TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Gopis said the above words while talking to each other.

After listening to the flute of GOD not only Gopis fall in love but even the birds and animals of the forest were also mesmerized. When mother cows listened to the flute of GOD they raised both their ears and started enjoying the music. It seemed like they were drinking the nectar. Mother cows brought the image of GOD in their heart with the help of their eyes and embraced GOD in mind. Tears of pleasure started flowing from their eyes. After getting the touch of GOD, their heart rejoices and milk starts flowing from their udder automatically.

It is only GOD who has the ability to mesmerize everyone.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Gopis said the above words while talking to each other.

It is a mistake to call the birds and animals of Shri Vrindavanji as birds and animals because, in reality, they were the supreme Deities, sages and saints who have taken birth in the place of pastime of GOD to participate in GOD’s Holy pastime. These birds and animals sat around GOD while He played the flute and got overjoyed after watching the pleasantness of GOD’s beauty. They concentrate on the sound of the flute leaving apart all other sounds and bless their lives.

To achieve the contiguity of GOD all animals, birds, trees and creepers were eager. GOD included everyone in His Holy pastime and gave them the gift of ecstasy.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. Devotees are always eager to achieve the contiguity of GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Gopis said the above words while talking to each other.

Gopis says that leave the matter of animals, birds, trees and creepers but it is also the desire of rivers to meet GOD. They stop their flow and listen to the melody of GOD’s flute. With the help of their waves, they bring the lotus which blossoms inside them near the bank and offer them to GOD. They embrace GOD by their water and devote their heart to the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD.

In each and every particle which comes in contact with GOD, there is a competition to sacrifice themselves for GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Gopis said the above words while talking to each other.

Gopis says that each and everything of Shri Vrindavanji is fascinated by GOD and even the clouds of the sky also earnestly want to serve GOD. While serving cows when GOD plays flute then the heart of the cloud gets filled with love. They hover above GOD to cast shadow and stretch themselves like an umbrella so as to give comfort to GOD. They start showering small showers to cool GOD. It seems like they adore GOD by offering Him kumkum. In this way, clouds also sacrifice their life for the service of GOD.

The entire nature is eager to serve GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - One principle is rendered here that if we have done any error or offense then it can be rectified by taking the shelter of GOD who is the witness of all our deeds.

A creature performs errors and offenses in life. It is the nature of the creature that he makes mistakes. The only way to get rid of this is to take the shelter of GOD who is the witness of all our deeds, should do true repentance after apologizing to GOD for offense and should take a resolution not to repeat the offense again in life. If we do so then GOD immediately pardons us for all our errors and offenses.

GOD is the pardoner and forgives all our errors and offenses immediately.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. GOD forgives our sins if we go in the shelter of GOD and do true repentance.

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

GOD says that those who have dedicated their mind and life to GOD they do not have any desire for worldly pleasures. Their desires are not capable of pursuing them and take them towards worldly pleasures. GOD gives a parable that if we sow boiled or roasted seeds then they will not germinate, similarly, the wish of worldly desires never sprouts in the heart of GOD’s devotees. That creature who has dedicated himself to GOD is not attracted by any worldly desires.

Therefore, a creature must live his life by dedicating himself to GOD so that he is not trapped in the swamp of worldly desires.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Once while serving cows with herdsman children GOD went far enough in the forest. When the Herdsman children felt hungry they told it to GOD. GOD did this Holy pastime to grace the Brahmin wives.

GOD said to herdsman children that few Brahmins are performing Yagna (religious sacrifice) at some distance from here. Go there and bring some food material by taking the name of GOD. Brahmins were engaged in big Yagnas for an insignificant return like heaven and so they did not pay any attention to the plea of herdsman children. Then GOD again sent those herdsman children to the Brahmin wives with a plea. Those Brahmin wives have devoted their heart to the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD after listening about the qualities, pastimes, beauty and pleasantness of GOD. Therefore they immediately went to GOD with food supplies regardless of being restrained by their brothers, husbands and sons.

A creature must try to understand the Godliness of GOD and should desire to serve and meet GOD and should not be entangled in mere means.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. We should have a desire to serve GOD and unite with GOD.

GOD says that those intellectual persons who know about their true well-being, they love GOD the most. Their love is selfless and there is no disruption, hesitation, hiding or dilemma in their love. Those who love this world get disappointment in the end but those who truly love only GOD they experience ecstasy. Loving GOD after coming into this world is the completeness of our life. This life will only become successful when we truly love only GOD.

Therefore, a creature must make his human life successful by greatly loving GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Brahmin wives said the above words to GOD.

One principle is rendered here. The principle is that the one who has attained GOD once never needs to come back to the world again. Until we have not attained GOD we are caught in the worldly cycle by being trapped in the cycle of birth and death. But when we attain GOD then our movement from this world gets over forever and we never have to return back to the world. We become free from the cycle of birth and death forever. The cycle of birth and death continues till we attain GOD.

