1827 Monday Vachanamrut Gadhada III-12
Shriji Maharaj describes the attitude of one who desires moksha, “One who desires one’s own liberation should not harbour any form of vanity – such as, ‘I have been born in an upper-class family,’ or ‘I am wealthy,’ or ‘I am handsome,’ or ‘I am a scholar.’ One should not keep any of these types of beliefs. In fact, even with a meek satsangi, one should behave as a servant of servants.”

1827 Saturday Vachanamrut Gadhada III-15
Shriji Maharaj gives the analogy of a wounded warrior to explain how the nine forms of bhakti serve to heal worldly wounds, “A warrior who returns injured from the battlefield rests on a cot because of his wounds; however, until his wounds are not dressed with bandages, the pain of the wounds does not cease, nor is he able to sleep. Only when bandages are applied to his wounds is he relieved of his pain, and only then is he able to sleep. In the same way, the jiva has been ‘wounded’ by the panchvishays due to the influence of unfavourable places, times, company and actions. Whichever of the nine types of bhakti relieves the pain of these ‘wounds’ caused by the vishays and makes one oblivious of the vishays themselves, should be thought of as the application of a bandage to the ‘wounds’. Also, that particular type of bhakti should be known to be one’s inclination in worshipping God.”
