Also sitting in the assembly was a pundit from Vadodarã. He said, “Mahãrãj, if you show a miracle to some worldly, eminent man then its impact will be very beneficial for the development of the Satsang fellowship.”
Thereupon Shriji Mahãrãj said, “I do not get along very well with such worldly, eminent men. After all, they have pride of their power and wealth, whereas I have pride of renunciation and bhakti. Thus, neither is in a position to yield to the other. Even if I did send some great man into samãdhi, then at most he would give some village or a part of his kingdom, neither of which I have the slightest desire for in My heart. Even if I were to wish for a village or a part of a kingdom for the sake of happiness, still when I close My eyes and contemplate upon God’s form, that bliss cannot be found even in a kingdom consisting of the 14 realms.”
