SOnce while talking to the Darbar of Gondal, Abhesinh, Swami said, "Darbar, you must have seen bananas growing on a banana tree but here we find a banana growing on a cactus. That boy, who is pounding mortar, is the son of an ordinary tailor but he has surpassed even theYogis in attaining yoga. He remains in meditation exercising complete control over all his senses in all the three states of the mind."
The Darbar was aware of Pragji Bhakta's devotion for Swami. He said, "You have rewarded his service."
"He is yet to be rewarded. He is an Anadi bhakta (eternal devotee). Otherwise he would not have been able to serve like this. An ordinary person can't serve the Lord in this manner," said Swami, explaining the greatness of Pragji Bhakta to the Darbar.
At the time of Hutashani Samaiya (Holi festival) the Swami talked to thousands of saints and devotees about the divine teachings of Shriji Maharaj and explained to them the benefits of sant-samagam (communion with the saints). Then he offered the fagva prasadi of grams, popcorns and dates to everyone. Swami did not see Pragji Bhakta there, so he sent for him.
When he came, Swami offered him what was left. He could offer him only gongada (corn which had not popped). Pragji Bhakta became very happy to receive the special prasad. Manji Thakar, who was present at that time wondered, "What a strange man! Swami is ready to bestow everything upon him. But here is a man who instead of asking for precious things, is pleased with the remainder of prasad." In order to make other people realise how precious the prasad received from Swami Gunatitanand's own hands was, Pragji Bhakta approached Swami and said, "Swami is this a token of your divine favour?" "Yes, I am pleased with you," said Gunatitanand Swami.
While putting one gongada in his mouth Pragji Bhakta asked, "Swami, have I overcome kama (lust)?"
Swami said, "Yes, indeed." Then he put all the grains one after another in his mouth and asked "Swami, am I purged of all my doshas (moral flaws)?"
Swami smiled and said, "Yes, they have been reduced to ashes." The Swami continued, "If from half a grain of sesame seed of Vithalnathaji's prasad, one could produce eighty-four Vaishnavas, here is maha prasad. Pragji is pure at heart and is in communion with the great and the mighty."
