7.1 In the Samvat year 1882, on Fãgan vad 7 [30th March 1826], Swãmi Shree Sahajãnandji Mahãrãj was having the Vãsudev Mahãtmya read on the medi above the gate of the mandir of Shree Nar-Nãrãyan in Amdãvãd. Then, in the evening, He got up and sat facing east on a decorated bedstead under the neem tree near the gate. Around His head, He had tied a pink pãgh, and tassels of roses had been inserted into the pãgh. He was also wearing garlands of roses. In addition to this, He was wearing a white survãl and had covered Himself with a thin, white chofãl. A sabhã of munis, as well as haribhaktas from various places, had gathered before Him. 7.2 Then, Prãgji Davé asked, “Mahãrãj, by what means can a person’s mind become firmly fixed on you so that it does not become adulterous by straying elsewhere?” 7.3 Shreeji Mahãrãj began by saying, “Please listen as I answer your question.” He then continued, “By realising the greatness of Bhagvãn, a person’s mind becomes fixed on Him. Now, I shall explain how that greatness should be understood. 7.4 “I had previously asked Rãmãnand Swãmi at Lãdhã Brãhman’s house in Piplãnã, ‘Are you truly Bhagvãn, or are you merely called Bhagvãn?’ Rãmãnand Swãmi did not reply then. Later, in Samvat 1869, I had fallen ill. During my illness, I went to Kshir-Sãgar where Shesh-Shãyi Nãrãyan rests upon Shesh, and I saw Rãmãnand Swãmi there. He was wearing a white dhoti and had covered himself with a white pachhedi. I also saw many others sitting near the holy feet of Shesh-Shãyi Nãrãyan. I asked Nãrãyan, ‘Who is this Rãmãnand Swãmi?’ Nãrãyan replied, ‘He is a knower of Brahm’. After He said this, Rãmãnand Swãmi merged into the body of Nãrãyan, and I then returned to my physical body. 7.5 “Then, when I performed antar-drashti, I saw the source of the divine sound of pranav. While I was looking at it, Nandishvar, the bull, approached me. I mounted upon it and went to Shiv in Kailãs. There, Garud arrived. So, I mounted upon it and began to travel to Vaikunth and Akshardhãm. However, as Garud was unable to fly to Akshardhãm, I went alone to the dhãm of Shree Purushottam Nãrãyan, which is beyond everything. There, I saw that it was I who was Purushottam; I did not see anyone important, apart from myself. In this way, I travelled to these places, and then finally returned to my body. 7.6 “Then, when I looked within again, I realised that I am the creator, sustainer, and destroyer of all the brahmãnds. In those countless brahmãnds, it is by my divine light that countless Shivs, countless Brahmãs, countless Kailãs, countless Vaikunths, Golok, Akshardhãm, as well as countless millions of other loks, are radiant. 7.7 “What am I like? Well, if I were to shake the earth with the toe of my foot, the worlds of countless brahmãnds would begin to shake. It is also by my divine light that the sun, the moon, and the stars are radiant. So, if a person develops the belief of my svarup in this way, his mind becomes fixed on me – Bhagvãn – and would never stray anywhere else. Moreover, I will grant my supreme dhãm to all who come to my refuge and understand this. In addition, I will make them antaryãmi, and powerful enough to create, sustain, and destroy brahmãnds. However, after receiving such powers, a person should not think, ‘I alone my great’, and neglect and murti of Shree Nar-Nãrãyan. Instead, a person should realise ‘It is by compassion of Shree Nar-Nãrãyan that I have attained such greatness’.” 7.8 In this way, Shreeji Mahãrãj answered the question.
