But where there is a big difference, a person does not get confused. Where does confusion occur? Where there is a minor difference. When there is a minor difference and four or five such people are wandering around, then he wonders, "Where should I keep my faith now?" And he makes a mistake. So in a minor difference, a person's mind gets confused. And even if it is a minor confusion, its consequences are far-reaching. When a transgression occurs, even if it is minor, it does not allow the result to come. A transgression occurs, even if there are only two great souls. From the beginning, after Maharaj went to His abode, the atmosphere of Junagadh was very good. Gunatitanand Swami was there, Balmukund Swami was there, Narayandas Swami was there, until then the atmosphere was very good. It was considered male-dominated. And Vadtal and Gadhada, there were many great souls there. How many Nand saints of Maharaj? When Gopinathji Purani Swami went to study in Vadtal, there were about 30 Nand saints in Vadtal. So even then, in these two places, the atmosphere did not remain so much in comparison with this. What is the reason for that? Gunatitanand Swami Maharaj was also only one. And if there are many of them wandering around, then there is a lot of confusion. Because there is a lot of confusion, the next generation is not prepared. And there in Junagadh, no one had any confusion, only one role model. So the next generation was all prepared. So those who would keep the Nand saints behind, all became followers of Gunatitanand Swami. They all became such that they would leave the Nand saints behind, Madhavprasaddasji Swami and Balmukund Swami and Yogeshwar Swami and they were all like that, they became like that. Why? There was no confusion, there was only one. When Maharaj was there, no one had any confusion as to whom to become like. Maharaj was only one, so behind Him, as if a thousand Gods came. A thousand Gods were prepared. But those subsequent Gods could not make other Gods again. Why? There was too much confusion. Out of 500 Gods, which God to consider? There were 2000 Gods at that time. So out of 2000 Gods, whom to become like? So there was confusion. So a minor difference does not let a person get much result. And if there is only one, then the result comes. If there is only one, then the result comes. If that was the tradition of Bhuj, then they went to the other side of the ocean, so no one comes and goes there, so their tradition remained good. And because there is no confusion for anyone. Otherwise, Gunatitanand Swami was very powerful and there were saints in Bhuj, Vaishnavanand Swami and others, but they cannot be compared with Swami and Gopalanand Swami. Even if Gopalanand Swami himself was in Vadtal, such a generation was not prepared behind him. Otherwise, Maharaj, who was called Maharaj Himself, was so capable, yet the generation was not prepared. What is the reason for that? The confusion of the next generation. Not that his capability was less. The next generation has a lot of confusion. Everyone there was great. So he gets confused, "Now in this, if I keep faith in this one, will I become great, or if I keep faith in this one, will I become great?" And that minor difference cannot be caught. If the minor difference is not caught, then single-minded faith does not happen. And doubtlessness does not come. So that is very necessary. True. So what to do in that? If there is a minor difference? Catch it. Catch the minor difference. One who has a need will catch it. This is not caught by intellect. This is caught by need. A minor difference is caught by need. One who has a great need will catch it. And if there is too much intellect, then he says, "We know everything. I know this way and I know that way too." They forget the main thing. Like that. So it is not a matter of intellect, it is a matter of need. One who has a desire will catch that minor difference. If he does satsang satsang 1) True company. The practice of associating with Bhagvãn’s sant, other satsangis, the ãtmã, and the sacred shãstras, and also observing vartmãns and niyams. 2) Also refers to the sampradãy, which is the presence of good company.

Tap to open in glossary → In preparing the next generation, is the major role of the great saints, or do they have to explain to the next generation? I did not understand the question. In preparing the next generation, is the major role of the great saints or? It happens based on that only. Then the next generation does it, but they do it keeping him in target, right? When the next generation came after Gunatitanand Swami, Swami used to call them Gurumandal. Ramdas Swami and others were all saints of Maharaj, initiated by Maharaj. But still, when they were all in Junagadh, they used to explain the glory of Gunatitanand Swami.
