Maharaj asked Nishkulanand Swami, “Is Santdasji greater or Muktanand Swami greater?” Nishkulanand Swami replied, “Santdasji has achieved an elevated state, so he is greater.” Maharaj said, “Santdasji has ceased progressing, whereas Muktanand Swami increasingly progresses; therefore, Muktanand Swami is greater.” Swami gave an analogy, “If one spends a large sum of money in building a mansion, they may spend 200,000 rupees but not more. However, in the camp of Kheda, [the British] spent one million rupees and another one million rupees were spent in the foundation; therefore, its value continues to appreciate. Santdasji is like the mansion and Muktanand Swami is like the camp of Kheda. Understand greatness in this way.”
