53.1 In the Samvat year 1880, on Vaishãkh sud 5 [3rd May 1824], Swãmi Shree Sahajãnandji Mahãrãj was sitting upon a mattress with a large, cylindrical pillow in His residence 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.
53.2 Then, Shreeji Mahãrãj said, “The characteristics of moh as described in the shãstras are as follows: When moh pervades a person’s heart, he simply cannot perceive his own avgun. Therefore, for a person not to perceive his own avgun is the very definition of delusion.
53.3 “Moreover, everyone has extreme pride of the wisdom that they possess, but they do not think, ‘I do not even know anything about my own jeev. Is the jeev within this body black, or is it white? Is it long, or is it short?’ They know nothing about their own jeev, yet they find avgun in the great sant or in Bhagvãn. They feel, ‘Although He is a great sant or Bhagvãn, this much He is not doing properly’. Though they find avgun in this way, little do the fools realise that Bhagvãn sees all the jeevs and ishvars who dwell in the countless millions of brahmãnds as clearly as He sees a drop of water in His palm. He is also the supporter of countless millions of brahmãnds; He is the husband of Lakshmi; and He is the creator, sustainer, and destroyer of countless millions of brahmãnds. Even Shesh, Shãrada, Brahmã, and other devs are unable to comprehend the extent of His greatness. In fact, even the Veds describe His glory as ‘neti neti’ implying that the glory of Bhagvãn is unparalleled.
53.4 “Therefore, a person who perceives avgun either in Bhagvãn’s charitras or in His understanding should be known to be a vimukh and a sinner. In fact, he should be considered to be the king of all fools. The understanding of Bhagvãn and His bhaktas is beyond this world. Then, how can a person who believes his self to be the body possibly comprehend it?
53.5 “So, it is simply out of foolishness that a person perceives flaws in Bhagvãn and His bhaktas and therefore falls from the path of Bhagvãn; but Bhagvãn’s true bhakta, the sat-purush, continues to act in a alokik way.”
