One day, Swami awoke in the middle of the night and said, “Some think that Swami is on our side and some think that Swami is on our side. But even the senior sadhus have not been able to understand my opinion. So, today, what will you know?” Then someone asked, “Can a junior devotee know the views of one who is extremely great?” Then Swami said, “No way can he know! Can a butterfly know the worth of the sun? No. Similarly, the views of the senior sadhus cannot be known. That is a fact.”
