Somebody told Swami, “You have given divine powers to this Pragji1 and he has gone out of control, so do what had been done with Shekhji.”2 Then Swami said, “This is not a lighthearted matter. This has deep foundations, down to the very core of the earth. The powers have been attained due to true blessings.” Footnotes: 1. 1. Pragji Bhakta of Mahuva was the foremost disciple of Gunatitanand Swami. He had earned the blessings of Swami by serving him diligently and so had been blessed with many divine powers. Others who were jealous of Pragji Bhakta urged Swami to revoke the powers. However, Swami firmly stated that Pragji had been so bestowed because he merited them. 2. Shekhji was a devotee of Bhagwan Swaminarayan who had been instructed by Maharaj to spread Satsang in the Sindh region. He requested Maharaj to grant him some divine powers to make his task easier. So, Maharaj granted that anyone meditating on his beard would attain samādhi. Also, Maharaj told him not to have any contact with women and to keep control in his eating and drinking habits. But Shekhji became proud of his newly given powers and disobeyed Maharaj’s strict instructions. When Maharaj found out, he withdrew the powers he had given. Then Shekhji returned to Maharaj and asked for pardon.
