forever.

Therefore, the creature should forget the achievement of heaven and should try to attain GOD by undertaking devotion.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. We must attempt to attain GOD through devotion.

GOD says that whatever deeds we perform with some expectation their result is always sorrow in the end. But those who undertake selfless devotion of GOD receive ecstasy. The devotee undertaking selfless devotion reaches GOD. Selflessness in devotion is the pride of devotion. If we are not selfless in devotion, whatever we seek from GOD we get easily but we do not get GOD. But if we are selfless, GOD automatically fulfills all our needs and He even becomes available for us. All the great devotees have performed selfless devotion of GOD and finally found GOD.

The result of selflessness is much more than selfishness, therefore, the creature must become selfless spiritually.

The voice which does not praise GOD is in vain. We engage our voice in worldly discussions. We talk about the world from our voice throughout the day. But Scriptures say that the voice which talks about the world is a waste. It is the duty of voice that it should sing the glory of GOD. Only that voice is blessed which sings the glory of GOD. The voice of sages, saints and devotees has always sung the glory of GOD. We have been given voice only so that we can use it to praise GOD.

Therefore, the creature must praise GOD daily to bless his voice.

We cannot please GOD with anything else. The one who dedicates his mind to GOD, GOD accepts him by getting pleased with him. All devotees have dedicated their mind to GOD. Devotion teaches us to dedicate our mind to GOD. Apart from the mind, there is no other demand of GOD from the creature. GOD only and only wants our mind.

Therefore, the creature must dedicate his mind to GOD.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
