Swami in Trance (Upsam):

Once mahapooja was being performed in the assembly hall. Swami was also present. Suddenly Swami entered into a state of upasham. He would not utter a word. Occasionally he would mutter, "O King Rahugan, you are akovid." This news spread far and wide in all the directions. As a result of this, groups of saints and devotees began to pour into Junagadh. All of them were looking at Swami without a twinkle in their eyes. On the fourth day, after Thakorji woke up at four O'clock in the afternoon, Swami also got up on his own and took his seat in the assembly. All those who were present surrounded him. Swami looked at them and said, "At this hour you were all rapt for my darshan, since everyone of you had felt that Swami would abandon his body. If this state continues forever, you don't have to do anything else for salvation."
After this, narrating an anecdote he said, "Once upon a time, good clothes were produced in a particular place. The merchants used to send these clothes to other places Deciding to sell them in new places, the merchants went there with bales of clothes. When the merchants reached the place, they found that the people of the place wore only lion skins. The merchants offered their clothes at fifty per cent discount but no one was prepared to buy. So the merchants went back with the packed bales. of clothes. One of the merchants thought that those people should be taught to wear the clothes first, and then they would buy clothes of their own. So he distributed clothes free of charge. The people learned to wear clothes and eventually began to purchase also. The business of the merchants also flourished. Similary other saints had come from Akshardham carrying bales of knowledge about Maharaj's identity, but they remained in doubts about the worthiness of the people, and had to carry back their bales of knowledge; while I have started imparting the knowledge about Akshar and the supreme identity of Purushottam without discriminating between the worthy and the unworthy. Whether people understand these things or not is a different thing, but they will at least realise that Swami did spread this knowledge." After saying this Swami paused for a while, and then continued again, "Today you are looking at me with all your passions and instincts under control. If the same state continues forever, then your complexes such as the complex of doubt, complex of karma (action), complex of affection, complex of desire, complex of sex, complex of ego, etc., will melt away, and your just and passion will disappear." In this way Swami talked on many important topics. Later on, Swami had his meals after the darshan of Thakorji. Saints and devotees also had their meals after consecutive fasts for four days.
