On the way to Vanthali, Swami said, “Now all our tasks have been completed. Since, it is so arranged that you can worship God in comfort. And now, difficulties are encountered only if one (specially) creates them oneself. Just as on seeing the wounded skin of a monkey, other monkeys scratch it and cause pain, similarly, if you all get together and inflict suffering (on each other), it will arise.” Then Swami continued, “See, Maharaj is supreme, this Sadhu is supreme and this place is supreme; and if miseries remain here, then where else will miseries be removed? They will not be overcome. Therefore, for one who wants to become happy, there is nothing comparable to this Satsang.” Then, Swami said, “Whenever I walk on this path, I remember God. Since, Maharaj and many senior sadhus walked here many times.” Then Kashiram (a devotee) asked, “One who has had Maharaj’s darshan can recall, but what does one who has never had Maharaj’s darshan recall?” Then Swami answered, “For us, Maharaj has not gone away. He is present. He gives us darshan, talks and gives much happiness in this way (through this Sadhu). But while there is ignorance (that he has gone), it is not understood. That is a fact.”
