The original Shukdevji always sings Shrimad Bhagwat.
Modern Shukdevjis (modern speakers of Shrimad Bhagwat) also sing Shrimad Bhagwat always.
Then what is the difference between original Shukdevji and modern Shukdevjis?
Original Shukdevji had no bank account. And so, there is no question of bank balance.
Modern Shukdevjis have bank accounts in first-class banks.
Original Shukdevji had no desire for money. He never made monetary agreements to deliver a katha.
Modern Shukdevjis make a deal before delivering a katha. “If I deliver this katha, how much will the donation be?”
On the other hand, modern saints accuse money in their katha. They cannot be called a saint otherwise. They blame money on the stage, but behind the stage they keep hold of rich people. They hold them so firmly that those rich people can’t even move an inch away from them. Without those rich people, where would the modern saint get riches from? So, a modern saint is an expert in maintaining a good balance between blaming riches and holding rich people.
Original Shukdevji doesn’t need anything to bring him into the mood of reading Shrimad Bhagwat.
Modern Shukdevji consumes tea, coffee, betel leaves, and other things to bring him into the mood of reading Shrimad Bhagwat. The more they consume those things, the more exciting the katha will be.
Original Naradji provides key spiritual techniques for the spiritual growth of the souls, without any selfish motives. Modern Naradjis are never less than original Naradji in providing key spiritual techniques to surrendered souls, yet they are not without selfish motives.
Original Jad Bharat had no vehicle of his own. King Raghugan had asked the original Jad Bharat to carry his palanquin for which the original Jad Bharat accepted the order and carried the king’s palanquin.
Would Modern Jad Bharat(s) (modern saints) carry anyone’s palanquin however powerful the other person is? No one can dare to ask them.
If a devotee buys a new vehicle and asks a modern saint to bless the new vehicle by stepping in, the modern saint speaks so well that the devotee has to leave his new vehicle in the place of the modern saint, at least for a few days.
When a modern saint goes out somewhere, he has to be carried in first-class vehicles. Some extremely modern saints don’t get into a vehicle unless it is extremely high-class.
Moreover, where can we find the latest model cars? Will they be with modern saints or with the devotees?
At first, we will find the latest model cars in the place of modern saints. Then, other devotees would know about the latest model by seeing them at their Guru’s place. They then think, “As my Guru has bought this model, let me buy it as well.”
When King Raghugan or King Janakji donates a vehicle to those original saints, they didn’t have a garage or a place to keep that vehicle and maintain it.
If a modern saint gets a vehicle as a donation, they make all arrangements, like setting up a garage, etc., to get hold of it.
Original Sanakji, Shukdevji, Jad Bharat, Naradji accept their faults. When anyone tells them their fault, they will accept it and fix it. In fact, they don’t have any faults or make any mistakes. If we notice all through their history, even if they had made some mistakes, they fixed them by rectifying those mistakes immediately.
Modern saints are different in that sense, too. When someone points a fault in them, they would make sure that person never reaches his home or see the next day’s sunrise.
