[God created this world and He is very particular about i) justice, ii) peace and iii) unity of this society. One must avoid sins that cause destruction to these three concepts, at least due to the fear for hell created by God. This is the minimum and maximum expectation of God from a human being. Even an atheist is granted heaven if he/she follows justice avoiding sins. The punishment given to the atheist is not for atheism, but for his/her intensive sins only.]

[A false politician of Kali age also appears as if he/she is trying to bring justice, peace and unity in the humanity and he/she does this service only for attaining votes to succeed in the elections to earn money. In fact, some sincere politicians like Stalin, who are very fond of justice but not God, seriously try to bring justice, peace and unity in the humanity. But, neither of these two types of politicians will achieve the abode of God. The false politician goes to hell and the sincere politician goes to heaven after death. But, a politician, who is a strong devotee of God trying to bring these three (justice, peace and unity) in humanity through propagation of spiritual knowledge like AdiShankara, Ramajuna, Madhva, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Vivekananda etc., will reach the abode of God since such devotee views this creation as the property of God and feels that his service is for God and not for the society.]

[Souls doing human service without reference to God reach the upper world called ‘Bhuvar loka’ or star-world. Souls doing human service with faith in God, but, aspiring profits in return reach still higher world called ‘Suvar loka’ or heaven. The souls of highest level are attached to God only and even their social service is based on their love to God only. These highest-level of souls reach ‘Maharloka,’ ‘Janaloka’ and ‘Tapoloka’ for betterment of their spiritual devotion to God and finally, reach the upper seventh world called ‘Satya Loka’ or ‘Brahma Loka’ or ‘Vaikunṭha’ or ‘Shiva Loka’. If a soul becomes exceptional due to madness of devotion, such soul reaches the higher than the highest world called Goloka.]

[Observing the inevitable punishments of wrongdoers on earth, one can easily infer the existence of the omniscient and omnipotent God. Being omniscient, He knows the truth without the help of any witnesses or advocates. He punishes all sinners in their lifetimes, using His omnipotence. It is the experience of people over generations that the sinners, who manage to escape from the human law receive the divine punishment. Similarly, God rewards good people doing merits here itself. Owing to their long experience, people have developed a firm belief in the existence of God and His perfect administration. They know that God is constantly witnessing everything in this world. Thus, the concepts of God’s existence and His perfect administration are based on the authority of perception. This means that there are heaven and hell on the earth also to give fruits to intensive deeds.]

[Although unimaginable miracles are clearly seen through perception, the atheists dismiss even genuine miracles as magic tricks because if they accept God’s existence, they cannot commit sins freely. They only fear the punishment of their crimes from the courts of law. But, they also know that they can escape from the human law using clever advocates, influence and corruption. As long as the concept of God remains, they cannot be free of fear since they know that none of the above means can help them escape punishment in the court of God. Hence, atheists oppose the very idea of the existence of God.]

[An atheist, who opposes the existence of God by saying that he does not believe in God, but, does good deeds, is a perfect hypocrite. When God is rewarding the good deeds, the atheist doing good deeds should logically like God. But, the atheist does not like God because he/she does sins secretly and covers himself/herself by the mask of goodness. Atheists fool the public by merely claiming that one can follow ethics even without the concept of God. If the person is a genuinely ethical atheist, he/she would stay silent about God and His administration.]

[For the sake of management of world peace, hell and heaven are used for temporary reformation and encouragement respectively. Punishment gives only fear. The realization and subsequent reformation come by spiritual knowledge alone. Every human being does actions based on some convinced logical conclusions of the brain only and unless this highest faculty of intelligence is attacked and convinced, there can't be a change in the person. There cannot be anything higher than the correct guidance given by true spiritual knowledge preached by God. Shankara says that if you are associated with the correct spiritual preacher and true devotees, you are liberated in this life itself (Satsaṅgatve…). The Veda says "Hear, memorize and digest" (Śrotavyo mantavyo nididhyāsitavyaḥ).]

[Liberation from selfishness is the essence of salvation. The devotion darkens with black in the direction of selfishness and shines with illumination in the direction of selfless sacrifice to God. God is not pleased with the magnitude of the devotion and He is pleased only by the purity of devotion. Purity means lack of any trace of desire in the direction of selfishness. When a devotee is always thinking about worldly affairs only, without thinking about God, such devotee is almost an atheist in the disguise of a theist!]

