[Satsangijīvan (Harigītā) 1: 25-37] (Swāmīnī vāt: 1/171nī pādṭīp)
During an Ashwamedh Yagna the sacrificial horse is taken throughout the ten directions and if somebody seizes it, the yagna remains incomplete till the horse is freed. So, the fruits of the sacrifice are not earned until the horse is released. But, if the horse is allowed to roam in one’s own compound, one can finish the yagna and earn the fruits. Since, the fruits are attained by performing the yagna and by riding the horse, fame increases. And the horse of the powerful, like Swarupanand Swami, cannot be captured.1 Even one who remains close to God and may be the son of God still has to attain the 64 qualities. Therefore, ride the horse in the compound and finish the yagna. Footnotes: 1. 1. ‘Capturing the horse’ – used as a metaphor to mean that a devotee becomes attached to material pleasures instead of God.
