To understand the innermost principles of Maharaj and the great Sadhu is very difficult. When can they be known? When one serves such great sadhus as Muktanand Swami, Gopalanand Swami and Krupanand Swami for many years, then one comes to know them. But without this, they cannot be known; that is a fundamental fact. And without that, whatever we come to know is due to the grace of Shriji Maharaj and this great Sadhu. And when is this grace earned? When one is firm in dharma, has very firm knowledge of ātmā and Paramatma, has intense detachment from the sense pleasures and has single-minded devotion to Bhagwan Purushottam, coupled with knowledge of his glory. Such a person earns grace, but one who is body-conscious does not earn grace. Without the above, what appears to be grace will not last. Of that there is no doubt.
