The [paramhansas] stayed during the khatras prakaran and left during the jalebi prakaran.1 Particularly, the vishays are detrimental like frost.2 Footnotes: 1. 1. There are two ways to understands this short statement by Swami: (1) In the beginning, Shriji Maharaj made the paramhansas perform extreme austerities by issuing various prakarans. In one prakaran, Maharaj made the paramhansas abstain from eating foods that contained six types of tastes. This was known as the khatras vartamān. Many sadhus passed this harsh vartamān. Maharaj then overturned this prakaran and started serving delicious foods and sweets. However, many sadhus, who were inclined toward practicing vairāgya, did not prefer this freedom from austerities. So, many of these sadhus left. (2) Another way to interpret this statement is: It is possible to stay in Satsang when a harsh prakaran like khatras is observed, but when one is allowed to eat delicious foods like jalebis, one will certainly fall, because indulging in the best of the vishays will awaken the indriyas’ inclination to enjoy the vishays. This leads one to fall from observing the niyams of satsang. See Swamini Vat 2/154 footnote for the list of prakarans issued by Shriji Maharaj. 2. The sadguru sadhus explain the significant of this statement this way: When Maharaj made the sadhus perform extreme austerities, the inclination of their indriyas became dormant. When he ended the khatras vartamān and started feeding the sadhus, their indriyas awakened and became attached to the delicious foods. This lead to thoughts of enjoying other aspects of the world and they left. In contrast, the ones who derived happiness only from Maharaj’s murti successfully passed this prakaran. Here, Swami refers to frost as ‘cold heat’. This is in reference to Vachanamrut Gadhada II-23: Heat and Frost.