[Absence of aspiration is the starting point of Nivrutti level. If the devotee puts spiritual efforts in the aspiration-less practical service and sacrifice (Niṣkāma Karma Yoga), which is like the true love shown on one’s own issues in which no aspiration for any fruit in return exists, then only, more devotion to God will be developed and more detachment from worldly bonds will be obtained. Without involving in God's work practically and simply involving in theoretical devotion, one can never expect a practical fruit from God in any context of life. Any soul involved in God's propagation work alone becomes the close family member of God. If a devotee does God’s work giving topmost priority and without any aspiration for the fruit in return, God will keep that devotee on His head.]

[God is pleased only by the soul’s participation in His work. To participate in the service of God continuously without any trace of selfishness is real salvation. Total surrender to God means total participation in the work of God and not simply sitting before God without doing any work. Service given by God is the most fortunate opportunity for soul’s prosperity here as well as in the next life also. No devotee should think that God is in need of his/her service and that God cannot do His work. The work of God itself is payment of the salary for the work.]

[Propagation of knowledge helps memorizing those concepts again and again. By such process of memorization, the concepts are intensively impressed on the devotee’s brain, which immensely benefits the devotee to implement the concepts in his/her spiritual practice. As long as the devotee is in propagation, ignorance can’t appear just like the darkness can’t appear as long as light shines. The main duty of a saint is to propagate the spiritual knowledge in this world and for this purpose alone, Saṃnyāsa is taken. The saffron color of the cloth of a saint indicates the color of ripened fruit, which stands for the ultimate knowledge in the spiritual path. Without such knowledge, the saffron cloth is meaningless.]

[Salvation from the worldly bonds based on self-meditation is always temporary and by the grace of God alone, it becomes permanent. Self or soul is just a bundle of strong thoughts and the soul comes to life when awareness in the body is connected to the Citta (bundle of thoughts). When the soul cannot control an inert action like heartbeat etc., in its own body and when the soul itself disappears as soon as the body falls asleep due to tiredness, can such petty soul give salvation to itself? If one withdraws from worldly bonds (Vairāgya), it doesn't mean that the person is attached to God (Bhakti). A stone detached from worldly bonds cannot be called as salvated! Salvation means liberation from worldly bonds due to unidirectional bond with God. Liberation from world is an indirect measure of the intensity of association with God. To attain salvation, the devotee must concentrate all the love to God without an iota leftover for the world.]

[The mind cannot simply keep silent without being attached to something. Desire is the nature of the mind and hence, mind can’t be without desire for a long time. Therefore, desire for God shall remove all the other desires and the mind also gets satisfied since it is never in the state of ‘no desire’. In the initial stage, one must always try to minimize the desires and divert the desires to God before reaching the state of ‘no desire from God’. I have already told that worship of God without desire for any fruit in return will take the devotee to the climax of Nivrutti, which is the highest unimaginable fruit! Salvation (Mokṣa) means the relief from worldly bonds. It happens only by Yoga, which means attachment to God. The root-word of Yoga is ‘yuj’ and it means attachment. The root word of Mokṣa is ‘muñc’ and it means detachment. When you are strongly attached to one item, other items naturally drop off. Salvation cannot be attained by any forced effort. Mokṣa or salvation is possible only through Yoga, it is impossible otherwise. Therefore, all the effort should be for the attachment to God and no trace of effort shall be done for the detachment from the world. A stone has no awareness and hence, it has no bonds with the world. But, the stone cannot be told as liberated from the world. Only the item having awareness can be liberated from all the worldly bonds due to the bond with God.]

[Absence of rebirth in salvation means only the absence of rebirth entangled in the family bonds. People often misunderstand salvation to be the soul’s escape from the cycle of rebirth in this world. It is totally wrong. Even God takes rebirth in this world, again and again. Is a soul greater than God to avoid the cycle of rebirths? God says that His birth and activities in this world are divine (Janma karma ca me divyaṃ...—Gita). Taking birth along with God and participating in His divine service in this world is the real salvation. It means that the soul will not be attached to worldly bonds in such births. Once liberated, the soul cannot be entangled in worldly bonds by the grace of God. When an ordinary soul is born in the world, it is fully attached to worldly bonds. But whenever the soul in the state of salvation is born on earth, it is not bound by worldly bonds. In that sense, it is said that the soul has escaped rebirth in this world. Actually, the soul does not avoid rebirth and it merely avoids being reborn with attachment to worldly bonds. Such liberated souls are reborn in this world again and again to do God’s work and they remain fully attached to God in each birth.]

