Shriji Maharaj describes the characteristics of maya, "Affection
for anything other than God is itself maya. In fact, the affection
a person has towards his own body and its relatives and towards
one who provides for his body exceeds even the extreme affection
one has for the panchvishays. Thus, a person who has severed affection
for his body, its relations and those who provide for his body is
said to have transcended God’s maya. In fact, a person who
severs affection for everyone other than God develops affection
towards God. Then, when affection for God is developed, his vrutti
continuously remains on God. When that is achieved, he has nothing
further to achieve; he has become fulfilled.” |

Vachanamrut Gadhada

Shriji Maharaj explains how innate natures can be eradicated, "When
the Satpurush gives guidance on how to eradicate such swabhavs,
if a person has total faith in those words; if he has deep affection
for the Satpurush giving the guidance; and no matter how painfully
strong the Satpurush’s words seem, if he accepts those words
to be for his own benefit – then his innate natures will
be eradicated. Except for this, there is no other method. Therefore,
regardless of how much God or the Satpurush insults him for the
purpose of eradicating his swabhavs, and regardless of the harsh
words they may utter – a person who wishes to eradicate
his innate natures should not feel hurt in any way and should
consider only the virtues of the person advising him. If one behaves
in this manner, then that nature, which otherwise could not be eradicated
in any way, is eradicated.”

Vachanamrut Gadhada

Shriji Maharaj emphasises how jealousy taints one's spiritual endeavours,
"If a devotee of God engages in delivering spiritual discourses,
singing devotional songs, listening to talks of God, and the rest
of the nine types of bhakti with jealousy towards other devotees,
then God is not very pleased by that bhakti. But if, having discarded
jealousy, one offers bhakti only for one’s own liberation
and not to display to other people, then God is pleased by that
bhakti. Therefore, one who wants to please God should not offer
bhakti to please other people or out of jealousy for someone, but
should do so only for one’s own liberation." |

Vachanamrut Gadhada III-7
Shriji Maharaj asserts, "A devotees should firmly keep his mind
at the holy feet of God. Just as an iron nail that is firmly affixed
to an iron surface can never be separated, similarly, one’s
mind should be fixed firmly at the holy feet of God. When the devotee
has kept his mind at the holy feet of God in this manner, he does
not have to die to attain the abode of God – he has attained
it while still alive.” |
