What is the factor on earth against which God gives up! Where He
just forgets His own Godhood! It is nothing but His devotees before
whom God simply dissolves His very existence. Lord Swaminarayan
had too averred “ My Godhood lies in my devoutness for my
devotees” In present times, we find Swamishree too upholding the
same concept through His life.
Once, Swamishree was in Anirdesh. It was evening Arti time, hence
Swamishree was hastening to attend the Arti in the temple wherein
the middle of the door found a devotee who was to express his
issues and concerns to Swamishree and requested Swamishree to
spare just a minute. Swamishree said, sure but asked if it will do
if He meets him after the Arti. The devotee insisted for just a mintute,
hence Swamishree went with him in the room for a personal meeting
(khangi) which ultimately lasted for 25 to 30 long minutes(by the time
Arti would have been over). After giving full satisfaction and relief to the
devotee, Swamishree came out of the room and found His sevaks
with folded hands thinking about the naturalness of Swamishree.
Swamishree said “ I was going for darshan of Shree Thakorji (in
temple) but Thakroji Himself came down right here(in form of that
devotee)
What a presence of mind does He have! An incredible affection and
inclination for devotees. Let us too pray to the lord Swaminarayan
and Swamishree to generate similar importance of devotees in our life
as He prefers to be and reverence for Thakroji.
