One day, Swami looked at the younger sadhus, pārshads and brahmachāris and said, “Desh deshānter bahot firyā, manushyakā bahot sukāl; Jāku dekhe chhāti thare, vākā padyā dukāl.”1 Then he said, “Just as one enters samādhi on seeing Maharaj and the jiva becomes blissful, similarly, on having the darshan of Niranjananand Swami, one experiences samādhi-like bliss – there is a shortage of such people.” Then someone asked, “What are the qualities of one, on seeing whom, another feels peace within?” Swami replied, “When one’s worldly desires cease on seeing someone then one feels peace within; and if on seeing someone, one’s mind becomes excited, i.e. harbors material desires, then one will not feel peace within.” Again someone asked, “How does one attain the virtues that cause peace within others?” Then Swami said, “Such virtues are not easily attained; however much an aspirant stays together with or serves (the Satpurush) and however much he does as told, still the virtues of the great are not easily attained.” Then again someone asked with folded hands, “O Maharaj, by what means are such virtues attained? And it is said at many places in the Vachanamrut that the virtues of the Satpurush are attained by the aspirant.” Then Swami said, “The virtues of the Satpurush are attained only if one understands him as being free of any faults, as all-knowing and if one keeps no distance2 from him. Then the virtues of the Satpurush develop in the aspirant, but without this, they never develop.” Footnotes: 1. 1. After travelling throughout the country in many provinces, one notices that there are a large number of people; But where is the population on seeing whom, one feels peace within. 2. That is, does not hide anything from him, i.e. confesses one’s shortcomings, sins and lapses to the Satpurush.
