Believe oneself to be brahmarup. If one does not do this today, then when the body perishes one will have to do so. But as long as the body is believed as the self, how will ego and other faults be overcome? Therefore, do not believe oneself to be this body. That is Shriji Maharaj’s principle. And there are many types of people; explain to them as per their understanding. Consider this at least once a day. Maharaj told Gopal Swami, “For those who do not have an upāsanā, their situation is different. But we have an upāsanā and we want to do this for it. Therefore it is necessary to think of the ātmā.
