“Do not get carried away while attaining spiritual wisdom and also do not be disappointed. Understand as you do but do not reveal (your) greatness outside. Greatness is not attained by merely describing it. And that which exists does not go away by not describing it. In fact, when someone described Maharaj as God, he would become upset with them. And he had his greatness written in the Vachanamrut only gradually. Do it this way, but do not get carried away. If you’re going to believe any words, believe positive talks but not negative talks.” On this, he described the story of Nityanand Swami who stood firm against Maharaj for seven days and did not give in despite Maharaj’s efforts.1 Such conviction should be developed. Our talks are correct, but others cannot tolerate our superiority and so cause trouble. Therefore, do not talk outside. Understand as you do but do not get carried away; otherwise every day you will encounter difficulties. We have behaved in a way that nobody could understand us. So, all of you behave as we have and know Maharaj as the all-doer. Footnotes: 1. 1. When the Satsangijivan scripture was being written, the senior paramhansas discussed how to portray the glory of Shriji Maharaj. Some said that he should be described as being like Dattatrey, Kapil, etc. Some said he should be described as being like Ram, Krishna, etc. However, Nityanand Swami stood firm and said that Shriji Maharaj should be described as Supreme God. Everyone, including Shriji Maharaj, disagreed. Shriji Maharaj excommunicated him. So, Nityanand Swami left. For a week the discussions continued while Nityanand Swami was shunned by all. Then Shriji Maharaj called Nityanand Swami to the assembly and garlanded him for his resolute conviction in his supreme form. Shriji Maharaj thus told everyone that Nityanand Swami’s understanding was correct and even in the face of hardships should be perfected.
