Swami has spoken, and when we live at home, we feel a lot of mahima, but when we live together, we do not feel it. Why is that? This is the answer to that question. Firstly, we lived as tyagis and became equal in dress, and moreover, by living together, whatever one's behavior is, it becomes known, so there is no weight. And those who are great souls, they behave according to the Shikshapatri, Dharmamrut, and Nishkam Shuddhi, and they talk to others to behave in the same way, so their mahima remains naturally. And he who knows the sat sat 1) True. Real. 2) Permanent, imperishable and unchanging. Is unbound by the past, the present, and the future. Tap to open in glossary → asat asat 1) False. 2) Temporary, perishable, and changing. Is bound by the past, present, and future. Tap to open in glossary → Mahima does not remain. Of the garabadiya. What else? When at home, there is a lot of mahima, but when living together, why does the mahima not remain? When living together, whatever one's behavior is, it becomes known, so there is no weight, and those who are great, who follow the Shikshapatri and Nishkam Shuddhi, their mahima remains. What did you remember? Those who live at home do not have mahima, and outside living together, sorry, those who live at home have mahima, and outside living together, they do not have mahima. So live in the courtyard. Do not live in the house. And live in the courtyard. What does that mean? That means before becoming a tyagi, there is mahima for the sadhu. When far away, there is mahima. That is what it means. That after becoming a tyagi, if he is far away, there is a lot of mahima. If they start living together, then it decreases. That is the question. So what answer did Swami give to that? When far away, there is mahima. If they live together like this, since there is an ashram ashram 1) Stage of life. There are four ãshrams in total, each with their duties and responsibilities – brahm-chãrya, grahastha, vãnprasth, and sannyãs. 2) Hermitage. Place where tyãgis live.

If his behavior is good, then his mahima remains. Whose? Ours or his? That is, if they talk about dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → Even then, if it still does not remain, even if his behavior is like that, it was said so. Maharaj said in Loya 17 that one who praises starts to criticize. So what does that mean? When far away, he praises a lot. Then when he comes close, he starts digging. Two people together. Digging cannot be done alone. Some spade is needed. So he needs all the tools. So taking some tool, he starts digging. So what did Maharaj say in that? Yes? If they live together and still the mahima keeps increasing, what was said for that? It is not said in this, but what was said in that? What was said? Tell me. If there is self-disregard and no dehabhiman, then mahima remains. Many things are said in that. But if there is no dehabhiman, then his mahima remains. That is said to be one's own side. What about the other? Both things are there, aren't they? It is said in this that avagun comes in two ways. One comes due to one's own flaw and one comes due to the other's flaw. When does it come due to the other's flaw? It comes when both live together. And when does avagun come due to one's own flaw? When does mahima decrease? So if they live together with their own flaw, even if it is their own flaw, the mahima decreases. And even if it is the other's flaw, the mahima decreases. So should we just stay far away or what to do? So what to do? Stay away from that. Far from the sadhu. Stay far away. Rishikesh Bhagat likes that a lot. Lonely. Sit in the lawn. Lonely is needed. Is it fun to live together or is it fun to be lonely? AI translation of the Gujarati transcript above, produced in the same pass that transcribed the audio, one English segment per Gujarati segment.
