492 Aptavani-2
verily is the Supreme Self, in the awakened awareness( Gnan jagruti) as the Self, is the highest and the final bhakti of all the bhaktis. But‘ we’ do not label this as‘ bhakti’ because everyone would take it down to their own gross interpretation. It is worth acquiring the blessings of the Gnani Purush. All one needs is the grace of the Gnani Purush( krupabhakti).
In the Gnanis( mahatmas), the pratishthit atma or the relative self is in bhakti and Gnan is in‘ Gnan’. The Self remains as the Self, and one makes the relative self( pratishthit atma, the awakened self here)‘ do’ the bhakti of the‘ Shuddhatma’ and‘ Dada Bhagwan’. This is the highest bhakti.
The Lord Himself has said,“ I will‘ do’ what the Gnani wants.” The devotees say,“ The Lord is pleased with us and will follow our wishes.” However, the Lord says,“ No I submit to the Gnani.” Devotees are considered crazy, if they are out buying vegetables, there is no telling where they will stop to do bhajan and sing hymns. Nevertheless, there is one good attribute in devotees. Their intent lies only in God and this intent will some day help them attain the real thing( the Self) when they meet a Gnani Purush. Until then they will keep singing,“ Thou art, Thou art( Tu hi Tu hi).’ Once they meet a Gnani Purush, they will start singing,“ I only, I only( Hu hi, Hu hi)”. As long as you and‘ I’ are separate, there is maya( illusion) and when the distance and division between us vanishes, oneness arises( abhedta) when the‘ mine-yours’ vanishes. The Lord says,“ You too are God, and hold on to your Godhood. Alas! What can I do if you do not take care of the Godhood?’ If a young man who has inherited millions, goes to work as a dishwasher, and does not manage his money what can anyone do? Only a human being can become God and the supreme God, not anyone else, not even the Devas i. e. the celestial beings.
What is meant by God( Bhagwan)? Is God a name or an adjective? If it were a name, then you would have to call him
