¹The power of God is remembered because of His acts. ²His act is to purify the impure.

³Om shanti.

⁴Everyone remembers the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul but we now remember Him whilst knowing Him.

⁵On the path of bhakti, they understand that He is Janijananhar, the Almighty Authority.

⁶However, it is now that we have understood from Him how He is Janijananhar.

⁷On the path of bhakti they simply have faith in God: they believe that God made them sit down or stand up or that God fed them, or that God has given them everything, and that without God not even one leaf can move.

⁸Whatever happens is happening according to Him.

⁹But are these His acts, and is this the form of His unlimitedness and His power?

¹⁰This is not accurate knowledge.

¹¹We now have enlightenment.

¹²This is not a question of God's greatness.

¹³If the leaves moved according to His orders, then thieves would be stealing according to His power.

¹⁴God's power or greatness has nothing to do with this.

¹⁵Otherwise, it would be because of His power that bad actions are taking place and that things that should not be happening are also taking place.

¹⁶So why should you think that this is God's power?

¹⁷This is not God's power.

¹⁸This is the power of the soul.

¹⁹Whatever actions human beings perform, the soul has that understanding because it is living.

²⁰God's power is remembered because of His acts.

²¹Many think that when a tree grows that is also God's power.

²²No, everything has to increase and decrease.

²³Each thing has its own living energy.

²⁴The power of human beings is also remembered.

²⁵They say that Gandhiji had power so that he was able to carry out such a huge task.

²⁶He did all this by going on hunger strikes and he used to consider this to be non-violence.

²⁷However, non-violence is not this.

²⁸Gandhiji made Bharat free.

²⁹He was considered to be powerful because of his actions.

³⁰So what is God's power?

³¹Does God know about everything that is happening?

³²If so, then He would know everything and yet those bad things would still be happening.

³³If a murderer has the thought of murdering someone, then what is the greatness of God's power?

³⁴They say God knows everything but what is the benefit of Him knowing everything?

³⁵If God were to know everything and yet wrong actions continued then what is God's greatness?

³⁶His praise is based on His acts.

³⁷He knows the philosophy of all our actions.

³⁸It isn't that He only knows this when we perform actions. ³⁹He knows it in advance.

⁴⁰However, God's acts are praised when He gives us the benefit of knowing Him.

⁴¹He gives us the knowledge of how we come into this cycle.

⁴²He is the Director and the Creator. ⁴³He has the entire knowledge.

⁴⁴His praise is based on His acts.

⁴⁵God knows everything.

⁴⁶We souls take rebirth and so we forget everything.

⁴⁷The entire drama is in His focus.

⁴⁸He also knows what happened in the past.

⁴⁹But what is the benefit in that?

⁵⁰He uplifts us when we had fallen. ⁵¹He makes us pure from impure. ⁵²This is His power.

⁵³They simply think that if they become impure it is through His power and that if they become pure, that, too, happens through His power.

⁵⁴If we became impure through His power then what would be the benefit in that?

⁵⁵All these things are now in the intellect.

⁵⁶God's power is based on His acts.

⁵⁷He gives us enlightenment. ⁵⁸You were so pure, then how did you become impure?

⁵⁹He also explains what we should do in order to become pure.

⁶⁰He is the Bestower of Happiness.

⁶¹It isn't that He only knows about happiness and sorrow.

⁶²It is the duty of the Bestower to grant happiness if He is the Bestower of Happiness.

⁶³So what is the reason that we experience sorrow?

⁶⁴We know about all these things.

⁶⁵God's greatness is praised because of what He does.

⁶⁶His actions on the earth are the greatest of all and He does them for human beings, and this is why He is praised.

⁶⁷It is no greatness to say that God inspires everything.

⁶⁸His greatness is that He has done something for everyone.

⁶⁹He has made the human world happy.

⁷⁰He has made the entire world, the elements and the total creation, satopradhan. ⁷¹This is why He is praised.

⁷²But if He were considered to be an Authority just because He could read our thoughts, then He also would have known what our thoughts were ten years ago.

⁷³This is not His greatness.

⁷⁴So you have to understand God's praise.

⁷⁵Achcha.
