In what Vachnamarut does Maharaj answer the question of "How can we improve following our niyam dharma and practicing Satsang in real time?" (Double points for reciting the Vachanamrut)

                                                                       

 In Vachanamrut Gadhada I-15, Maharaj talked about determination in beholding Bhagwanʼs form in oneʼs heart. As this is not an easy task, He explained the characteristics of an ideal devotee, “Furthermore, such a person remains determined to behold Bhagwanʼs form in his heart. If, while meditating on that form, it cannot be beheld, he does not lose courage. Instead, he constantly maintains renewed shraddhā.” He continued to say, “Even if this process takes 10 years, 20 years, 25 years, or even 100 years, he still does not become discouraged; and never does he abandon his attempts at beholding Bhagwanʼs form. Learning from this, we see that nothing can be done overnight. We need to be perseverant and continue trying no matter what obstacles come our way.
