Merger (from Upanishads)
A spiritual discourse using a bhajan's metaphor to explain the search for truth.
"Many days I was wandering here and there as a young girl. That girl is your śruta, your consciousness, or your cittavṛttis."
"But finally I found Śrī Devpurījī, my beloved one, unborn, immortal. And so my śruti played in his divine light and merged into one indeed."
The speaker interprets a bhajan by Mahāprabhujī, where the "wandering girl" symbolizes the restless human consciousness seeking a true master or god. The discourse explains the concept of a true, indissoluble spiritual union or "marriage" with the divine, contrasting it with fleeting worldly attachments. It culminates in the description of the eternal, unshakable seat (acal gadī) of the Satya Sanātana Dharma.
