On the noon of Vaishakh Vad 12th, the 18th Vachanamrut of Vartal was being read. In it there came a reference about the tradition of preceptor. Then Swami Ishwarcharandasji asked, “Shriji Maharaj is Purushottamnarayan Himself. He is said to be disciple of Shri Ramanand Swami. What is the meaning of that disciple?” Bapashri said, “Maharaj gave the happiness of Murti to Ramanand Swami and thus He did his service therefore He is known as his disciple. Shriji Maharaj gave the honour of preceptor to Shri Ramanand Swami but this assembly is not inferior to that assembly. You all are as good as Ramanand Swami. You are followers of Shriji Maharaj. Though you have come today you are Muktas. None of you have any kind of desire. A hundred thought form Murti of Sadguru Shri Gopalanand Swami went to fetch a devotee of Lunawada. Those Murtis were already there in the temple of Lunawada. The devotees came there for darshan. They saw a hundred Murtis sitting there. On seeing this, they said, “Gopalanand Swami is only one and you all hundred look like Gopalanand Swami. Who are you?” The Murtis replied, “We are thought form of Shri Gopalanand Swami. We have come to fetch a devotee.” Saying so they disappeared. Thus your thought forms are also moving around. You take several devotees with you and also bring them back. You have got such power but I have prevented it from use. I do not allow you to let it know. You have been kept unaware about it. I get such work done from you, but do not allow you to know. You came with me in Methan to fetch Keshavji and you asked to keep him here. While going from Jetalpur to Dabhan you also gave darshan along with me to Dayabhai of Navagam. You were also with me when I took Bapubhai of Kanotar and that Dayabhai with me. Wherever I go to fetch devotees, you are there with me at all places- such is your power. Today saints come in the Satsang without preaching. Shriji Maharaj sent for eighteen saints by writing a letter. They were better than Sundarjibhai and those who are today are better than those eighteen.”
After talking that much, Bapashri and saints went to bathe at Kakarwadi. After taking bath they performed mental worship sitting under babul tree and got up. Then he met every one and started journey. Bapashri took saints near the crop of millet in Lakhaiwadi and said, “When you came formerly the growth of millet was small and today it has become so big. In the same way you have grown like this millet after coming here. Just as crop grows by watering it similarly you have grown with my talks in the form of water.” Then Swami Ishwarcharandasji said, “Please allow them to go after feeding them with the prasad of ponk (roasted green grains of millet) of this millet.” Then all came to the temple. || 27 ||
