While accompanying Kripanand Swami, Swami and other saints arrived at the village Juna Savar on the banks of the river Shetrunji. There were light showers of rain. The saints began their round of collecting grains from the village. The ruler of that village Kathi Darbar, Uga Khuman, had become an enemy of the satsang because he was misguided by some antagonistic ascetics. When he came to know that some saints of Swaminarayan had come to the village, he ordered his men, "Drive those sadhus away. Tell the children to hurl dung and stones at them so that they never again set their feet in this village." Under the orders of the ruler, the servants of the state stopped the sadhus from collecting grain, and ordered them to go away. When the sadhus started leaving, these servants not only made children hurl dung, stones, etc., at the sadhus, but even made them beat the sadhus. However, the sadhus did not utter a word nor did they wish any ill. These saints, who had no enemies and were reluctant even to hurt an ant, came out of the village chanting the name of Maharaj and sat under the shade of a tree on the river bank. How wonderful was their tolerance. Words can be tolerated; but how could such humiliation and physical violence be tolerated?
"Galidanam tadanam cha krutam kumati bhirjanaihi,
Kshantavyameva sarvesham chintaniyam hitamcha taihi."
These saints properly observed these orders of Maharaj. People of the village who were on their way to fetch water saw this. So they talked among themselves, "See, how cruel is our ruler that he has insulted poor sadhus by driving them out of the village? It is obvious that God would not give him a son." The saints heard this.
Swami had an idea that the ruler was antagonistic out of misunderstanding, and so asked the others to make a resolve that he should have a son who would become a satsangi and would invite them to his palace. Kripanand Swami and other saints favoured this idea and they unanimously resolved so, and prayed to Maharaj.
All the saints were happy to note that Swami entertained such pure intentions. In this way, the group of saints left for another village, after blessing the persecutor.
