Introduction: A Question By Maharaj.
In Vachanamrut Gadhada’s First Chapter 67, Maharaj asks if any such true Santos are detached from all worldly pleasures and have desires only for the bliss of Bhagawan’s abode and the joy of His divine form. These Santos engage in practices to attain these two objectives, even after death, and do not strive for bodily comforts. How can a Mumukushu ( Seeker of Liberation) develop the qualities of such a Santos?A
Two Answers.
i) Muktanand Swami responds that if a Mumukushu maintains Divya Budhhi (Divine intellect) and follows the commands of a true Santos, these qualities will manifest.
Maharaj agrees but adds that understanding one’s limitations and regretting them is crucial for these qualities to develop.
ii) Maharaj said a true santos must be regarded as immensely great while considering oneself insignificant. When one deeply understands this, it leads to regret and humility. This process brings about detachment and the qualities beneficial for liberation. Without this, these qualities do not develop in a Mumukshu.
A Question upon Answer.
Well, Muktanand Swami’s and Maharaj’s answers seem to have ups and downs. Muktanand Swami said that if a Mumukushu maintains Divya Buddhi and follows the commands of true Santos, these qualities will manifest. But Maharaj deleted the Divya Buddhi part.
But what is the problem with Divya Buddhi? Why didn’t Maharaj mention it in his answer?
Let me illustrate this:
Will you ever feel jealous of Annant Ambani?
But if your neighbor lives in a better home than yours, will you be jealous?
In the first case, you will not because you know that I cannot compete with Annant Ambani.
This shows that you maintain Divya Buddhi towards Annant Ambani.
A more easy way to understand it
Do you ever feel like Muktanand Swami?
Mostly NO.
Because you know that he is an Akshar Mukt (liberated soul)
Who is a True Guru?
| Aspect | True Guru | Fake Guru |
| Intent | Wants students to surpass him | Wants to remain superior |
| Student Growth | Helps students become independent & successful | Keeps students dependent on him |
| Support | Encourages critical thinking & self-improvement | Discourages questioning & promotes blind faith |
| Platform for Growth | Provides opportunities for students to grow | Keeps students in a loop for profit |
| Impact | Leaves a lasting positive influence | Focuses on short-term gains |
A Question: Do we have to maintain Divya Budhhi in our Guru?
So here a question comes: “Do we have to maintain Divya Budhhi in our Guru?”
Yes or No?”
To be better than our Guru is it a type of Madness? “Hey! What? You are thinking to be better than Guru? Oh my God! What type of era has come?”
Or is it a type of Ambition: “Oh! Are you trying to be better than Guru? Very good!”
The answer is:
No. We have to not maintain Divya Budhhi in Guru because if you maintain it, you will have in your mind that you can never be like your guru. Though the guru is a true guru, you won’t be better than the guru. In the same way, we also have to not maintain Divya Budhhi in Santos like Muktanand Swami.
We have to be like them, even better than them. There is nothing wrong with that. In the current era, we need to be better than those Nanand Santos; only then will it be easy for us to reach Akshardham.
Similarly, if a Mumukushu wants to be a Satpurush, then he should never maintain Divya Budhhi towards him. Because if we maintain it, then a Mumukushu will never be able to become a Satpurush.
Should Santos have Ambition?
There was one devotee he used to donate to temples in a high amount. But he had one condition: That when you introduce me, you have to give me the title of Dada Kachar. “ XYZ Devotee is the 21st century’s Dada Kachar.”
He has a desire from inside to be like Dada Khachar.
Even our Santos will have the desire to be like Muktanand Swami, Gopalanand Swami, Gunatianand Swami, etc. But is there any ambition to be like them? Santos should have the ambition to be like Muktanand Swami, Gopalanand Swami, Gunatianand Swami, etc.
To have ambition for Bhagawan’s mission is the Dharma (duty) of Santos. The Credit that Muktanand Swami got in is Sant’s life. Should we get the same credit? How did Muktanand Swami get that credit? What is the process behind it? Santos should have more ambition in the process rather than the credit.
Maharaja did not mention Divya Budhhi in his answer because if we have Divya Budhhi towards Satpurush, then we will be divya (divine), and as we are not Diviya, we cannot become like them.
A Question: “Should we maintain Divya Budhhi in Maharaj?”
Should we maintain Divya Buddhi in Maharaj?
The answer is yes. And ….. No.
If we want to acquire the virtues of Maharaja, then we should never maintain Divya Budhhi in Maharaj. But without maintaining Divya Budhhi in Maharaj, we will never come to know his greatness.
Should we maintain Divya Budhhi or Garaj Buddhi?
Whenever we want to acquire the virtues of other saints or devotees, we should never maintain Divya Budhhi. When you become a Mumukshu, you are very strict about it, but once you start getting credit for it, slowly, your Mumukushta (The quality or inner state of longing for liberation that exists within the Mumukshu).
When Shastriji Maharaj became a Sant that time he had Mumukushta . And when he became the Founder of Gurukul that time also he had Mumukushta. He got a good post but he remained firm in being a Mumukshu. Mostly when people get a good post in the spiritual field Mumukushta will not remain in them.
If someone even mistakenly says, “You are a good Devotee of Bhagawan”, Then your
When we want to acquire virtues of such Santos or devotees we should not have Divya Budhhii in them instead we should have Garaj Buddhi ( Burning Mentality or Burning Desire ). That I want to be like this devotee, I want to become like Nand Santos.
If you assume someone as Divya (divine) then what motivation will you get from him? No! You won’t get any motivation from them because he is Divya and we are not. So we cannot become like them if you Maintain Divya Budhhi in them.
No Value of Title!
I gave an example before of a devotee who used to donate a lot. He wanted to get the title of Dada Kachar. I will illustrate this with an example: “ If the lion, the king of the jungle, gives sheep the title of a lion, Will she be considered as a lion? The king himself declared that the sheep is the lion. Will she become a lion? Similarly, by acquiring the title of Dada Kachar, Parvat Bhai, Muktanand Swami, Ramanand Swami or anyone, you cannot be like them. You have to acquire their Goun (Virtues) then only you can be like them. There is no value of only title in this world, with title we need to acquire his Goun.
