After asking someone to read Vachanamruts Kariyani-8 and Gadhada II-17, Swami said, “That one has to understand like this has been forgotten. We have become trapped in the cycle of bricks, stones, wood, money and men (i.e. building activities, etc.). I was disappointed when the building of this mansion was started and thought about when it will finish and when I will be able to deliver talks? Since, if this body perishes, the talks will remain undelivered. I feel that I should sit in a hut, collect some grains and talk to all the people of the world. But Trikamdas is having a ceiling built and painted; and are those liberated souls of Badrikashram, Shvetdwip and Akshardham, and Govardhanbhai so foolish as to waste twenty thousand koris? Muktanand Swami said to Maharaj, “It’s bad about what happened to Govardhanbhai.” Then Maharaj said, “He has attained the state of Sama-loshtāshma-kānchanah.1 Is that very bad?” Then Muktanand Swami understood. After narrating this, he said, “Even if one understands as per these two Vachanamruts, then still one cannot see Akshardham while seated here. But that is not a deficiency, since, seeing the Lord of Akshardham means that Akshardham has certainly been included (in that vision). So, keep looking at this murti that has been attained. But one repeatedly goes back home because it has become a habit, just as one becomes addicted to opium.” After talking in this way, Swami had the kirtan ‘Rāje Gadhpur Mahārāj’ sung. Swami talked about Uddhavji and the Gopis, and that one knowledgeable about the present manifest form is described as the best of all. Maharaj has said in Vachanamrut Gadhada I-71 that without talking about the manifest form, people think that God exists only in Badrikashram, Shvetdwip and Golok and not here. But the supreme God manifest here is not understood. Therefore, we talk about manifest God. That such association has been attained (with the supreme God in human form) and yet one does not feel intense joy and does not go mad has been kept that way by God for the redemption of the jiva. Otherwise one would go mad. Matya didhe māne nahi, kumatye man kolāy; Āvel avle akshare, te savle kem sohāy.2 Footnotes: 1. 1. Gordhanbhai, a resident of Mangrol (district: Junagadh, Saurashtra), was a spiritually enlightened devotee of Bhagwan Swaminarayan. He was a businessman, and when someone took anything from his shop on credit, he noted it by writing, for example, “10 kg sugar – On the account of Swaminarayan.” In this way, he incurred a loss of 20,000 koris (18th century currency). When Muktanand Swami found out about this carefree approach, he told Maharaj. Then, Maharaj quoted this shlok to describe Gordhanbhai’s elevated spiritual state. “Sama loshtāshma-kānchanah...” – He who regards a lump of earth, a stone and (a piece of) gold as equal is said to be gunātit. - Bhagwad Gita 14/24 2. There are many wretched people who do not accept helpful advice, since their mind is clouded with evil. Such people are born with perverted thoughts, so how can they have good thoughts?
