Gunatit Discourses:

In the samaiya gatherings at Vadtal, Gopalanand Swami and Nityanand Swami let only Swami talk. Whenever Swami talked about the Purushottam form of Maharaj, Gopalanand Swami used to rejoice and say, "Oh ! Swami is Akshar Brahman incarnated so the bonds of Vedas cannot bother." Whenever Swami used to talk on topics like renunciation, or observance of strict rligious rules by citing authorities from scriptures like Dharmamrut, Nishkam Shuddhi, Shikshapatri, Vachanavidhi Chosathpadi, etc., many sadhus were pushed to an ecstatic condition of renuciation and used to renounce the six rasas. This made Nityanand Swami very happy and he used to say, "Nishkulanand Swami has severed the roots of five sensuous pleasures by writing volumes, and Gunatitanand Swami does it by his discourses." In this way Swami was considered to be matchless in the entire satsang for spreading devotion for Shriji Maharaj, religion, knowledge, vairagya and Ekantik Dharma Everyone could visualise Shriji Maharaj in Swami due with to his exquisite Brahmi sthiti constant communion with Maharaj.
Once Nityanand Swami had come to Junagadh to remain in the company of Swami. But Swami made him talk in the gatherings. So once Nityanand Swami told him, "We have come here to hear your talks and you are keeping yourself busy with the temple affairs." Swami said, "My talks are such that they would not suit everyone." Nityanand Swami said, "You are a Jogi and, therefore, your talks would suit everybody." Then Swami replied with the following anecdote : "In my pre-initiation days I had gone to buy a pair of bullocks. One old woman had a pair of bullocks. One cost sixty koris and the other only thirty koris. Both the bullocks were white and similar in other respects and yet, there was a difference in price. So I enquired about the reason. The old woman replied, 'The costlier one was made to suck milk from his mother in my presence. He would never shirk however much burden he has to carry, and the less costly one was purchased by me from some one else and therefore I can't vouchsafe for him. I purchased the pair from her." So she bowed to the bullock which she had made feed on his mother's milk, in her presence and requested him not to put her to shame. Similarly, Shriji Maharaj, without seeing, day and night, has explained to us His glory through His talks. Besides that, He has also delighted us through His darshan. So now we should not try to shirk from His worship and orders, and if we do so He would feel ashamed." In this way Swami talked about many things and Nityanand Swami was pleased to listen to them.
