All these are known for seva. Mugat Swami used to listen to katha earlier. Mugat Swami had done all the school construction and everything. And he would do it according to Swami's wish. Then he went to Junagadh. In Junagadh, he would arrange for continuous reading of katha Vachanamrut. By five in the morning, he would have finished his puja-path. If children came for darshan darshan Seeing. To see with admiration and devotion. To see Bhagvãn, a sat-purush, and murtis, with inner or outer vision, with the intention of receiving their grace and blessings. By doing darshan properly a bhakta develops affection for Bhagvãn, and Bhagvãn develops affection for that bhakta. [Sãrangpur – 2].

But if a child made a mistake in a kana matra, he would immediately catch him and say, "Hey, read it like this, not like that." He wouldn't be looking at the book for the kana matra. So we would think that we don't know what he is doing in his sleep, whether he is sleeping or listening to katha, we don't know. And in the afternoon and early morning, by five o'clock in the morning, his katha listening would have started, and the Vachanamrut would be read until everyone finished their puja-path. So when I was in Junagadh, we would be sitting there, and we would think that Swami was sleeping. But if a child forgot to pronounce a dot of a kana matra, he would immediately say, "Not like this, but like this." So he had such a deep understanding of katha-varta. And because of this, Maharaj said that those involved in activities appear somewhat unappealing. So they don't appear very devout. One who is involved in activities may not appear very devout, but at the time of death, whatever vasana one has, that manifests. At the time of death, whatever inner state one has, that immediately becomes manifest. So all these, in their final stage, Swami said that they keep doing mandir mandir Temple.

When Shastriji Maharaj would deliver katha, Swami would doze off a lot. If he was sitting in the mandir mandir Temple. Sacred Hindu place of worship.

He would never let a minute pass, nor would he be late or do anything like that. He would come to the katha. Katha. Meaning katha-varta. Finally, when Swami was ill, that brother Hasmukhbhai was sitting there. He said, "I want to listen to the Harilila Kalpataru." He himself used to read Vachanamrut a lot; he had acquired the Vachanamrut book by reciting it, which Dharmaswarup Swami (who had gone to Dham) had done, and he would continuously recite it. And if someone was there, they would read; otherwise, he himself would study and read Vachanamrut. But he said, "I want to listen to the katha of Kalpataru." So for Kalpataru, one brother was Hasmukhbhai, and who was the other? Sant Sant A sãdhu. A tyãgi. In the Vachanãmrut, sant refers to sat- purush. Tap to open in glossary → They decided that they would narrate the Kalpataru to him. The whole day, starting from when he woke up in the morning until evening. So, the katha of Kalpataru. So all these Sants, their entire lives were spent in seva, indeed, it was spent in seva. But still, they had extreme nishtha in katha-varta and in the Satpurush. Because of this, the results of atma-bhav, mahima, becoming nirvasanik from the world, and attaching oneself to Bhagwan were visible. Such were they. And there were also individuals in our Gurukul who did even more seva than them, even more seva. But there was no change in them. There were also Sants who did more seva of the factory than Mugat Swami. There were also devotees who did greater, primary seva than Narayan Bhagat. But there was not much change in them. They are still the same. So in seva, Swami said in this context that one continuously does mandir mandir Temple. Sacred Hindu place of worship.
