Guess at least 4 out of the 9 key points that would be re-caped from the presentation on the "Mahima of the Satpurush.
1. We have prapti, but not realization – we   don’t   know   what   the greatness of the Satpurush is. 2. Not only have we attained the satpurush, but the best of the four kinds of satpurush as revealed by Maharaj in Vartal-3. The ultimate mahima of the satpurush is that God is present in him. 4. Maharaj goes extremely far in Gadhada I-37 to bestow 11 honors on the satpurush. 5. How the satpurush has value relative to our lives is seen in the necessity of the satpurush. 6. To perfect our gnan, and, in turn, our ekantik dharma, we need to realize the pragat form of God, meaning the satpurush. 7. The bhakti we perform of the satpurush, or the pragat form of God, is the best kind and can bring us peace of mind. 8. The satpurush is necessary for redemption from our vasana, as exemplified through the life of P.Tyagvallabh Swami. 9. Finally, as Maharaj has stated in Gadhada II-59, liberation is possible through only God or His Sant
