One pandit came to Shriji Mahārāj in Bhādrā and recited a shloka. Ratnā Bhakta and Dosā Bhakta experienced samādhi. Maharaj said to the pandit, “The shloka you recited contains extreme greatness of Bhagwan; therefore, they are experiencing samādhi.” The pandit replied, “O Mahārāj! I have discoursed over and over again and no one has ever experienced samādhi.” In the assembly sat a jamādār (sepoy) from Bhuj. He also experienced samādhi. Speaking of this jamādār, Maharaj said, “This jamādār sees me in all three states being extolled by 180,000 prophets.” Then, Maharaj withdrew their experience of samādhi with his mere glance. The pandit then asked, “The past avatārs had not granted samādhi like this. Is this some sort of black magic?” The jamādār said to the pandit, “This [Maharaj] is not an avatār. He is the avatāri, the cause of the avatārs and the sovereign of Akshardhām. He has compassionately manifested to liberate countless jivas. And the avatārs that have occurred in the past all extol and pray to this Bhagwan. This is what I experienced in samādhi.” Maharaj showed his greatness in this way. Then, seeing such powers of Shriji Maharaj, Vashrām Sutār joyfully went to his farm and saw hundreds of thousands of ants come out of an anthill. He felt pity for the ants and thought, “When will these jivas attain the association of Bhagwan?” Then, with his wish, he gave the hundred thousand ants a chaturbhuj form (i.e. form with four arms) and sent them to Badrikashram in a vimān. Shriji Maharaj showed his powers through his devotees in this way. Vashrām Bhakta then narrated this incident to Shriji Maharaj. Dosā Bhakta asked Maharaj, “What pious deeds did those ants perform that they attained the abode of Bhagwan?” Maharaj replied, “When Purushottam Bhagwan comes on this earth with a wish to liberate countless jivas, then he liberates those jivas with his mere will immediately; or he liberates the infinite jivas through the will of his devotees. There is a distinction of inferiority and superiority between the will-power of the avatārs and the avatāri. What is this distinction? The avatāri accomplishes tasks with a mere wish, whereas the avatārs must get involved in accomplishing their wishes.” Mahārāj explained the difference between the avatārs and the avatāri in this way.
