When the writing of Satsangijivan began in Vartāl, the discussion on upāsanā arose. The sadhus debated for seven to eight days. Some sadhus opined, “Mahārāj should be referred to as Shri Krishna.” Nityānand Swāmi, on the other hand, said, “How can Mahārāj be referred to as other (avatārs)? Did the other avatārs merge the 24 avatārs, Bhumā-Purush, and other infinite [ishwars] in their form? Did any avatār show everyone the other avatārs performing their own pujan? On the other hand, Shriji Mahārāj actually showed Vyāpkānand Swāmi the 24 avatārs merge into himself in order to solidify his conviction. And he showed Parvatbhāi the 24 avatārs merge into him while he was tilling his farm. Furthermore, many people - who worshiped other avatārs - of Māngrol and other villages that Mahārāj visited came for his darshan. He sat all of them in meditation and showed them their ishtadev. Each of their isthadev told their devotees, ‘This Sahajānand Swāmi is the avatāri, the cause of all the avatārs. He is Purna Purushottam and we are his servants.’ He showed infinite powers and other wondrous miracles. Shri Sahajānand Swāmi is transcendental to Akshar and the cause of Rām, Krishna, and other avatārs. How can he be equaled to the other avatārs? If we do equal him to the other avatārs, then all of his extremely extraordinary powers would be false.” Then, Shriji Mahārāj said, “He is correct and his understanding is correct. The true upāsak should be like that; and we (I) took the side of the sadhus, but no one knows the purpose of what we say and why we say it.” So saying, Mahārāj was pleased and gave Nityānand Swāmi a garland. Then, Mahārāj said, “None of the infinite avatārs, the locations (abodes) of the avatārs or the muktas of those abodes that are beyond the barriers of this brahmānd or within the whole Chidākāsh reach Akshardhām. Only those who have the association of the manifest Purushottam Nārāyan attain Akshardhām. And others may try millions of endeavors but do not attain Akshardhām.” This is how Shriji Mahārāj spoke about his supremacy as Purushottam to the sadhus.
