Upāsanā chokhkhī samajavī ne Mahārājnu sarva-kāraṇpaṇu samajavu. Ne pūrvanā avatār karatā āj to sādhu, satsangīmā ghaṇu sāmarthya chhe. Ne Puruṣhottamnā bhaktamā ne bījā avatārnā bhaktamā kem bhed chhe? To jem hāthaṇī viyāy tyāre tene bhes jevaḍu bachchu āve ne jū viyāy tyāre tene līkh1 āve, em bhed chhe. Ne vaḷī jem vaḍnu zāḍ ne tuvernu zāḍ em bhed chhe. Vaḷī, Mahārāj kahetā je, Shrī Kṛuṣhṇe to Aniruddh, Pradyumna ne Sankarṣhaṇ evā nām pāḍyā. Ne ame to Nityānand, Nirguṇānand ne Akṣharānand evā nām pāḍyā. Vaḷī, jem Dilhīnā bādshāhnu nām Sherkhā ne bījā koīknu nām Sherkhā; em avatārmā bhed chhe. Footnotes: 1. 1. Māthāmā mel bharātā jū nāmnā jantu paḍe chhe tenā īnḍā.
One should understand the pure upāsanā and the doer-ship of Maharaj. The present-day sadhus and satsangis are more powerful than the avatārs of the past. And what is the difference between the devotees of Purushottam and the devotees of other avatārs? It is similar to the difference between the offspring of an elephant, which is as big as a buffalo, and the offspring of a louse, which is as small as a nit. And the difference is like the banyan tree and a tuver tree. Moreover, Maharaj used to say that Shri Krishna gave names like Aniruddha, Pradyumna, and Sankarshan. And we gave names like Nityanand, Nirgunanand, and Aksharanand. Furthermore, the difference in the avatārs is like a commoner, whose name is Sherakhā, having the same name as the emperor of Delhi named Sherakhā.1 Footnotes: 1. 1. In this analogy, despite that an emperor and a commoner have the same name, the emperor is much more powerful that the commoner. Similarly, even though the avatārs of the past have been referred to as Purushottam in the scriptures, Maharaj is Purushottam and his powers exceed the other avatārs.
