“With whatever commands I give, I give Maharaj’s murti. But those who do not have spiritual wisdom do not understand this point. Maharaj and the great Sadhu have only one principle – that Maharaj wants to give the bliss of his own murti, but not the joy of powers. Since, otherwise, the jiva continually desires powers. In the same way, the great Sadhu is of the opinion that jivas should be united with the murti of Maharaj, but not be attached to worldly pleasures or the body. One who joins them to worldly pleasures is not a God-realized Sadhu and one who joins them to powers is not Bhagwan Purushottam. This principle was well understood by Prahlad – that one who gives worldly pleasures is not God and one who asks for worldly pleasures is not a devotee. Therefore, one who wants to be truly faithful to God should not desire for anything except the murti of God. That is the principle.” Saying this, Swami said, “Even the yogic powers are not able to assume the form of this God and this Sadhu, since they are not comprehensible. However, the forms of other avatārs are assumed by yogic powers, but yogic powers are not able to assume the form of this manifest Maharaj and this manifest Sadhu. Just as an actor cannot impersonate a ruling king.”
