Satsang Bhakta Leela Amrut by Das Ganu Maharaj

I have explained these four states to you. You must think over this.
Everything, living and non-living, is a form of the Lord. There is nothing
without Him. He is everywhere. Everything is filled with Him. Due to the
Illusion (Maya), we cannot understand his existence. You, Madhav, Maruti,
Pandharinath, Mhalasapati, Kashinath, Adkar,Haripant, Sathe, Tatya, Ganesh
Beray, Venu, Bhalchandra and I are the parts of the Lord. Therefore, no one
should hate anyone. One should not 'forget that the Lord is present in
even.' person. Knowing this, a person reaches the state of being devoid of
enmity. At this state, everything follows automatically. The human mind,
then, is unrestrained. One must try to stabilize it.

A fly sits on everything but when it sees fire, it moves away from its
direction. Similarly, the human mind is delighted with everything but at the
sight of Bramhan (Knowledge) it turns its face away. Oh Narayan, unless this
mind is united with the Bramhan, the cycle of birth and death cannot be
avoided. One must free oneself from this cycle in this human birth because
there is no better chance except in this birth. To stabilize the mind, one
must perform Idol Worship though an idol is not the God. When such worship
is performed, the mind is concentrated. Without the concentration of mind,
it cannot be stabilized. After this, one should read holy books and think
deeply and try to act accordingly.

Knowledge of the Soul (Self Realization) is the supreme amongst all the
sciences. It is like the Mount Meru amongst the mountains. When one masters
this knowledge, absolution walks to him and the Lord Hari becomes his slave.
Though the steps for climbing the ladder of this knowledge are difficult. I
will tell a simple way for you. Maruti Kaka, Haripant, Beray and other
devotees, too, should follow with you to achieve absolution. You must act
according to my advice which I gave you and Nimonkar in the past. Everybody
should surrender to the Lord and no one else. Have Siddha Darshan regularly
with good faith. Due to this merit you will be fully conscious at the time
of your death. At that time, with full concentration, think about the Lord
only. Think of your own Deity and meditate on Him. When your life ends in
this meditation, you will get absolution (Samipata Mukti). As Bannu from
Bodhegaon has recently achieved absolution, Adkar and Venu will also achieve
it by self realization.'
