On the farm, Nathu Patel asked, “How can one give up one’s faith from everywhere else and apply it to one place?” Then Swami replied, “Believe every deity to be his form. And be faithful to the one we have attained. What need do we have of the others? For us, the one who we stay with while alive will come to take us (to Akshardham); others will not come. And after death we want to stay with him.”
