Mahārāje to “Panpoḷīne rākhe tenī pāse rahevu nahī” em kahyu chhe.1 pachhī sūze tem karo. Ame to Ātmānand Swāmī bahu ṭokatā tenī bheḷe rahyā; ne Brahmānand Swāmī bheḷā rahetā te nīkaḷyā. Ne te kahyā vinā khoṭya jāy nahī. Ne jyā sārī sārī rasoī maḷe tyā vāre vāre jāy, paṇ Kevaḷātmānand Swāmī to jo koī pākī rasoīnu kahe to tene kaheshe je, “Jūnegaḍhthī Swāmīno kāgaḷ magāvyo chhe. Te āgnā āvashe tyāre leshu,” em bā'nā kāḍhīne chokhkhī nā kahevī ne dāḷ-roṭalā levā; ne pachhī be divas rahīne bhāgī nīsarvu. Paṇ gaḷyā, chīkaṇā, chopaḍyā, vaghāryā, dhungāryā, te khūb taḍūsīne sūtā, teṇe karīne vadhashe kām ne krodh. Ne āpaṇe to Dharmāmṛut, Niṣhkāmshuddhi ne Shikṣhāpatrī e traṇ granth pramāṇe rahevu. Em Mahārāje kahyu chhe. Te Mahārājnī ruchi pramāṇe rahevu. ‘Brahmānand rehano bhalo rūkhme’2 em kahyu chhe. Te traṇ granththī vadhu lūgaḍu ke padārth raheshe ke khavāshe to bandhan thāshe ne eno to āgaḷ javāb levāshe. Footnotes: 1. 1. Vachanāmṛut Loyā Prakaraṇ 6. 2. Bhāvārth: Brahmānand Swāmī kahe chhe ke moṭānī ruchi pramāṇe (niyam dharmamā) rahevu sāru chhe.
Maharaj had said, “Do not stay with one who pampers others (Vachanamrut Loya-6).” So, do as you see fit. As for me, Atmanand Swami rebuked me a lot and so I stayed with him. I used to stay with Brahmanand Swami, but left him as he did not rebuke. So, without it being pointed out, the deficiency will not go. And one goes repeatedly to a place where a good meal is available, but if someone invited Kevalatmanand Swami for a full meal, he would say, “We have asked for a letter of permission from Swami in Junagadh. If we get it then only we will accept (the meal).” He would make excuses in this way, decline the meal and accept only simple food; and then stay two days and leave. But, by eating a sumptuous meal of sweets, oily, spicy, hot food in abundance and then resting, desires and anger will increase. And we sadhus should live as per the three scriptures – Dharmamrut, Nishkam Shuddhi and Shikshapatri. This is what Maharaj has said. And live as per the wish of Maharaj. It is said, ‘Brahmānand rehano bhalo rukhme.’1 If more clothes and objects than permitted in the three scriptures are kept or eaten then it will result in bondage. And the answer to this attitude of having and enjoying will have to be given later to Bhagwan Swaminarayan. Footnotes: 1. 1. Brahmanand says that to obey the commands of God is in our benefit.
