One day Maharaj bathed in the Narmadā, then sat in meditation and would not get up. Then Muktanand Swami approached him with folded hands and prayed two to three times, “O Maharaj! It would be good if you take some food.” Then Maharaj said, “I want to eat, but I want to talk first.” Then Swami said, “O Maharaj! Please talk.” Then Maharaj spoke, “This earth is 500 million yojans. Water is ten times greater than earth; and ten times greater than water is light, and ten times greater than light is air; and ten times greater than air is space; and ten times greater than space is ahamkār; and ten times greater than ahamkār is mahatattva; and ten times greater than mahatattva is Pradhan-Purush; and an infinite times greater than Pradhan-Purush is Prakruti-Purush; and an infinite times greater than Prakruti-Purush is Akshardham. The countless aksharmuktas residing in that abode have the company of Purushottam, but others do not. Some have the company of Indra, etc., some have the company of Brahmā, etc., some have the company of Vairāt, etc., some have the company of Pradhan-Purush, etc., and some have the company of Prakruti-Purush, etc., but not of Purushottam.” Then Muktanand Swami said, “What if someone has the company of Purushottam here?” Then Maharaj said, “That is all there is to understand. Since, only the liberated souls of Akshardham and you have the company of Purushottam, but nobody in between has.”1 Footnotes: 1. 1. This incident took place in Ashadhi Samvat 1872 (1816 CE) on the way from Dharampur in south Gujarat to Gadhada in Saurashtra.
