Thereafter, Nityãnand Swãmi asked, “Can a devotee who is of the lowest level eradicate his deficiency and become a devotee of the highest level in this very life, or not?”
Shriji Mahãrãj replied, “Just as one performs the mãnsi pujã of God, if one also performs the mãnsi pujã of the ideal Bhakta along with God, by offering him the prasãd of God; and just as one prepares a thãl for God, similarly, if one also prepares a thãl for God’s ideal Bhakta and serves it to him; and just as one donates five rupees to God, similarly, if one also donates money to the great Sant – then by performing with extreme affection such similar service of God and the Sant who possesses the highest qualities, even if he is a devotee of the lowest type and was destined to become a devotee of the highest type after two lives, or after four lives, or after ten lives, or after 100 lives, he will become a devotee of the highest calibre in this very life. Such are the fruits of the similar service of God and God’s Bhakta.”
