Premanand Maharaj said to Anushka- If you chant the name Radha with heart, God will meet.
Maharaj said- With the grace of God, the thinking inside will change Premanand Maharaj said- It is not blessed to get splendor. This is virtue. The grace of God is to change the thinking inside. This consumes the rites of your infinite births and the next birth is very good.
When God blesses, saints give a gathering. When the second grace is, they give the opposite and then give a way from inside. This is not the way of peace. God gives those ways and calls the creature to himself. The raga of the world is not destroyed without adversity.
All the great men who have become, everyone saw adverseness Maharaj said- God did not keep any medicine to free this world without adversity. As many great men have been there till date, whose life has changed, they have to see adversity. If sometimes adversity comes, then you should be happy that God is being blessed on me now. I am getting inspiration to walk in Satmarg.
Maharaj said- If our last breath, then I will get the attainment of Shreeji, God.
