Gadhada Last Section Vach. 36 Vachanamrut Rahasyarth Pradeepika Tika

Shreejimaharaj asked all the paramhansas and disciples a question, “What is the extraordinary spiritual means for a soul to attain salvation by which, it is definitely attained without any hindrance? Also, what is the spiritual means through which a major hindrance does arise, and leads to a fall from the path of salvation?” Everyone then tried to answer the question in accordance with their own intellect, but the question remained unanswered. So Shreejimaharaj explained, “The extraordinary spiritual means of attaining salvation comprises of understanding that Lord Purushottam eternally presides as a divine, sakar Murti amongst a mass of Brahm-jyoti and that all the incarnations originate from Him. With such an understanding, one should sincerely take the patronage of that pratyaksh God; perform devotion to Him whilst abiding by the religious decree; and associate with a sadhu who has such devotion. This is the extraordinary means of attaining salvation. Through this, no hindrances arise.