Therefore, a creature must try to attain GOD in his human life so that he never has to come into the world again.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Brahmin wives said the above words to GOD.

In the above words, there is a primacy of sense of surrender. What prayer we should perform after coming into the shelter of GOD, a beautiful illustration is described here for this. Brahmin wives said to GOD that now they have come at the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD. There is no other support for them from anyone other than the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD. They say to GOD that now please make such an arrangement that they should never require to take shelter of anyone else. These things are the main thing in surrender to GOD. First thing, to take the shelter of GOD. Secondly, do not expect anything from anyone other than GOD. Thirdly, never take shelter of anyone other than GOD.

A creature must take the complete shelter of GOD in his human life.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. We must completely surrender to GOD and remain in the shelter of GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD said the above words to Brahmin wives.

Brahmin wives went to meet GOD even after the denial of their brother, husband and sons. Therefore they were afraid that on return their brother, husband and sons would reproach them. All-knowing GOD was aware of their pain. Therefore GOD consoled them by saying that now they are under the shelter of GOD and have become of GOD so now not only their family but the entire world will honor them. From the words of GOD, a principle is rendered here. The principle is that the creature who becomes of GOD is honored by the entire world. Such creatures become honorable for everyone. Examples of this are our sages, saints and devotees.

Therefore, a creature must take the shelter of GOD and become of GOD then only his human life will be successful.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. The world honors the creature who gets associated with GOD and becomes of GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Brahmins said the above words while talking to each other.

When Brahmin wives came back after giving food supplies to GOD and achieving the contiguity of GOD and Brahmins came to know that GOD is the supreme LORD performing pastime as a human then they regretted it badly. After watching the divine love for GOD in the heart of their wives and not finding the same in their own heart Brahmins regretted, condemned and damned themselves. Their wives, who have not performed any righteous deeds, had a deep love in the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD but even after performing righteous deeds, Brahmins were not able to generate love towards the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD. They believed it as GOD’s grace that GOD had warned them and made them aware of their mistake.

The clue is that the essence of all our deeds is to develop love and devotion towards GOD. Until this happens, our deeds will not prove to be meaningful.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. All our deeds must generate our love and devotion for GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Brahmins said the above words while talking to each other.

When the Brahmins regretted for not achieving the contiguity of GOD and they damned themselves, they were comforted at the same time. They considered it as their ultimate fortune that they are so blessed to have got such wives who loved GOD so deeply. It is worth noting that the Brahmins accepted that due to the love and devotion of their wives towards GOD now their intellect is also full of love for GOD. When any member of the family undertakes the devotion of GOD then his ordination of devotion gradually affects others and becomes an inspiration for them for undertaking GOD’s devotion.

In whichever family there is a true devotee of GOD, then that whole family gets blessed.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. When any member of the family undertakes devotion of GOD, that act of devotion becomes a blessing for the entire family.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Gops and Gopis said the above words to GOD.

Here too, the main emotion is of surrender to GOD. When GOD enabled worship of GOD Shri Girirajji then Shri Indradevji became angry and called the savartak (catastrophic) clouds and ordered them to drown Shri Braj in water by pouring heavy torrential thunderstorms. Savartak clouds started pouring thick streams of water on Shri Braj and every corner of Shri Braj was filled with water and all residents started shivering and trembling with cold. Then all of them came to the shelter of GOD. They surrendered to GOD and said to GOD that their only protector and their only owner is GOD. They requested devotee lover GOD to protect them.

A creature must only expect protection from GOD by undertaking His shelter in distress.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD blesses and protects the one who surrenders, this is visible here in the feelings expressed by GOD.

It is the vow of GOD that when anyone comes to the shelter and asks for protection, GOD makes him fearless. When residents of Braj went to the shelter of GOD for protection from Shri Indradevji’s anger then GOD took a vow to protect them. GOD saw that all residents of Braj are dependent on Him and consider Him as their only protector. So GOD took the responsibility of protection on Himself. When any creature who had surrendered to GOD calls GOD for protection then GOD always holds the responsibility of his protection.

A creature must take the shelter of GOD and should pray to GOD for protection in distress.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - To save the residents of Braj from Shri Indradevji’s anger GOD held Shri Girirajji (mountain) on the nail of His little finger as if He was playing a game.

Then GOD called all the residents of Braj to come and sit in the pit made by lifting the mountain along with their family and cows. GOD gave them consolation and said that He had framed this tactic to protect them from the thunderstorm and heavy rain. Then GOD abandoned His hunger and thirst, forgot the need of His rest and lifted Shri Girirajji for seven days on His nail of the little finger. GOD did not move even a single step in those seven days. GOD can do anything to fulfill the vow He gave for the protection of the one who surrenders to Him. GOD can never let any ominous happen to the one who surrenders to Him.

