Say the whole prasang of how Naja Jogia was able to understand the mahima of Gunatitanand Swami.
GHANSHYAMDAS
Aer the departure of Maharaj to Akshardham, Naja Jogia had become a sadhu and had been named Ghanshyamdas. He was impressed by Swamiʼs discourses in Vartal so he used to come to Junagadh to associate with Swami, but so far he had not been able to realize the true glory of Swami. Once, Ghanshyamdas was meditating in the assembly hall. Swami was sitting nearby. Aer some time Swami told him, “Are you meditating or just bungling?”.
“Swami, that is an unfair allegation,” said Ghanshyamdas as he awoke from meditation. Swami smiled in reply and said, “Were you meditating, or stroking the buffalo with a white spot in Gadhada?”Ghanshyamdas was stunned when he heard this. During his meditation he really had been stroking the buffalo in Gadhada; so he stood up humbly, touched Swamiʼs feet and said in an emotional tone, “Swami! In the inner recesses of my heart I was under the impression that you were merely like a chief but today I have realized that you are an emperor and the form of Maharaj incarnate. You really are Akshar.” Swami smiled and blessed him.
What analogy does Gunatitanand Swami use in the Swamini Vato when Acharya Maharaj asked about wanting peace in his heart?
The calf would be happy when it would attach itself to the udder of the cow, and would not derive happiness from any other portion of her body. Similarly, this satsang, murtis, scriptures, Acharya, etc. comprise the body of Maharaj, but the God-realized Sadhu is like the udder of the cow and therefore, eternal peace would come only if you attach yourself to him.”
TRICK! This question has nothing to do with Jasa Rajgor.
