The glory of great people lies in their very living. The divine virtues of Swami, described by Shriji Maharaj, revealed themselves on many an occasion. The year was Samvat 1869. Light showers of rain were falling from the sky on that dark night. The sky was covered with clouds and was illuminated with intermittent thunderbolts. All the saints had retired to their beds after a session with Maharaj, in which they had enjoyed the company and the face to face vision of Maharaj.


It was at that time that Gunatitanand Swami was standing under some shade beside the wall, half drenched, trying to save himself from the rain, in order to have the glimpse of Maharaj's darshan. Meanwhile Muktanand Swami came out of his room for some work and saw somebody standing there. So he enquired as to who it was. Swami modestly replied, I am Nirgunanand, I am standing here with a view to have the darshan of Maharaj when He returns from the place after the spiritual discourse."

Muktanand Swami was surprised when he saw Swami craving for the darshan. He thought to himself, "Oh! Look at his faith, he cares neither for his body nor for sleep. Although the image of Maharaj is constantly in his heart, he craves so much for face to face darshan." Muktanand Swami then went into his room but Swami stood there till late in the night, shivering in a half-drenched condition. When Maharaj returned, Swami had a glimpse in the light of a thunderbolt. Thereafter, he went outside the village and slept under the shade of a tree on the banks of the river Ghela. At that time there was no temple in Gadhpur. Maharaj and the senior saints slept in the darbar and the rest of the saints slept either on the river-bank or on the pavements.
