A senior devotee called Swami and requested, “Come onto the cart.” So Swami sat in the cart. Then the devotee asked, “How can peace be experienced in the heart?” Swami replied, “Peace is experienced if one sees the great Sadhu just as one sees God.” Then Swami said, “The heifer of a cow does not get the joy of drinking milk by sucking any random part of the cow’s body, but only gets the pleasure of drinking milk when it sucks from the udder. That is an example and its message is that this entire Satsang is the body of Maharaj, but Maharaj eternally resides through the manifest human form of the God-realized Sadhu. When one attaches to him, one gets the bliss of Maharaj. Just as the joy of drinking milk is obtained from the cow’s udder.”
