The importance of seva in achieving salvation
 

Everyone has priority to take care of their body. But have we ever thought what we need to do for our soul? The ways to elevate our soul is to do prayer and chanting. If one follows the command of a Gunatit saint and just does very measley seva, their shortcommings of 100 births will be removed in this very birth in comparison to those who seva for their own satisfaction or desire no matter how big the seva. The one who does seva with the command of a Gunatit saint gets 100% points and the one who sees negative aspect of others whilst doing that seva gets 0%

 In Vachnamrut Gadhada Middle 7, Maharaj talks about ways to remove our swabhav:

• Do extreme seva of Gunatit saints
• Meditate on Purushottam Narayan
• Follow the wishes of manifest Gunatit saints

We have to take care of our body and our soul. We are where our mind is and our prarabdha (fruits of our deeds) is where our body is.

Yoga will make us balanced and help us focus on God and this will transform us. Kakaji did loud chanting so that our mind would not have any other thoughts. Even if it means to forcefully engage our mind in the lotus feet of our master we must do it.

We are graced to have this warehouse to do all our activities. Maharaj has given and blessed us with open hands. I met Parikshitbhai who made this place available (in the US). He got 150% points. A satpurush might not praise him but he has won their heart and he is in satpurush's list. So many devotees who walked here, the dust from feet has graced this place.

We are so fortunate that Maharaj came down on this earth and he opened this highway for us. We are so fortunate that we have Dinkaruncle. Imagine how deep he must have dived into Kakaji to be able to sit here. He keeps us detached in the midst of these worldly things. We do not have to renounce or become a sadhu to achieve salvation. We must not miss any opportunity to do seva.
