Abandoning the practice of poison, which is like the deadly poison Halahala, from afar, the seeker should practice only selfless devotion with a true understanding, and should tread the path of Amrita Anushthan, which transforms the soul into the form of nectar. Such pure devotion and other practices are the means to liberation. “The path of the nectar of the qualities of the Jinas… the means to the action of the nectar of the mind… the action of the nectar of the future… the mind becomes the nectar of the soul.” – Shri Devchandraji. “It is possible, O God, to remove the dust from the heart, to obtain the service of the Lord, the service is the first step, the fearless, the infinite. The fruit of worship is said to be the joy of the mind, the worship is unbroken, without deceit, the self becomes the treasure of joy.” – Shri Anandghanji.
Others, who are deluded and confused, believe that the service of the Lord is easy, beautiful, and convenient. “They think that by performing rituals, offerings, or making donations, the Lord is pleased! But the Lord is not so easily pleased, and His service is not easy, but very difficult; because until the “deceit of the heart” of the living being is gone, there will be no love with the Lord; therefore, the seeker should, as much as possible, abandon the pursuit of worldly things and should climb the ladder of pure contemplation of the devotion of the self-realized God, that is, the form of this God is the same as the form of this great soul. Thus, with pure conviction, all beings are equal to the liberated ones, but it happens as they understand it in the right way. And the cause of this happening is the command of the true Guru, the state of the Jinas, etc. But those who abandon this unparalleled cause by taking the name of the material cause, never attain liberation and remain in delusion.
“All beings are equal to the liberated ones, it happens as they understand it; the command of the true Guru, the state of the Jinas, are the causes. Those who abandon this cause by taking the name of the material cause, never attain liberation and remain in delusion.” – Shri Atmasiddhi.
Some people talk about the material cause without understanding, and unknowingly consider the cause to be secondary and make it a subject of debate. This is due to their misunderstanding, their false delusion; because the material cause and the cause are not contradictory or opposing, but are inseparable and cooperative. Awareness and purification of the material cause is certainly a duty, and the goal of pure devotion is also the same.