[This strong attachment also comes without any effort because the divine personality of God is so attractive that one will be attached to God as soon as he/she comes to know everything about God after removing all the doubts. Of course, in the initial stage, one has to put forth a little bit of effort. The devotee has to set aside the worldly bonds for a little time, in order to know about God. Attachment to God is Bhakti Yoga. It is the natural consequence of Jñāna Yoga, which is getting complete knowledge about God. Karma Yoga is the practical proof of the devotee’s real attachment to God and is part of Bhakti Yoga itself. It is said that God grants salvation to all the family members of the devotee, who pleases God to the climax. But, salvation for the entire family is an Arthavāda (beneficial lie), which is used so that the family will encourage the spiritual effort of the devotee with selfishness.]

[Salvation means liberation from the three strongest worldly bonds and it is the matter of an individual. Shankara gets salvation from the fascination of His worldly bond with the mother. But, His mother being highly fascinated to her son, doesn’t agree to leave her son for God’s work. One should realize that God loves every soul for its happiness and it is justified to love God for His happiness. In the Veda, sage Yajnyavalkya says that every worldly love is selfish only (Ātmanaḥ kāmāya sarvaṃ priyaṃ). Worldly bonds love the soul for their happiness and it is justified to cheat the worldly bonds by lying to them in the path of attaining God. But, souls waste their precious human life by doing the reverse of cheating God through false theoretical devotion and remaining loyal to worldly bonds by doing both practical sacrifice and service to them.]

[One can clearly understand that one’s love cannot protect either oneself or one’s own family members. Soul’s love towards another soul is only some loss of precious nervous energy and valuable time. If one diverts his/her love towards God, God will not only protect the soul, but also its family members here in this world as well as in the upper world since the family members supported the soul to attain His grace. The real relatives are the co-devotees only even if they are not blood-related family members because the co-devotees help the spiritual aspirant to attain total protection from God. One becomes holy not due to bath, silk cloth etc. One becomes holy when he/she is in association with spiritual people. Similarly, one becomes unholy due to association with worldly people.]

[When somebody loves you and becomes rigid in his or her love for you in spite of your hectic opposition, such love is real. True love is the essence of life, which must be dedicated to God alone. Don’t love anybody except God and don’t expect love from anybody except from God. When every trace of your body, mind and words becomes like a tiny crystal of sand burning in summer in your love for God, such state is called as ‘Mahābhāva’ or Samādhi. One must always try to impress the mind of God by his/her practical sacrifice and practical service and should not crave for vision in which there is nothing! The language in which a devotee prays God is not at all important to God since God knows all the languages of this world. God gives more importance to the feelings, which is the meaning of the prayer.]

[A true devotee is never in search of superpower and he/she is always in search of God to surrender his/her power in the service to God without any aspiration in return. If one disobeys God's commandments in Pravrutti, one cannot be His devotee in Nivritti because loyalty is basis of true love. God’s help comes to the devotee after the effort only. God’s help is always proportional to the devotee’s effort. Bread is proportional to flour. One can’t get more bliss from even crores of rupees compared to the bliss one gets from each sentence of God’s message.]

[One must remain in the discussion about God (Satsaṅga) as far as possible. The intervals inevitably involve the devotee in the worldly issues only. If the intensity of Satsaṅga is more, the spiritual journey becomes extremely faster. Whatever you hear enters the mind and gets reflected through your words and actions. Avoid talking and hearing the worldly people. Always engage in the association of spiritual devotees. A devotee should never aspire to become popular in this society of worldly people. This is the reason for the sages to go to the forests. Since the surrounding atmosphere is always important, one should neither be alone (your mind jumps here and there when you are alone) nor be with many people. Association with limited number of devotees is always the best. The best worship is to get inspired by the divine personality of God in devoted discussions with limited number of devotees (Satsaṅga).]
