Mānī hoy tene mān āpīne jītavo, ne garavīne1 dīn thaī jītavo, ne garībne dabāvīne jītavo, ne lobhīne padārth āpīne jītavo, em sarvene jītī levā. Ne Mahārāje mane kahyu je, “Tame to Indrāṇī chho2 ne bījā to Indra chhe; ne Indra to ghaṇāy thaī jāy ne Indrāṇī to ek ja rahe. Tem bījā to ghaṇāy thaī jāshe ne tame to ek ja chho.” Footnotes: 1. 1.

Win over an egotist by honouring him; win over the arrogant by being meek; win over the meek by controlling them and win over the greedy by giving them things – in this way win over everybody. Maharaj told me, “You are the queen of Indra and others are Indras.1 Many become Indra, but there is only one queen of Indra. Similarly, many other akshar muktas will come and go, but only you are the one and unique Aksharbrahman.” Footnotes: 1. 1. Here, Gunatitanand Swami reveals his greatness compared to other senior sadhus. According to mythology just as Indra changes but Indra’s queen (Indrani) does not, similarly, other muktas may come from and go to earth, but the Gunatit stays forever. Here, the emphasis is on the use of the term the ‘queen of Indra’ since there are many akshar muktas but there is only one Mul (Eternal) Akshar.
