Gopal [Gopalanand] Swami had 60 sadhus in his mandal. Someone asked for four sadhus from his mandal. Gopal Swami replied, “I only have two sadhus.”1 Footnotes: 1. 1. In this talk, Swami is pointing out that a true sadhu is one who actually possesses the qualities of a sadhu, not one who dons the clothes of a sadhu. In Swamini Vat 5/28, Swami mentions that the two sadhus of Gopalanand Swami were Balmukund Swami and Sarvanivasanand Swami.
