Infinite
Faith:
Swami
moved on the earth in the manifested form of Brahman with a
single object: to make the numerous Jivas of this Brahmanda
realise the true identity of Purushottamnarayan and to redeem
them. In every event of his life it is easy to discern his singular
devotion towards Shriji Maharaj.
Once
on his way from Gadhada to Vadtal, Maharaj arrived at Barwala
with His group of saints and devotees. Here devotees offered
sweet balls to Maharaj and His group. Swami also got one sweet
ball in his share. He never cared for it. He was totally engrossed
in the person of Maharaj and craved for darshan every minute.
He had no taste for other interests of the world except an interest
in Maharaj. But Maharaj used to ride on the way and therefore,
it was necessary to run with the horse in order to have the
darshan. Moreover, according to the rules, a sadhu could not
go alone. Therefore, he must have the company of another sadhu
who would be prepared to run.
So Swami requested one sadhu, "I wish to run with the horse
in order to have the darshan of Maharaj. If you'll give me company
in running I'll give you my share of sweet ball." The sadhu
was tempted by the offer and consented. In this way Swami at
times ran through hedges, fields, thorns, etc. without careing
for his body constantly doing darshan. What yearning for the
darshan of Maharaj !
