Haripriya.

Jay Jay Shree Gokulesh,

In Siddhanta-muktavali, Shri Vallabhacharya has described two categories refering to the stage of devotee,

1) Phalarupa Manasi Seva. ( in volunteery )

2) Sadhanarupa / Tanu-vittaja ( volunteery )

Phalarupa Manasi seva:->

When the devotee is completely attached to Shri Krishna with profound affection and without a least deviation of mind, the service in such state is called " Phala rupa Seva." the service in the state of maturity or service in the form of fruit. It is also known as Manasi Seva.

Sadhanrupa/ Tanu-vittaja Seva:->

Sadhana means an instrument. the service which is under instrumental stage is called "Sadhana rupa Seva." It is also known as ' Tanu-vittaja Seva ' .Tanu - means body and vitta - means wealth. The service that is performed with one's own bidy, one's own wealth and one's own house is called Tanu-vittaja Seva. This is called  " instrumental " because in the begining application of mind and intensity of love remains at a low leval.

SADHAN KE BINA PHALA NAHI HAIN. ( Shree  Achyut Daasji is apavad - exception ) . That's why Shri Mahaprabhuji ne Siddhant Muktavali ki Rachana Ki hain.

Shree Purusottamji writes,,

If worship is performed as instructed by Shri Krishna, then only a devotee can reach the higher stage of service ( Manasi Seva ) from the stage of instrumental service ( Sadhana rupa Tanu-vittaja Seva ).

One should never give anything to any body or receive from anybody in the name of the service of God. Every faithful devotee of Pushti sect should enshrine Shri Krishna in one's oen home and should perform worship through one's own body and wealth. Only this is the truthful Service. ( Jo Aaj Kisi ko Pasand Nahi Hain.) 

Shree Shyamu bavashri na Shabdo ma :

Nishtha thi Vallabh ni vaani Anusarata , Bahirmukh kaho cho to Teva re.......

Potaana Tan thi ne Potaana Dhan thi Gruh ma karvi che Krushna Seva re ....

Ame eva re..........Ame eva re..............

Jay Jay Shree Gokulesh.

Jai jai shri gokulesh

Vrajdhuleji, You are absolutely correct. From the stage of instrumental service a devotee can reach the higher stage of service. As we know that in the instrumental stage application of mind and intensity of love remains at a low level.

And there is a no specific method of doing Manasi seva. It can be possible even today but if there is a grace of thakoreji.

Note: At present stage the people have taken a misconcept that Manasi seva is Meditation which is not at all true. Manasi seva is like doing seva and suddenly attached in the sport of thakoreji.

Please feel free to correct if i'm some where wrong.

Jai Jai Shree Gokulesh,

Exactly, Unnati I want to discuss on this….
(Note: At present stage the people have taken a misconcept that Manasi seva is Meditation which is not at all true.-By Unnati)
Someone met me and explained the way of mansi sewa he or she is doing. Ameto mansi kariye, ghano anand avechhe, Prabhuto bhavna bhukhya chhe etc… Ankho bandh karine vichharvanuke Prabhune mangla avya,..…shayan karavya. Ato param fal chhe.

Kya mansi is this? So easy? No, not at all.
Umangbhai and Unnati explained very well the way by which mansi can be obtained. Now, shall we discuss further for the stage of mansi, with examples of 84/252 vaisnav’s vaarta? There is a vast difference between Manthi ane Mansi.

Haripriya.

Jai Shree Krishna

Very very true. Mansi seva is neither meditation nor manthi karvani seva.

Transition to Mansi seva takes place on its own, and is in fact a meta phyisical state.  It is definetly possible to achieve such a stage even today, provided one truely and steadfastedly follows Shree Mahaprabhujis agyaans, sticks to the principle of brahmasamband and over and above all, Shree Thakorjis anugraha.

Jai  Jai ShriGokulesh,

          Once King Askaran went in the battle field to fight against the enemies, who attacked his kingdom. But king Askaran was not much worried about the battle, It so happened that suddenly when he was travelling towards the battlefield, on horse back, his clothes got wet, due to dropped of Curry. He was serving his thakurji in his palace, but now he is in battle field, so still his mind was with shrithakurji, and it was the time of rajbhog, and was riding on horseback, so horse little jumped , then the tapeli of curry fell on his clothes, All In MANSI, but in real also wetted the clothes of Raja  Askaran......

     This is the manasi seva, Manasi seva is not the seperate seva, but it is the stage of seva, which we also call as vyasan avastha. In which ever situation, in whatever work, only dream for his/her maalik shrithakurji. And nothing else.........

Jai Jai Shree Gokulesh,

Shri Gunsaiji gave agna to do sewa(Tanuvittaja) of Shri Thakorji to Raja.Then he reached at the stage of mansi.Once at the time of mangla, Raja injured but no any pain he felt, as soon as he came out from sewa  he came to know about. I think the body adopts a stage of aksharatmak. In mansi one is always with his/her Shri prabhu and experiences the leela of Prabhu. Here first Tanuvittaja then mansi.

Again in vaarta prasang 222/252, Shri Gunsaiji showed the mansi sewa prakar to that vaisnav. Then Prabhu gave him sakshat darshan, anubhav. He went to Shri Gunsaiji and asked for Thakurji’s sewa. Here first mansi then Tanuvittaja.

 The vaarta prasangs are to understand the vaishnav pranali and mahaprabhuji’s maarg but one can not make conclusion from vaarta as sidhhant. My Shri Gurudev says “Kaan(ears) aab inki kahani sunyo kare…” We should never make any mistake to compare us with those bhagvadiyas.

Haripriya.

jai jai shri gokulesh

Gopalbhai and Haripriyaji, thankyou for refreshing this incident. The last line is absolutely worth. Would like to know some other Varta related to Manasi seva. Can we?

Well Can anyone share the story of Gajjadhawan Kshatriya 13/84 Vaishnav Varta.

   One of the Prachin Aacharya of Shasth Gruh ShriGiridharji Maharaj  ( Samvat 1849) who is the 10th Ascendent of ShriMahaprabhuji. Aapshri had written a granth named "SUDDHADWAIT MARTAND" This granth shows us many useful pathways of pushtimarg, which ShriMahaprabhuji had given orders. In the context of the Manasi, ShriGiridharji Maharajshri quotes the below aagyna

"Chetastpravanam Seva Phalroopa Tu Manasi ||

Tatsidhhyarthe Deh-Vittajani Karya Tato Bhavet ||83||

           Very Beautiful Aagyna. Says that Chitt getting pravan-engaged in Bhagwan is called the Seva. Here Manasi is the Phalroopa and to reach Manasi seva is to be done by Saadhan Seva i.e. Deh-Vittajani (TanuVittaja), by own body and own money.
