If one’s faults remain and the great Sadhu one has served dies, and such company no longer remains, still, somehow he (the great Sadhu) will help one to overcome one’s faults. He is powerful, so he will protect the aspirant just as Vyāsji did for the worm.1 Footnotes: 1. 1. Naradji asked Vyasji, “What is the glory of Satsang?” So, Vyasji directed Naradji to put the question to a worm living in some cowdung. By the mere darshan of Naradji, the worm attained a higher birth. In turn, it was born as a parrot, a calf and finally as a prince. Then by the darshan of Naradji the prince was liberated.
