Respectful feelings arising from the collection of Gadasti is also a seed, and it is a big deal. The feeling of being worthy of being taught, that is, the story of the seed is also worthy of listening to the seed, such respectful thoughts arising are also commendable. Respectful feelings arising towards listening to the stories of Jinbhakti or the glory of Sadguru-Satushashtra is also a seed, because when such a feeling of being worthy of being taught arises from the color of emotion, then true desire arises from the feeling, and then it prevails in its acceptance by considering the power of the father.
This feeling of being worthy of being taught should be pure and completely pure. That is, it should be without any kind of desire for fruit related to this lake-pearl, without any desire for quick fruit attainment, it should be selfless. Because patience is the first need in all work. "Mango leaves do not come quickly." And the fruit of such a selfless, pure feeling of being worthy of being taught is also very great, it is the cause of great progress. Because it is the means of liberation, so it is not surprising that the attainment of excellent devadi motion, which is the fruit of the acquisition of merit, is also achieved along with it. Just as there are supports behind the jar, so Indrahood-Chakravattihood, etc., are obtained as the incidental fruit of the means of liberation. Thus, this feeling of being worthy of being taught towards listening to the seed ultimately becomes beneficial, then how much more beneficial is the devotion to Shri Satpurush, Sadguru, and the righteous path they have laid down?
"O Lord, your virtues are infinite! I bow to the infinite virtues, O Lord! I adore the infinite Lord; O Lord, Devchandra! I rejoice in Devchandra, O Lord! I desire the supreme great good." "May pure essence-interest become the red of the mind, O Lord. Do Jinpati devotion, O Lord, the red of the future. You will attain the position of Devchandra...mind. Supreme great good tactics, O Lord, the future." Shri Devchandraji
