When we saw Maharaj, he was always talking about spiritual matters. And spiritual knowledge, affection and servitude are three inclinations. Of them, spiritual knowledge is the best. On this, he had the Vachanamrut titled 'Reverence and Condemnation' (Vachanamrut Loya-17) read. One who has taken refuge in the manifest form of God or God-realized Sadhu has attained all principles, has nothing more left to do and is beyond the influence of kāl, karma and māyā. On this, Swami narrated the story of the goat who had the support of the tiger and so nobody could harass him. Then he quoted the shlok: Nichāshraya na kartavyah kartavyo mahadāshrayah; Ajā sinhaprasādena ārudhā gaja-mastake.1 Similarly, with the help of manifest God and the manifest Sadhu, kāl, karma and māyā, cannot cause harassment. Footnotes: 1. 1. Do not take refuge at the feet of the lowly, but only of the great; The goat (by sitting at the footprints of the lion), earned the grace of the lion and was seated on the head of an elephant. A goat sat next to a footprints of a lion. Whenever any predator came to kill it, the goat would point to the footprints saying that it was under the protection of the lion. Thus, the predator would go away for fear of reprisal. When the lion came and saw the goat’s faith in his footprints, it was pleased and as a reward for its faith, honoured the goat by seating it on an elephant.
