Any Work Unrelated to Prabhu is an Obstacle (Prabhuna Nimit Vagarnu Karya Baadhak Che):
Shri Mahaprabhuji had arrived in Gujarat (Shri Mahaprabhuji Gujarat padhaarya hataa); at that time a Samdaas from VadGaam asked a question.. if a bhagvadiya remains engrossed in vyahvaar (samsaar/relations/socialising,etc), and due to this, unlimited apraadhs fall upon him/her, then would these apraadhs create obstacles (in the spiritual path/progress) or not ? The Shri Mahaprabhuji said that the topclass (uttam) Bhavadiya is that who does vyahvaar and does it all for the enjoyment of God (Bhagvad Bhog ne maate kare che), therefore nothing creates any obstacles. He gave an insight into this comment (tenu dhrastant kahyu ke), that the way in which Ghee is used in large amounts in Mahaprasaad, but never touches the tongue. Those who do vyahvaar without having Shri Prabhu as a nimit, inbetween/relation, to them vyahvaar creats obstacles., the way in which a plate (patra) becomes sticky when ghee falls on it. Deele laage to te chiknu thay (becomes sticky); in that way, anyone who does any work without having Prabhu as the cause/nimit, that becomes (cause for) obstacles
Vivechan - Truly, the household life/relations of Pushti-Bhagvadiyas is filled with devotion; therefore it is not the cause of obstacles; but instead it is aidful/helpful. If one does vyahvaar without having Prabhu as in-between then that becomes obstacle. For a bhakt, all vyahvaar takes on the form of sacrifice. for a devotee, even all work done is in the spirit of performing sacrifice (bhaktnu to darek karya pan yagnya-may che), not an obstacle.
