Then Swami said, “One should worship God according to the prevailing customs of the time. Thus, the customs at the time of Ram avatār were different, the customs at the time of Krishna avatār were different, the customs at the time of Rishabhdev and Parshuram were different, the customs at the time of Shukji were different, and today, Maharaj’s customs are different. Therefore, worship God according to the methods current at the time.” Then a devotee said, “In this human birth, we have recognized you. That is a great thing.” Then Swami said, “Yes, the Sadhu has become dearer than one’s life.”
