Swami had the Vachanamrut Paratharo read and said, “For four years, Maharaj did not show any signs (of his supremacy) but only discoursed. Therefore, everyone was drawn toward him. The others, however, became doubtful.1 Then, they prayed to him to show his powers, so Maharaj granted many people in Junagadh the experience of samādhi and they became mad. He gave them the darshan of their own ishtadev. The sadhus today are like the avatārs of the past.2 Therefore, one should scrutinize other sadhus and this Sadhu, other gurus and this Guru.” Footnotes: 1. 1. These words can be understood in two ways. First, Maharaj did not clarify his true swarup for four years, but simply discoursed. Therefore, everyone became drawn to him through love and became attached to him. Seeing so many people become attached to him, others formed doubts of whether he could be God or not. Second, seeing Maharaj draw people from other sampradāyas, other gurus formed doubts that if everyone joins the Swaminarayan Sampraday, what will happen to our sampradāy? 2. The purport of these words is: the sadhus of Shriji Maharaj and Aksharbrahma Gunatitanand Swami have powers similar to the previous avatārs.
