Devji Bhakta, who worshiped the non-manifest avatārs of God, lived in the village Vāndhiyā. When Shriji Maharaj graced his home, he asked, “O Maharaj! Whose sant are you?” Shriji Maharaj answered, “We are the paramhansa of Swaminarayan.” He bowed to Shriji Maharaj and sat before him. Maharaj glanced at him and granted him the experience of samādhi. Maharaj showed him the infinite muktas, infinite avatārs, and limitless powers in his murti; then he showed the avatārs merge into his form. In this way, he solidified the conviction of his supremacy to Devji Bhakta. Mulji Brahmachari asked, “O Maharaj! What great deeds has this devotee performed that you - the master of infinite brahmānds - blessed his home and granted him the experience of samādhi, which is rare even for the great yogis to achieve?” Shriji Maharaj replied, “For 100 births, this devotee had been observing the vow of celibacy firmly in order to attain God. For that reason, I blessed his home.” Then, Maharaj woke the devotee from his samādhi. Devji Bhakta said, “O Maharaj! You are the master of even Akshar, who is the support of infinite brahmānds. You are the avatāri - the cause of the avatārs and the cause of all. You are the manifest Purushottam Narayan. You have mercifully blessed my home. Therefore, O Maharaj! Tell me so that there is no deficiency in the conviction of your supremacy.” Shriji Maharaj said, “I have never come to this brahmānd and I will never come again.1 Therefore, do not let your conviction sway.” In this way, Maharaj showed his divine powers to Devji Bhakta. Footnotes: 1. 1. The purport of this statement by Shriji Maharaj is that he came on this earth for the first time and he will remain present through the Satpurush who is Aksharbrahma. If Maharaj remains present on this earth through the Satpurush, then there is no question of him having to come again. Therefore, Maharaj says he will never come again.
