Shloka : 113

तस्यैव सर्वथा भक्ति: कर्तव्या मनुजैर्भुवि ।

नि:श्रेयसकरं किचित्ततोऽन्यन्नेति दृश्यताम् ॥ 113 ॥

અને એવા જે તે શ્રીકૃષ્ણભગવાન તેની જે ભક્તિ તે જે તે, પૃથ્વીને વિષે સર્વ મનુષ્ય તેમણે કરવી. અને તે ભક્તિથકી બીજું કલ્યાણકારી સાધન કાંઈ નથી - એમ જાણવું. ॥ 113 ॥

And such Shri Krishna Bhagwan should be worshipped by all the humans on this Earth. And there is no other means leading towards salvation other than such devotion. || 113 ||

Commentary

In this Shloka Shri Hari says: I, Anadi Krishna Shri Swaminarayan Bhagwan, should be worshipped by all the human beings on this Earth.

Here, by the term 'Earth', Bharatkhand should be considered specifically. Among that also, the places, where Supreme God Shri Swaminarayan Mahaprabhu has interacted playfully with His saints and devotees, should be considered the best and pious. And humans have been adviced to worship, because sexual enjoyments etc., pleasure of the senses are available everywhere even to the animals etc. forms of life; but 'salvation' could be attained only through human body. This is the significance of human body. But if devotion is without observance of religious code of conduct, then that person is equivalent to an animal. And the people, who worship alongwith proper code of conduct and pull back their attention from the objects of senses to concentrate on the divine form of Supreme God, enjoy the bliss of the unity with the divine form of God.Therefore, devotion should be performed through mind, speech and body and one should remain immersed in the divine form of God by uniting the soul with luminous form of Shriji. Because there is no other means better than the devotion which can lead towards salvation.

All the efforts as big as Meru mountain, performed without such devotion to please Shri Sahajanand Swami Mahaprabhu, can result into a very insignificant reward, as small as an atom And the smallest effort performed with devotion to please Shri Harikrishna Mahaprabhu can result into a reward as good as Chintamani. For that reason, the means to please Shriji Maharaj which are Dharma i.e. religion, Gyan i.e. knowledge, Vairagya i.e. ascetism etc. and the absolute devotion alongwith the knowledge of the glory of God, should be firmly practiced. This is the only way to please Shri Hari.
