SGunatitanand
Swami had bestowed upon Pragji Bhakta much divine grace and the
choicest of boons. For three and a half years Pragji suppressed
all mental and physical yearnings and served Swami with deep devotion
and love. Now Swami wanted him to reap the divine harvest of his
toil and service unto God. He asked Pragji Bhakta to sit in meditation
in a secluded place for nine days. At the end of meditation Swami
asked him, "Do you see anything?"
In the meditation he had seen the image of Swami which had not
disappeared even for a fraction of a second. Swami asked him to
remain attentive. On the tenth day of his meditation, he saw a
flood of light from which emerged the graceful divine figure of
Shriji Maharaj. He had donned the saffron clothes of a saint.
Pragji Bhakta's joy at the sight of the divine figure of Shriji
Maharaj was boundless. Tears started overflowing from his eyes.
He watched his Lord as if he were drinking him with his eyes.
Pragji Bhakta was completely overwhelmed by this divine experience.
He offered his prayers and said to the Lord, "O Master! O
Maharaj! I do not know how to express my feelings for such a great
favour shown to me. My Lord, I do not deserve this, even then
you have graced me by divine darshan."
Shriji Maharaj smiled and said, "Swami has earned you this
merit." Then he disappeared but now Pragji Bhakta began to
feel His divine presence for ever in his heart. In the meanwhile
Gunatitanand Swami came there, Pragji Bhakta fell at his feet.
He was greatly overwhelmed by what he had seen. He asked the Swami,
"Shriji Maharaj gave His divine darshan but why had he put
on the clothes of a sadhu?"
The Swami said, "He had appeared in the form of a sadhu but
now behold." So saying the Swami looked at him
and soon there appeared Shriji Maharaj again. He was in Akshardham
clad in his typical precious glittering dress wrought in threads
of gold and silver. From head to foot the Lord wore matchless
precious ornaments. His figure radiated rare divine light.
Shriji Maharaj spoke to him, "I am at the loving command
of Swami and you have won Swami's heart. Therefore from this moment
I am at your command too."
Pragji Bhakta's joy knew no bound. His heart danced with joy.
Now he was impatient to reveal Swami's greatness to the people.
He wanted to share his divine experience with the people. Thus
Swami fulfilled his promise which he had given three years ago.
Pragji Bhakta's moulding into a divine receptacle was complete.
He was filled, full to the brim with brama-ras (divine nectar).
Now Swami exhibited his divine power and grace through Pragji
Bhakta. He observed, "This Pragji is such a rare devotee
that people will accept him as their guru even if he does not
desire so. He serves and prays incessantly."
Thus he appointed him as a guru of all his devotees. He bade Pragji
Bhakta to preach and purify all the devotees. He commanded him
to reveal and establish the swarup (manifestation) of Mul Akshar
in the satsang, and asked him to make people fearless by giving
a divine assurance that they shall not perish if they worshipped
Shriji Maharaj.
By coming into contact with the paras (philosopher's stone) he
himself had now become a paras. Now he had no fear. He started
telling people, "Gunatitanand Swami is the manifestation
of Mul Akshar, the divine abode of Shriji Maharaj." He intuitively
learnt about the problems of the people and led them to Swami
for redemption. Word went round the entire satsang (the divine
fellowship) that Swami fulfilled all the wishes of Pragji Bhakta.
Pragji Bhakta's father left his mortal body and went to Dham.
Pragji Bhakta was reluctant to go to Mahuva but Gunatitanand Swami
asked him to pay a visit. He was returning to Mahuva after four
years. There he stayed in the temple and talked to haribhaktas
about the greatness and divine power of Gunatitanand Swami.
