28.1 In the Samvat year 1876, on Posh sud 14 [30th December, 1819], Shreeji Mahãrãj was sitting on a decorated bedstead on the veranda outside the room in line with the room of Shree Vãsudev-Nãrãyan, in Dãdã Khãchar’s darbãr in Gadhadã. He was dressed entirely in white clothes. At that time, the sãdhus had sat down to eat in His presence.
28.2 Shreeji Mahãrãj then said, “When a satsangi is likely to fall from satsang, vicious desires steadily flourish within him. At first, he begins to perceive avgun in all satsangis day by day. In his heart, he feels, ‘All of these satsangis lack understanding; only I have true understanding’. In this way, he considers himself to be superior to all. Such a person remains constantly uneasy, day and night. He cannot sit peacefully anywhere during the day; nor can he sleep at night. Moreover, his anger never subsides. In fact, he constantly smoulders like a half-burnt log. A person who behaves in this way should be known to be on the verge of falling out of satsang. No matter how many days he spends in satsang, he will never experience peace in his heart. Therefore, he will fall from satsang.
28.3 “Conversely, when a person is likely to advance in satsang, pure desires steadily flourish within him. Day by day, he perceives only gun in all satsangis; he views all bhaktas as superior to himself and considers himself to be insignificant. Moreover, he experiences the bliss of satsang in his heart twenty-four hours a day. Such characteristics indicate that pure desires have flourished. In fact, the more such a person practices satsang, the more he benefits. Eventually, he attains extreme greatness.”
28.4 Having delivered this talk, Shreeji Mahãrãj bid “Jay Sachidãnand” to all and returned to His seat.
