“Whosoever’s house the enlightened Sadhu of God goes to for begging alms, that house becomes a place of pilgrimage. Also, the giver of alms earns the merits of having been to every pilgrim place. And if in that time he were to die, he would attain the abode of God. Such is the glory of the God-realized Sadhu. That God we have attained, so we ourselves have become places of pilgrimage. And, the power which the devotees and sadhus have today is not found in the other past avatārs.” On this, Swami narrated the story of the old woman of Ghānlā: “The old woman told her husband, ‘I have massaged the legs of God, so my hands have been sanctified. So, anyone who has drank water from my pot or has eaten food made by me will be liberated. So, is there any doubt about your liberation?’”
