Swami has narrated that Shriji Maharaj has said, "For a devotee like Sachchidanand Swami..." Gopalanand Swami has narrated this. This is what Maharaj had said. In Swami's Ni Vato, it often says, "Shriji Maharaj said this." Swami used to talk about what Shriji Maharaj had said. So, Maharaj had said this, and Gopalanand Swami is narrating that. Swami has narrated that Shriji Maharaj has said, "Even if the entire universe is destroyed for a devotee like Sachchidanand Swami, God would not be bothered." So, Maharaj had said only this much. Then, Swami gave another example of Shatadhanva. Maharaj said that even if the entire universe has to be destroyed for Sachchidanand Swami, it is still not enough. Such a devotee he is of Maharaj. If someone has faith or love for Maharaj, then Maharaj says, 'Ye yatha mam prapadyante tams tathaiva bhajamyaham.' God worships them even more. If someone becomes His true devotee, and if someone dedicates themselves to Him, then God is ready to serve them with everything He has. Such is the extremely merciful nature of God. 'Protector of those who surrender,' 'Protector of devotees' are His titles. So, Maharaj says, "We look for opportunities to see what We can do for him." Just as a needy person looks for an opportunity, thinking, 'Here is an opportunity, let's enter.' Similarly, God looks for opportunities to serve such a devotee. He waits, 'When will I get a chance to serve him so that I can make him happy?' The devotee is also such that he does not want anything, so God has to wait. If it were someone like us, it would be just opportunities, opportunities, opportunities everywhere. God would never be free. Sachchidanand Swami was a saint with unparalleled love for Maharaj. In Bhaktachintamani, Sadguru Sadguru A great sant.
