For those who have the conviction of the manifest God, to have divine vision is to:   Realise that at this very moment we are living in Akshardham.   We are not in our place of dwelling or place of work, we are not in our town or city, we are not in England or India, we are not even

Nirdosh buddhi is the divine acceptance that God is the all-inspirer and all-doer. It is not looking at the faults of others, criticising or gossiping.  

When we try to focus our minds on God we find that our minds are filled with thoughts of the day, activities that we need to do or problems that may be worrying us.

  In order to stay in God, when we have a free moment, we can: do dhun (chant the Swaminarayan mantra) do smruti (remember Guruhari) do antardrashti (introspect within)

As per Vachanamrut G I 1, to constantly engage the mind in God is the most difficult attainment. This type of bliss is seldom felt continuously. This is because we seek solace and refuge in things material rather than spiritual and we do not take the time to allow God to take his place in our consciousness. We seek escapism
