In Kariyani Vachanamrut 12, Maharaj mentioned that our body is composed of three layers, one containing the other: Physical body, Subtle body, and Causal body. Physical body is the body composed of five basic elements: Earth (bones, skin, etc.,), Water (blood and other fluids), Fire (digestive system), Air (oxygen), and…

There is a difference between Moh (Enchantment or Infatuation) and ignorance. If you explain something good to an ignorant person, he accepts his mistake and changes himself. If you explain something good to an enchanted (Mohit) person, he accepts whatever you say, but doesn’t change himself. Maharaj Dhrutarashtra had intense…

Maharaj said that anyone could overcome the roots of Lust and Anger only if he has the understanding like King Janak. Why did not Maharaj take the name of Lord Shiva or Lord Brahma. Whose knowledge is complete. King Janak’s knowledge? or Lord Brahma, Lord Shiva, Parasar’s knowledge is complete?…

A devotee of God should always see divinity in human pastimes of God. In divine pastimes, anyhow we see divinity. When Garudji was called to free Lord Ram from Nagastra (weapon-of-snakes), Garudji came from Vaikunth and freed Lord Ram and Lakshman. After the incident, Garudji doubted on Lord Ram by…

Shankaracharya believes in Nirakar (God without form). Ramanujacharya believes in Sakar (God with form). Why is the difference when both had same sources i.e. Vedas? It is because Shankaracharya’s Guru believed in Nirakar form of God. Ramanujacharya’s Guru believed in the Sakar form of God. Guru is the one who…

What is the difference between performing devotion to God and actually loving God? Offering food to Maharaj, chanting the names of God, performing Puja of God, and serving God are all actions representing devotion to God. Loving God is different. If the father has only one son, he cannot live…

Jeeva Bhai of Jaska village asked Nityanand Swami, “Swami, how do we strengthen our faith in Maharaj?” Nityanand Swami replied, “If we do Satsang by leaving the Kusang, then we gradually develop firm faith in Maharaj.” Maharaj replied, “If you do Satsang for your ultimate good, your faith would be…

Kakabhai asked a question to Nityanand Swami, “Swami, what is that thing that drives us towards worldly desires, and what is that thing that drives us towards Maharaj?” Nityanand Swami replied, “The thing that drives us towards worldly desires is our mind. The thing that drives us towards Maharaj is…

Sadgun Swami asked, “Swami, among Satsang and Kusang, which is the strongest?” Let us say there is a fight between Satsang and Kusang. Who wins? Let us also say both Satang and Kusang are equally strong. Does Satsang win or does Kusang? Maharaj said that Satsang always wins over Kusang.…

Nishkulanand Swami’s “Kalyan-Nirnay” scripture explains a beautiful case: Let us say there is a fake Saint, and a real devotee submits to him. The fake Saint is so clever that he hides his pretense and makes sure that it is never revealed. The real devotee does sincere worship of the…

When Bhagubhai of Bhadran asked Maharaj, “Maharaj, how does a soul achieve its ultimate good. How could it be free from the cycle of birth and death and reach Akshardham?” Maharaj replied, “God comes to earth in two forms: As a Saint or as a King.” Not all kings are…

Gunatitanand Swami said that virtues define God and a Saint. Not opulence. Demons too had opulence. Demon Hiranyakasipu was an Antaryami. If anyone in his kingdom chanted “Narayana”, he would at once know and punish them severely. When we were in Rajkot Gurukul, we used to take children on a…

The churning of the ocean was performed by the combined efforts of demigods and demons. They divided all the precious things that came out of the effort equally until the ultimate drink of immortality – the nectar was brought out by Lord Dhanvantari in a golden bowl. The demons immediately…

In Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna mentioned that there exist four types of devotees. 1. Devotee in distress 2. Devotee with desires. 3. Devotee with inquisitive mind 4. Devotee with knowledge. Among them, Lord Krishna said that Devotees with knowledge is very dear to Him. All the four types have extreme…

Eternally in all our lives (past and present) we had been rolling in worldly affairs and we became the master of it. Only in this life we got into Godly affairs. Does it take eternal time to remove all our worldly stains as we were eternally in it? No. Like…

As we progress on devotional path, we gain many prosperous benefits, opulence, capabilities (siddhis) like Vachan-Siddhi (whatever you say would happen), ability to see future, etc., These are the by-products of your devotion. Some examples: Vyapakanand Swami made a dead horse alive by transferring the soul of a mosquito. Bringing…

The real Satsang happens when you have faith and trust with a single-minded Saint. Like we have faith and trust in a friend, we should have trust and faith in a Saint. If you are close to a friend you get access to all his possessions, all his connections, and…

As the roots of a tree keeps it green and fresh, sense objects keep the soul in the cycle of life and death. Maharaj compares life of a person with a banyan tree. If there is a banyan tree with many branches, and all the roots are disconnected to the…

By performing devotion like chanting, dandavats, puja, and all other activities, we become closer to Maharaj. But only devotion is not sufficient to remove the Vasana (inner materialistic desires). Sometimes, devotion in itself may cause the rise of inner desires. It might increase the desire for better name among the…

We may leave this body at any moment: even today or this very minute. We are supposed to leave it for sure. Nishkulanand Swami says that it is good for you if you understand and get detached from the worldly desires and worldly people from mind. Otherwise, Yamdev is anyhow…
