Vaat 1.59
Swamini Vato Prakaran 1 Vaat 59 · 1 · Verse 59
Sanskrit Original
‘Brahmarūp mānīne bhakti karavī’ e ja siddhānt chhe, te jem ghaṇā māṇas vaṭale ne ek jaṇ nātmā rahe paṇ tene em samajavu je, ‘Hu vaṭalyo nathī,’ tem brahmarūp mānvānī samajaṇ chhe.
The main principle is to worship God identifying oneself as brahmarup. This is similar to many people being proselytized; and one who is not believes he has not been proselytized. This is the understanding of believing oneself to be brahmarup.1 Footnotes: 1. 1. In this example, Swami explains that many people behave as the body. Despite their ātmā being immortal and a source of bliss, they believe themselves to be the body and enjoy the temporary happiness of the body. This is analogous to someone being proselytized - meaning one has been proselytized into a community of those who believe themselves to be the body. However, one who has not been proselytized believes his true self to be the ātmā. The community of those who believe themselves to be brahmarup may be small but this is the true community.
