After highlighting the story of Bharatji, son of Rushabhdev Bhagwan,
Shriji Maharaj describes the greatest of sins for a devotee of God,
“There are countless types of sins; but for a devotee of God,
of all those sins, having affection for anything except God is an
extremely grave sin. Therefore, if a wise person thinks over this
story of Bharatji, he becomes extremely fearful in his heart with
the thought, ‘What if I develop affection for anything other
than God?’ In this manner, he becomes extremely afraid.”

Explaining how desires arise, Shriji Maharaj says, “The desire
to indulge in the vishays actually arises because of the indriyas,
not because of the antahkaran. For example, extreme heat or cold
first comes into contact with the outer indriyas, and then enters
the body via those indriyas. In other words, it is not generated
from within; it is generated outside and then enters within. In
the same manner, desires for the panchvishays are not initially
generated in the antahkaran; rather, the indriyas first come into
contact with the vishays externally, and then those vishays enter
the antahkaran.”

Shriji Maharaj describes the characteristics of a person who has
understood the glory of God, “For one who realises the greatness
of God, to rule a kingdom or to have to beg for food are both equivalent.
He also feels the same towards a young girl, a 16-year-old girl,
and an 80-year-old woman. In fact, he views all of the attractive
and repulsive objects in this world as being equal; he does not
get enticed by an alluring object as a moth does by a lamp. In fact,
he is not tempted by any object whatsoever except for God; he is
only attracted to the form of God. A devotee who behaves in this
manner never becomes bound by vishays, regardless of how enticing
they may be.” |

Shriji Maharaj talks about the fidelity and courage of a devotee
towards God, “A devotee of God should firstly maintain fidelity,
and secondly, courage. For example, consider a woman who observes
the vow of fidelity. Even if her husband is old, sick, poor or ugly,
the mind of that faithful wife would never sway upon seeing the
virtues of another man. Even if a beggar’s wife, who observes
such a vow, were to see a great king, her mind would not waver.
In a similar manner, a devotee of God should observe the vow of
fidelity with God.
Furthermore, if someone were to speak ill of one’s husband,
then one should not remain timid and become subdued. Rather, one
should reply very boldly. In this manner, a devotee of God should
not become suppressed by evil people; he should be courageous."
