Maharaj asked Anand Swami, Muktanand Swami and Swarupanand Swami, “How do you carry out my commands and perform these tasks?” First, Anand Swami replied, “I would do as you say.” Next, Muktanand Swami said, “When I extend out my inward focus by one handspan, then the task is done; and when that focus, which has been extended out one handspan, is drawn back inwards by two handspans then I am happy.” Then he asked Swarupanand Swami, “What would you do?” He said, “When I look at the task to be done, the object disappears and only your murti is seen.” Then Maharaj said, “Your statement that the object disappears and the murti is seen is not believed by all.” Then Swarupanand Swami said, “It is like sticking a lemon at the tip of an arrow, then wherever the arrow is turned, only the lemon is seen. Similarly, God totally resides in my focus and so wherever my focus is directed, there God is seen.” Then Maharaj said, “The inclinations of all three are different. Therefore, Anand Swami should keep the company of Muktanand Swami and Muktanand Swami should keep the company of Swarupanand Swami. If you do this, each other’s deficiencies will be resolved.” Thus, this is the difference between the highest, medium and lowest levels of performing given activities.
