God’s pleasure is divine. The Gopis thought that they had misunderstood Lord Shree Krishna. Lord Shiva, Brahma, Indra and other deities act in accordance to the will of Lord Shree Krishna. They are devotees of Shree Krishna.
Gooddess Saraswati sings the eternal praises of Lord Shree Krishna. God is free from desire and acts like an ocean of everlasting pleasure and happiness. The Gopis are like wells, lakes and rivers; they are full of the nectar of life. They have ignored their joy and never gave any pleasure to Shree Krishna. The Gopis were sad because of this. They pained in their heart when they remembered their rudeness towards Shree Krishna.
God should be supreme and the world should be lesser
Shree Sweaminarayan Bhagwan says in the Vachanamrits, ‘O Devotees! You are my own and therefore nothing will be left unattended for your perfection.” There shall be complete perfection - nothing less. Shreeji Maharaj says: “You are my own.” We all should confess to this fact - this truth. Do we not belong to Swaminarayan Bhagwan? Don’t forget this truth. It is good to belong to the Lord.
Those who have surrendered to God are the happiest. Take this as words of wisdom. A bandmaster receives feast meals like an honoured guest, because he is part of a marriage party accompanying the groom. Maybe, you don’t belong to God, but if you are in the holy fellowship with fellow Satsangis, you will be treated like them to receive everlasting pleasure. Lord Shreeji Maharaj has assured us fullness of life because we belonged to him.
The Swaminarayan Sampradaya is not a talkative sect. This sect believes in action. Words are translated into action. Whatever we preach to others should reflect fully in our action and life. Katha-Satsang will not benefit you, if they are not implemented into your life.
Listen to the discourses and apply it into your life. God should be supreme and the world should be insignificant in our life as a householder. The world and the worldly ways were inconsequential for the Gopis.
