1. Regarding the form of the God: (Bhagwadswaroop)

Nishtha-upasana of one and only one Lord Swaminarayan should be solidified that Swaminarayan is the supreme God and incarnate or (avatari) of all incarnations. The cause of all the causes, one and only one eternal God. One should solidify devotion towards Lord Swaminarayan like the chaste wife towards her husband. One should not have affection or conviction of deity-incarnation of God except Lord Swaminarayan.

2. Regarding the form of one’s true self: (Atmaswaroop Sambandhi)

To connect with the form of Lord Swaminarayan by meditation, one should consider one’s soul absolutely separate from the body and do all activities during the day with conception of being Anadimukta, dwelling in Murti. This is the excellent technic (latak) which must be followed.

3. Regarding Goal form: (Dhyey Swaroop Sambandhi)

The form of one and only one eternal God Swaminarayan, to whom we have to be identical should be visualized in meditation. We should not meditate on any other incarnation of God, person, Guru, Acharya or Satpurush. Meditate on one and only one form always in definite shape Lord Swaminarayan.

4. Regarding karan satsang : (Karan Satsang Sambandhi.)

Practitioners of meditation must have clarity of karya (activities) and karan. Sants, Acharya, temple, festivities, samaiya all these are activities (karya) and karan (cause) is only one Murti of Lord Swaminarayan. As such, there should not be predominance of any activities (means) but there should be predominance only of karan Murti Lord Swaminarayan. After accepting karan satsang, aspirant should take vows through Anadimukta-Satpurush and once the vows are taken through satpurush, the aspirant should consider himself entirely fulfilled with regard to attainment trusting that I have been transformed into Anadimukta and certainly kept in the Murti and thereby accomplished ultimate salvation.

5. Regarding happiness – bliss: (Sukh Sambandhi.)

There are two types of happiness: worldly happiness and transcendental happiness. Worldly happiness is ephemeral and momentary. Therefore, it is not true happiness but merely an illusion of happiness. For this reason, one should not strive for worldly happiness because it is dependent on material possessions and wealth, which eventually dissipate and do not bring lasting fulfillment.

The happiness derived from the murti of Bhagwan Swaminarayan is transcendental happiness. This happiness is eternal and everlasting. It is the true and real happiness. Contemplate and prioritize this happiness day and night. When the value of this happiness is truly understood, all other worldly pleasures become insignificant, and their pursuit loses its significance.

• It is essential to clearly understand the distinction between physical (bhautik) and transcendental (abhautik) happiness for meditation. Physical happiness, such as cars, houses, wealth, and relationships, is fleeting and impermanent. On the other hand, the happiness derived from the form of Bhagwan Swaminarayan is transcendental, eternal, and indestructible.
• To attain transient happiness, one should not approach God with desires. The eternal happiness found in the murti of Swaminarayan Bhagwan should be desired and pursued through efforts meant for that purpose alone. This is known as a selfless devotee. Such a person remains selfless and steadfast.
• To forsake transient pleasures derived from the five senses, householders and renunciants alike adopt self-discipline according to their respective stages of life. Thus, they can become worthy of enjoying the happiness found in the murti alone.

6. Regarding worthiness: (Patrata Sambandhi)

To attain the happiness of Bhagwan, the aspirant who desires it must necessarily renounce the desire for impermanent physical pleasures. It is essential to hunger and yearn (to become a mumukshu).

• For meditation, it is compulsory to cultivate worthiness for becoming purushottamroop. For that practice of pratilom meditation, regularly every day is compulsory.
• We can experience bliss in meditation only by the grace of Maharaj and Motapurush. Thus, considering the predominance of grace, it is compulsory to try personally practice meditation.

7. Regarding satpurush : (Satpurush sathe atmabuddhi)

In meditation, understanding the union of the soul and the Supreme Soul, fostering intimacy, Anadimukta Satpurush is essential. Once this glory is understood, it is imperative to connect with Satpurush by soul, cultivate unwavering love, and develop Atmabudhhi with Him. One cannot advance even a single step on this path without the inner rajipo (blessings) of such a Satpurush.

• Satputush elucidated clear concept of karan satsang and knowledge of parbhav and gave me blessing/promise of having been kept in Murti definitely after my transformation into Anadimukta made by Lord Swaminarayan. Countless Anadimukta become chirpy while enjoying the bliss of Murti. One should have excessive trust in such blessing and the knowledge of parbhav.
• Grace of Satpurush is compulsory along with study of meditation, because only His grace, transform the soul into Anadimukta and bestow enjoyment of bliss of luminous Murti, without which, only by spiritual endeavor enjoyment of bliss of Murti is impossible. Addition of grace to spiritual endeavor is a must. As such, during day-to-day life we should be needy of His pleasure and for that we should lead the life of His liking.
