Swami called a devotee and said, “Have my darshan as this body exists for you, since the god of death is being kept at bay.” Then Swami added, “When one becomes separated from such a Sadhu, one should feel pain comparable to that of having fallen into hell! Since such pain is not felt, has the jiva really attached to the Satpurush? No. As long as the jiva is not attached to the Satpurush, one becomes engrossed in this world, its material pleasures and the body.” Further, Swami said, “I have to complete thousands of tasks, but if I forget God even for the fraction of a second it takes to blink, then I feel pain like as if my head has been split open.” Then someone asked, “You accomplish thousands of tasks, yet continually remember God like an uninterrupted flow of oil. How is this possible?” Then Swami answered, “Do you ever forget your body?” He replied, “No, Maharaj.” Then Swami said, “If you forget your body, then I will forget Maharaj’s murti. Since, just as a fish moves, swims and acts in water, I walk, talk and do all tasks immersed in the form of Maharaj. But forgetting Maharaj I never do anything. One who does not know this fact will attribute faults even to the great Sadhu, will himself be tormented and will torment others. Such a faultfinder will not be liberated from the cycle of births and deaths even in tens of millions of years. That is a fundamental truth.”
