explain one prasang of positivity from our Guru parampara regarding the establishment of BAPS sanstha.
The foundation of our sanstha is based on positive thoughts. The consequences of Shastriji Maharaj installing the murtis of Akshar and Purushottam in Wadhwan were unthinkable; dissenters tried to do away with him. Despite such attempts, Shastriji Maharaj had no ill thoughts towards others. To spread the true Akshar Purushottam upasana, Shastriji Maharaj left Vartal. He left Vartal with five sadhus and a few hundred followers. Yet, amazingly, only eight months later, he constructed the first mandir in Bochasan (hence the Bochasanwasi in BAPS). It was Shastriji Maharaj’s persistent belief that he will be able to expound the true belief that led to the construction of the first mandir. He held the belief constant – he will be able to spread the true upasana.

In Sãrangpur-2, Shriji Mahãrãj mentions what a devotee should and should not do when savouring the murtis of Bhagwãn. explain three attributes.
-Darshan should be performed with an “attentive mind and concentrated vision.” - To not become distracted by other people. So, if we bump into a friend, we should greet him after we are properly done doing darshan. - To savour the murtis as if it were your first time seeing them, infused with immense divyabhav (divine perception) and mahima. - Closing one’s eyes every few moments and internalizing the murti of God through using the mind to visualize. This helps us later with the other steps. - Having such concentration will automatically make each darshan into a novel and blissful experience. - Engage the other sense also. Do not let the ears wander to other talks happening around you when doing darshan. Reprimand your mind when
