One day, Swami talked to a Vedanti scholar. “Those who describe and know the form of God as formless and misinterpret the scriptures will, for countless births – for ten thousand years in Treta-yug; for a thousand years in Dwapar-yug and for a hundred years in Kali-yug – not even be able to cry with relief when they are cut out from the womb.1 In this way, they will endlessly suffer miseries for an infinite period of time, but they will not get any happiness.” “Bhagwan Swaminarayan came on this earth and established five pillars. Show that rejecting them will benefit the jiva? (It will not benefit the jiva.) What are the five pillars? Nishkām, nirlobh, nissvād, nissneh and nirmān. Nobody is capable of uprooting these five. Just as nobody could move the leg planted by Angad2 in Ravan’s assembly, similarly, the pillars which have been established by him cannot be uprooted by anyone.” Footnotes: 1. 1. Sinful jivas will suffer tremendously at birth. 2. To reach a peaceful settlement with Ravan and secure the release of Sita, Ram sent Angad, the son of Vali, to negotiate. Angad stood in Ravan’s assembly hall and challenged, “If anyone can move my leg, even slightly, then believe that Ram has lost Sita.” All of Ravan’s men tried, but nobody could move his leg.
