First think about the place and time and then talk. Do not walk the path of affection. Then Swami talked about himself, “I had a lot of affection, so I could not stay without talking just like Pragji.” On hearing this, Krupanand Swami used to say, “We will make you a guru.” So, I said, “What is my fault?” Then Krupanand Swami said, “Your qualities are such that you will become a guru. How can one who gives so many discourses, does so much service, and offers so much devotion remain without becoming a guru?” Then after a few days, Maharaj called me, made me sit in Muktanand Swami’s lap and said, “We have come to redeem the jivas, so form a group of five sadhus and deliver discourses.” Then I said, “Maharaj, how can I run a group.” Then Maharaj said, “Keep ten sadhus, keep twenty-five.” At that time I did not say anything but Maharaj continued counting and eventually talked about keeping three hundred sadhus. And whatever commands I was given, I thought about them and then did, but, Atmanand Swami, Krupanand Swami, Gopalanand Swami would instantly obey his commands.” So they are known for their instantaneous obedience. This and many other talks were delivered. Based on this, Vachanamrut Gadhada II-48 was read and then Swami said, “After taking birth it is better to live among sadhus.”
