Gadhada I-62: Acquiring the Virtues of Satya, Shauch, Etc.

Summary

1. One who develops rapport with God by having the perfect conviction of God:

1. Acquires the redemptive virtues of God.
2. Becomes extremely capable and unattached just like God.

2. That perfect conviction should be like this:

1. He realises that God is not like kāl, karma, swabhāv, māyā, or Purush [an aksharmukta involved in creation of countless brahmānds].
2. He realises God to be distinct from everything, their controller and cause; yet, despite being their cause, He is beyond their influence.
3. Even if he hears misleading scriptures or talks of misleading philosophers, or if his own antahkaran raises doubts within himself, his conviction of God never wavers.

3. A demonic jiva:

1. Will still not forsake his own swabhāvs even if he comes into contact with God.
2. Suffers severely because he spites devotees of God.

4. The dharma of humble devotees of God:

1. He does not retain the slightest arrogance due to remaining fearful of God.
2. He does not pain even the smallest of being, such as an ant.
3. He behaves meekly.
