Absorbed in the Person of Maharaj:

Moving from one place to another Swami came to Gadhada. Here Maharaj was breaking His fast of the eleventh day of the month of Ashadh. He was taking hotch-potch and curds in the room of Vasudevnarayan. All the saints who were sitting there expected to get prasadi from Maharaj. Only Gunatitanand Swami was busy with the darshan of Maharaj taking His meals, without any such expectation. Omniscient Maharaj knew it well that he was standing there, not tempted by the prasadi, but was drawn by the darshan of Himself. Maharaj called Swami and showed His pleasure by giving him prasadi from his thaal. All the saints could see the unique mutual tie of affection between Swami and Maharaj.
During this time 'the discourses on Ramanuja Bhashya, which is a commentary on Gita were held in Akshar-Ordi in the presence of Maharaj and other senior sadgurus. Once purani delivered a brilliant discourse, so Maharaj embraced him. Seeing this Brahmanand Swami said in a lighter vein, "You can't be so partial. You should embrace all the members of the audience who are present here in the discourses." Next day the news spread that Maharaj would embrace all; so there was a huge crowd in the audience. Then Maharaj asked Nityanand Swami to find out how many from the audience had understood the discourse. After the discourse Nityanand Swami asked everyone, and those who did not understand anything were requested not to come the next day. He asked Swami also. Swami passionately replied, ''Oh! What a discourse! It is unprecedented." So Swami was permitted to come. Thereafter Muktanand Swami asked Swami, "You really understood it?" Then Swami replied in the same passionate tone, ''I am infatuated only by the darshan of Maharaj." Seeing such yearning for darshan, Muktanand Swami was happy in his heart of hearts.
