50.1 In the Samvat year 1880, on the night of Chaitra vad 2 [15th April 1824], Swãmi Shree Sahajãnandji Mahãrãj was sitting on the veranda outside the west-facing medi in front of the mandir of Shree Vãsudev-Nãrãyan in Dãdã Khãchar’s darbãr in Gadhadã. He was dressed entirely in white clothes. A sabhã of munis, as well as haribhaktas from various places, had gathered before Him.
50.2 Then, Shreeji Mahãrãj said, “As I consider all of you to be mine, today I am going to reveal to you my fundamental principle.” He then continued, “Just as rivers merge into the sea, just as a sati and a moth burn in a fire, and just as the brave sacrifice themselves on the battlefield, in the same way, I have kept my ãtmã absorbed in the pure and perfect brahm. I have also forever attached myself with undying love to Purushottam Bhagvãn – who possesses a definite svarup – and to His bhaktas dwelling in the radiant Akshardhãm. In fact, I have no love for anything other than them. This is what I constantly experience.
50.3 “Outwardly, I do not make a display of the intensity of my tyãg. However, when I look into my heart and towards the hearts of other bhaktas, even the senior paramhans and senior sãnkhya-yogi women all seem to have some trace of the world remaining – whereas worldly desires never arise in my heart; not even in my dreams. It also seems to me that no one is capable of making me falter from my bhakti towards Bhagvãn and His bhaktas.
50.4 “In addition, even before a person had been graced with the attainment of Bhagvãn, Kãl (a power of Bhagvãn) was unable to destroy the jeev; karmas were unable to destroy the jeev; not even Mãyã was able to absorb the jeev within itself. So, having attained Bhagvãn, why should a person worry about Kãl, karma, and Mãyã? Bearing this in mind, I have become determined that I do not want to develop love for anyone except Bhagvãn and His bhaktas.
50.5 “Furthermore, I do not wish to leave any trace of the world in the hearts of whosoever keeps my company. This is because I only get along with those whose determination is similar to mine. However, if a person has desires for worldly pleasures, that even if I try to develop love for that person, I cannot do so. Therefore, only those bhaktas of Bhagvãn who are free of worldly desires are dear to me. What I have just told you is my personal principle.”
50.6 In this way, Shreeji Mahãrãj talked to His bhaktas for the sake of their enlightenment.
