| Swamini Vato 3/7 (18/25) (pg. 108) | Anand Swami does as Maharaj says. MS has to pull his focus from Maharaj to do mundane activities. Swarupanand Swami says the object disappears and he sees only Maharaj. Like if a lemon was at the end of an arrow, that is the only thing you would see. |

| Swamini Vato 3/10 | Swarupanand Swami asked what the nature of the moksha attained by satsangis today is. Maharaj said it is like that of Kapil Dev, Dattatrey, and Rishabhdev. |
| Swamini Vato 3/12 | Go to Akshardham by understanding Maharaj to be purushottam (avatar na avatari and karan na karan). Stay in his service by becoming brahmrup by understanding the sadhu and doing his samagm (maan, karma, vachan). Aksharroop thai, purushottam ni bhakti. |
| Swamini Vato 3/13 | Bhrahmrup Vachanamruts: G I-23, II-30, II-45, Ahm 2,3. Murti dhrashtant. Must become brahmrup to have Maharaj in chaitanya mandir. Akhand vrutti if you remain without worldly desires at all times. |
| Swamini Vato 3/15 | One understands God and sant as they are if he understands that God sees & knows the intentions of all jivas without aid or support. Even with understanding, one behaves improperly because it reflects the extent of agnan, which is the extent of kusang. |
| Swamini Vato 3/16 | Those who believe in nirakar will never attain happiness. Maharaj has established 5 pillars of nishkam, nirlobh, nisvad, nisneh, and nirman. These can never be uprooted, but like no none in Ravan's kingdom could move Angad's (monkey) leg. |
| Swamini Vato 3/17 | Jiva Nu Jivan = upasana, agna, priti, suradpanu. 8 unfavorable factors can harm these to attach to satpurush in order to maintain them. How can one be free from attachments? Do as God and the sadhu say. How can God and sadhu be pleased? Do as they say. |
| Swamini Vato 3/19 | Horse example. Only is sant explains we can understand and explain Maharaj as sarvopari. 3 champa flowers. 1 = vadi, 2 = fulvadi, 3 = gardi (understand Maharaj as sarvopari). 3rd flower to Achintyanand Brahmchari to compose Hari Leela Kalpataru. |
| Swamini Vato 3/20 | How can one attain peace in the heart? By understanding the Sadhu just as one understand God. Calf example of finding udder. Maharaj is the body of Satsang. He resides through the sadhu. To get bliss of Maharaj, one must attach to the sadhu. |
| Swamini Vato 3/21 | Shivlal Shet - 1/2 satsang because he got ego for sponsoring murti in Gadhada and Acharya's stay in Botad. Calf example of looking for happiness everywhere besides God and Sant is like getting kicked. Not following agna, one won't be able to sit with God |
| Swamini Vato 3/22 | Shivlal Shet sold gold and sponsored thaal while doing samagam. Gunatitantans Swami said when doing samagam one should not think of anything besides katha, darshan and satsang. He destroyed Shival Shet's intellectual ego. |
| Swamini Vato 3/25 | Innermost principles of Maharaj understood if 1 serves sadhus like MS, KS & GS 4 many years. Grace of Maharaj and sant earned when drardh dharma, atma parmatama gnan, vairagya, and understands sarvoparipanu. Dehabhimani does not get grace (ex. Foiba) |
| Swamini Vato 3/26 | Who can maintain satsang? One who has mahima sahit priti. Sant samagam = gnan = mahima = sukh One foot in Akshardham = Birth in human form Two feet in Akshardham = Recognize the sadhu |
| Swamini Vato 3/27 | We have the sant so it is like the center of a sugarcane and it is convenient to worship God. Water cannot wet a waterfowl just like maya cannot affect one who has gnan. Like a swordfish can cut its way out like sant frees one with gnan from maya. |
| Swamini Vato 3/28 | Drashtant: Even if one locks up 1,000 million packets of ash in a trunk, they will still never be worth anything. Siddhant: Without the murti of God and the sant, there is no happiness or peace anywhere. Everything else is as worthless as packets of ash. |
| Swamini Vato 3/29 | A fish thinks that a ship or the reflection of the moon is another fish. They fail to realize the greatness of the ship and the moon. Foolish jivas think of Gos/Sant as human and don't realize they can make jivas brahmrup ans take them to Akshardham. |
| Swamini Vato 3/30 | Woodcutter was burning a sandalwood stick from Hemgopal forest without realizing value. A business smelled it and came and took the leftover and offered it to Vishnu and when he died he went to the abode of Vishnu. Forest = Bharat, sandalwood = human body |
| Swamini Vato 3/31 | If a mosquito lands on an eagles wings, it will require to effort to fly. Gopalanand S & Muktanand S = eagles. Wings = agna and upasana. 3 birds nurture eggs through mental focus, sight, keeping under wings. Bapa nurtures/protects us through mental focus. |
| Swamini Vato 3/32 | Remembering god leads to peace within leads to raajipo of sant, leads to bliss. Maharaj is raaji so he gave us sant (buddhiyog). Eternally please God: never disobey commands, never wish for happiness other than form of God, keep the company of the Sadhu. |
| Swamini Vato 3/33 | Why does the jiva not become brahmrup? It is not connected to the Sant. If it is connected, then does not trust. If it trusts, then is not nishkapat. Jiva cannot become brahmrup if it is not nishkapat. Ex. Jala Bhakta did not trust Gunatitanand Swami. |
