In Satsang there is talk that the jiva becomes brahmarup. Then someone asked, “There is such talk in Satsang, yet why does the jiva not become brahmarup?” Then Swami said, “Because the jiva has not become attached to the Satpurush with affection. And even if the jiva has become attached to the Satpurush, it does not trust him.” Then someone asked, “If the jiva has been attached with affection, why does trust not develop?” Then Swami said, “This Jala Bhakta1 has firmly attached his jiva to me but does not trust me.” Then he added, “There may be trust, but one does not honestly confess. And if one is totally honest then the jiva cannot remain without becoming brahmarup. That is a fact.” Footnotes: 1. 1. Jala Bhakta was a pārshad who stayed at Junagadh mandir. He had deep love for Gunatitanand Swami and served according to Gunatitanand Swami’s instructions. Yet when Swami gave directions on matters of upāsanā or administration, he did not believe them.