Nothing is greater than GOD’s shelter in life, therefore, a creature should always surrender completely to GOD.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. We must surrender completely to GOD under all circumstances.

When GOD held Shri Girirajji on the nail of His little finger then all Gops were surprised after watching this supernatural act. They asked Shri Nandji for the solution to their doubt. Shri Nandji told them about the words that Maharishi Shri Gargacharyaji told on the occasion of the naming of GOD. Maharishi Shri Gargacharyaji told Shri Nandji that those who will love your son, they will be very fortunate. He said that as demons can never win over the Deities who reside under the shelter of GOD, similarly, those who will love GOD can never be won by any internal or external enemy.

If we do not want to be defeated in life then we should undertake loving devotion of GOD and remain in GOD's shelter.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Indradevji said the above words in praise of GOD.

Shri Indradevji appeared in front of GOD to apologize for his offense. His ego went away that he was the owner of all the three worlds. He said to GOD that GOD is the supreme Father of the universe. He said to GOD that GOD is the master of the universe. Therefore in all Holy Scriptures GOD has been entitled as the master of the universe. He said to GOD that the only owner of the universe is also GOD.

Therefore, we should also visualize GOD as a father of the universe, master of the universe and owner of the universe. When we do so then GOD holds our responsibility as our father, guides us like a master and grace us like an owner.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS

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

Here GOD has rendered one fact. GOD says that I destroy the opulence of those to whom I favor. We can visualize this fact in the life of devotees that GOD destroyed their opulence to take them out from worldly illusion and to attract them towards Him. As long as there is a charm of money, wealth, splendor and opulence in the mind of the creature, he cannot attain GOD. Therefore, GOD destroys the opulence from the life of His true devotees so that they could be qualified to reach GOD by walking on the path of devotion with reclusiveness.

A devotee can have reclusiveness and reach GOD, therefore, GOD graces him by removing the opulence of this world from his life.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. GOD takes away the charm of money and wealth from the life of true devotees so that they can be reclusive and can reach GOD with devotion.

When Gops came to know that Shri Nandji is missing, they started weeping and immediately went to GOD. They requested GOD to protect Shri Nandji. Gops were aware that GOD is almighty and is capable of doing everything. Gops were aware that even though it was a mistake of Shri Nandji but still it is only GOD who can save him. It is the vow of GOD that He removes the fear of His devotees and makes them fearless.

Even after any offense is being committed by us then we should take the shelter of GOD then only we will be able to escape that crisis.

Shri Varundevji told GOD that today his birth is successful because he has got the best opportunity to serve the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD. Shri Varunlok became holy due to the arrival of GOD. He said that he has achieved all manhood after an audience with GOD. Shri Varundevji told GOD that he knew that in the past also those who have got the privilege of serving the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD, have crossed the worldly ocean.

Everyone was surprised to hear this and all the Gops started thinking that GOD is the real LORD. Then they expressed the wish to see the dwelling of GOD in their mind where only the loving devotees of GOD can go. GOD is all-knowing and to fulfill their wish GOD took them to His dwelling. After viewing the divine dwelling of GOD, everyone was immersed in ecstasy because they saw that all Shri Vedji (sacred texts) were worshipping and praising GOD. They were overwhelmed after seeing this.

A creature can achieve the dwelling of GOD on the strength of his love and devotion for GOD. Loving devotion has such capability that it leads the creature to the supreme dwelling of GOD.

When GOD played the flute for Shri Raas then Gopis leaving their fear, hesitation and patience, ran away to meet GOD. Some Gopis were milking, they left milking and ran. Some left the milk boiling on the stove and ran. Some were serving food, they left serving and ran. Some were feeding milk to children, they left feeding and ran. Some were eating food, they left food and ran. Some were doing makeup, they ran in unfinished make-up. One Gopi had applied kajal (soot) in one of her eyes, she ran forgetting to apply it in the other. Some Gopis ran wearing upside-down garments to meet GOD. Even after being stopped by father, husband, brother and sons, they went to meet GOD. GOD Shri Shukdevji says that this happened because GOD had attracted their life, mind, soul and everything.

The attraction of GOD is so much that the devotee cannot stop himself from meeting GOD.

GOD Shri Shukdevji says that we should only have a relationship with GOD, regardless of whatever relationship it may be. Relation with GOD can be for any reason, whether it is due to fear, affection or relationship. We should connect our continuous instincts with GOD in any sense. When our senses are connected with GOD they let us attain GOD. The summary is that, in any sense, we should keep our lives connected with GOD. Regardless of whatever we do, if we succeed in establishing a relationship with GOD, our welfare becomes sure at that same time.

Therefore, the creature should establish a relationship with GOD whichever he likes, then only his welfare will be ensured.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. We should ensure that we establish a favorite relationship with GOD.
