“Kṛupānand Swāmīno em mat je, gaḷāmā ūnī kosh ghāle eṭalī pīḍā thāy, to paṇ Bhagwānnī āgnā lopavī nahi. Ne vaḷī Kṛupānand Swāmī em kahetā je, swapnano upavās to paḍe nahi, ne jo paḍe to deh paḍī jāy, evo potāno ṭharāv; ne viṣhaynī bīk to kevī rahe je, ‘Alp vachanmā fer paḍe to mahat vachanmā fer paḍyo hoy,’ eṭalī bīk lāge. Te me ek divas najare dīṭhu chhe. Evā Kṛupānand Swāmī te to Gangā jevā! Te jem Gangāno pravāh chār gāumā chālyo jāy chhe, te koīno haṭhāvyo haṭhe nahi; tem temanī vṛutti koīnī haṭhāvī Bhagwānnā swarūpmāthī pāchhī haṭhe nahi, te ek divas Kṛupānand Swāmīnī samādhi joīne Sachchidānand Swāmīe kahyu je, ‘Amāre Kṛupānand Swāmīnā jevu het nahi.’ Ne evā hetvāḷā te to Gangā jevā ne Gopāḷānand Swāmī te to dariyā jevā! Te to anant jīvne sukhiyā karī nākhe tevā hatā.” Em kahīne bolyā je, “Jevā Raghuvīrjī Mahārāj hatā ne jevā Gopāḷānand Swāmī hatā, tevā to jaṇāṇā ja nahi! Ne āj Sādhu hashe tene paṇ jāṇatā nathī, tene bahu khoṭ jāshe! Kem je, evā moṭā vinā Mahārājno siddhānt koṇ kaheshe? Ne bījā to potānī samajaṇ pramāṇe samajāvshe, paṇ jem chhe tem samajāvtā āvaḍashe nahi, e siddhānt vāt chhe.”
“Krupanand Swami’s resolve is, even if someone inserts a red-hot crowbar down one’s throat, one should not transgress God’s command. And Krupanand Swami used to say, ‘I would not have to observe a fast for transgressing the vow of celibacy in my dream. And if I did, my body would die.’ That was his determination. And his fear of the vishays was such that, if he transgressed a minor command, he felt he had transgressed a major command. That was his fear. I observed this with my eyes one day. And Krupanand Swami is like the river Ganga. The current of Ganga flows and no one can stop it from its path. Similarly, no one can stop his mind’s attachment to God’s form. One day, Sachchidanand Swami saw Krupanand Swami’s samādhi1 and said, “We do not have the love equal to Krupanand Swami’s love.” One with that level of love is like the river Ganga. And Gopalanand Swami is like an ocean. He can make infinite jivas happy.” Then, Swami said, “No one realized Raghuvirji Maharaj and Gopalanand Swami exactly as they were. And today, no one realizes the Sadhu as he is, and they will suffer a great loss! Why? Who else other than the great Sadhu reveal Maharaj’s principle? Others will explain as according to their understanding; however, they will not be able to explain exactly as it is. This is the principle.” Footnotes: 1. 1. Samādhi in this context means an elevated state of extreme love for Maharaj. Gunatitanand Swami mentions in Swamini Vat 4/2 that, through remembrance, knowledge, and meditation, Krupanand Swami maintained his mind on God without the experience of samādhi.
