In Bhuj, Maharaj said to Sundarji Suthar, “Hide me, otherwise you will suffer misery.” Saying this, he remained hidden, so when the army came to the house to capture him, directed the canon and asked, “Is Swaminarayan here?” Sundarji said, “No.” And then Maharaj came out and declared, “Yes, I am here!” See now, did God not know what he had said? Then, the attacker (the minister of Bhuj, Jagjivan Mehta) saw hundreds of thousands of people. So he and his army ran away. Thus, his hiding was a human action, and his reappearance and frightening the army were divine actions. It is like that. If one keeps patience and has spiritual knowledge then one does not waver. Otherwise one falters.
