Monday afternoon of Jeth sud 11 of Samvat 1921 (the day of Bhim Ekadashi), Swami said to Harishankarbhai in the storage quarter, “The talks in the morning discourse were really great. Why is that? Because God came. And if someone does not understand today, they will understand in the future. A tick lives on the cow’s udders, yet it only tastes the blood; whereas, a calf is not so close, yet it gets the cow’s tasty milk.1 Yogeshwardasji and Mahapurushdasji are both great sadhus and they are complete in their understanding of sānkhya-gnān. Also, they believe there is no other sadhu equal to me. All of the devotees have conviction of my form, while some sadhus may not.” Then, Swami spoke about Shukmuni, Haridasji, and other sadhus. Footnotes: 1. 1. Example: a tick lives on the cow’s udders but it can only taste the blood of the cow. A calf, on the other hand, does not remain so close, yet it drinks the cow’s milk. Moral: even if some remain close to the Satpurush physically, if they do not understand his form thoroughly, they do not experience the bliss that those who understand his form completely experience, despite not being close physically.
