## The Collection of Gadasti
“Oh Lord, the world is a poison, the living beings are tormented by it; Oh Lord, consider them as the treasure of nectar.” – Shri Devchandraji. “The fire of the world’s suffering, the wind that removes the dust of delusion; I bow down to the one who is free from the attachments of Maya.” – Shri Haribhadracharya.
Or (6) If a human being has been poisoned by the bite of a great venomous snake and has fallen unconscious, what kind of Garuda mantra will remove the poison and bring him back to life? How much love will he have for that poison-remover? Then, this living being was poisoned by the poison of Mithyatva (false belief) from the bite of the great venomous snake of Mahamaha. Therefore, this living being forgot his true nature and became unconscious. The great Guru, who is like the supreme mantra, removed the poison of Mithyatva with the help of the mantra of Samyakdarshan (right vision), which illuminates the true nature of the soul, and brought him back to the awareness of his true self. He showered the nectar of Samyaktv (right conduct) and gave him rebirth in the form of liberation. How can the love of this seeker not expand towards the supreme nectar-like Shrimad Sadguru Bhagwan, like a drop of water in oil?
“Oh Lord, Mithyatva is the poison of delusion; Oh Lord, the mantra of liberation is playing in my mind.” – Shri Devchandraji.
Thus, because of the unparalleled favor, the seeker feels immense love towards Shrimad Sadguru Bhagwan. Not only that, but Shrimad Sadguru is such that any true devotee, who is attracted to his supreme qualities, cannot help but feel a natural love for him. Because, when we think about the nature of Shrimad Sadguru, his nature is the same as the nature of the Guru, or “Sadguru” is his nature. In other words, the Guru is his nature in all “Sat” (true) things. Because, the Guru is heavier and more glorious than the entire world. If we put the entire world on one side and the Sadguru on the other, the side of the Sadguru will weigh down. Therefore, Shri Sadguru is the Jagadguru (world teacher). Or, the Sat-Sant (true saint) is his nature. In other words, just as the nature of the soul is, his nature is Sat, true, pure, existing in the present, in the form of ten qualities. It is the nature of the Sant, the nature of the Sadhu. Or, “Sant” means the one who is peaceful, who has given up all his running around for the objects of enjoyment and has found peace in his own nature and attained supreme peace of the soul. He is the peaceful “Sant”.
“Falling, falling at your lotus feet, I ask for the same again and again; You are the form of the Sadguru Sant, make this firm in my mind.” – Shrimad Rajchandraji.
