Shloka : 96

स्वहितेच्छुभिरेतानि मच्छिश्यै: सकलैरपि ।

श्रोतव्यान्यथ पाठ्‌यानि कथनीयानि च द्विजै: ॥ 96 ॥

અને પોતાના હિતને ઇચ્છતા એવા જે અમારા સર્વે શિષ્ય તેમણે, એ આઠ સચ્છાસ્ત્ર જે તે સાંભળવાં અને અમારા આશ્રિત જે દ્વિજ તેમણે, એ સચ્છાસ્ત્ર જે તે ભણવાં તથા ભણાવવાં, તથા એમની કથા કરવી. ॥ 96 ॥

And all My disciples, aspiring for their welfare, should listen to the eight scriptures and My Brahmin devotees should study, teach and narrate these scriptures. || 96 ||

Commentary

The scriptures written by Shriji Maharaj and by this highly evolved Muktas should be preferred to the above mentioned eight scriptures, related to other incarnations. The scriptures, written by the saints of Shriji Maharaj, are more helpful to a seeker on the path of salvation, as they describe in detail the purpose of manifestation of Shriji Maharaj, His attributes and divine words throughout His presence in this world. His divine existence, His divinity, and His supremacy which establish Him as the Lord of all etc..

Moreover, the code of conduct, prescribed by Shri Hari, could be learnt only from the scriptures related to Shri Hari and not from the above mentioned eight scriptures related to other incarnations. Shri Hariji Himself has explained the secrets of His divine form etc. in Vachanamrit. Therefore, Vachanamrit, which consists of the direct teachings of Shriji Maharaj, should be considered to be superior to all the scriptures and should be followed with full faith.

Moreover, the characteristics of a devotee of Shriji Maharaj are faithfulness, devotion and complete surrender towards Shriji Maharaj as described by the scriptures like Vachanamrit etc. A faithful and devoted wife does not like to admire any man other than her husband, similarly a faithful, devoted and completely surrendered devotee of Shriji Maharaj enjoys to hear, read study and teach the scriptures related to only Shriji Maharaj and also likes to arrange the sessions for the narratives of Shriji Maharaj. Such devotees with absolute faith are considered to be completely devoted, absolute or supreme devotees. The devotees who lack such complete devotion are considered to be the ordinary devotees of lower category.
