Shloka : 101 - 102

एतेषु यानि वाक्यानि श्रीकृष्णस्य वृषस्य च ।

अत्युत्कर्षपराणि स्युस्तथा भक्तिविरागयो: ॥ 101 ॥

અને એ સર્વે સચ્છાસ્ત્રને વિષે જે વચન તે જે તે, શ્રીકૃષ્ણભગવાનનું સ્વરૂપ, તથા ધર્મ, તથા ભક્તિ, તથા વૈરાગ્ય - એ ચારના અતિ ઉત્કર્ષપણાને કહેતાં હોય. ॥ 101 ॥

And the statements belonging to all these scriptures, which describe the supremacy of the luminous form, religion, devotion and ascetics of Shri Krishna Bhagwan. || 101 ||

मन्तव्यानि प्रधानानि तान्येवेतरवाक्यत: ।

धर्मेण सहिता कृष्णभक्ति: कार्येति तद्रह: ॥ 102 ॥

તે વચન જે તે બીજાં વચન કરતાં પ્રધાનપણે માનવાં. અને શ્રીકૃષ્ણભગવાનની ભક્તિ, તે જે તે, ધર્મે સહિત જ કરવી, એવી રીતે તે સર્વે સચ્છાસ્ત્રનું રહસ્ય છે. ॥ 102 ॥

Those statements should be given preference to the other statements. And Shri Krishna Bhagwan should be worshipped alongwith the proper code of conduct. This is the essence of all the scriptures. || 102 ||

Commentary

Shriji Maharaj may have mentioned some general and indirect statements for the welfare of all the living beings, but the statements, which have been spoken only for His absolute devotees, should be considered of greater importance. These statements are the main principles and direct teachings of Shri Hari.

The statements from Vachanamrit etc., which establish Shri Hari as God of Gods, cause of all the causes and supreme manifestation, should be considered to be of greater importance and the indirect statement with generalized meaning should be considered to be of secondary importance.

For example in Shikshapatri Shloka 98 and Shloka 117, it has been mentioned to consider the Dasham Skandh and the Pancham Skandh of Shrimad Bhagwat to be of more importance and should be studied and listened to regularly. These are secondary statements, whereas, Shri Hari has mentioned in Shikshapatri Shloka 208 and Shloka 209 to study, to listen to and to worship Shikshapatri. These statements should be considered to be of greater importance than that of Shikshaptri Shloka 98 and Shloka 117.

Moreover, Shri Hari has mentioned in 58th Vachanamrit of Gadhada Middle Chapter that the scriptures, describing the playful characteristics of one's own worshipping God, right from His manifestation till His willful disappearance, nourishes the sect. Therefore, the devotees of Shriji Maharaj should follow the scriptures written by Shriji Maharaj Himself and by His God-realized saints and should follow the statements related to Shriji Maharaj chiefly.
