Aptavani-1
A true devotee will even reprimand the Lord if he has any
worries, he would question the Lord why he has worries when
the Lord says that he should not. He who does not reprimand
the Lord is not a true devotee. Scold or reprimand the God
within you if you have worries. True love is when you reprimand
even God. One cannot find a true devotee these days. Everyone
is caught up in his or her own worldly needs and selfish plans.
When you go around believing, ‘I am the doer…I am the
doer’, worries will occur. Narsinh Mehta (a renowned spiritual
poet) says :
‘I am the doer, I am the doer, itself is ignorance
Like the dog, walking under a (ox-drawn) cart believes
‘I am pulling the oxcart’
The world runs automatically,
Rare is the One (yogi-yogeswar) who knows this.’
When all the yogis (worldly saints) read this, they were
flattered. These lines refer to atmayogi and atmayogeshwars
(those who have known the Soul). An atma yogeshwar is a rare
phenomenon, which comes about once in a million years. He
alone is the one who has traversed through every atom of the
entire universe. He lives within and outside the universe and
speaks from experience. He alone knows who created the world,
how it was created and how it functions. I am the atma
yogeshwar of this age. Make the most of this opportunity that
presents to you. I will take away all your worries in just one
hour and what is more, I give you my guarantee that should you
experience any worries, you can file a lawsuit against me. I have
granted this worry-free state to some fourteen hundred
mahatmas. Ask me for anything. Whatever you ask, I will grant
you, but ask for something worthwhile. Ask for something that
will remain with you forever. Do not ask for any temporary
things. Ask for eternal bliss.
