Our Saints  -  Swarupanand Swami.
   
13. Swarupanand Swami. Ever engrossed in Samadhi
 


Swarupanand Swami was an ardent staunch devotee of Lord having uninterrupted stage of samadhi i.e., trance or meditation. He used to see Lord in perceptible human from in every stage and in every work, even in deep sleep. Mostly, he did not have consciousness of his own. In Satsangi Jivan a dialogue of Suvrat Muni and the King Pratapsingh is given. This Suvrat Muni and Swarupanand Swami were one and the same. He used to see and hear Lord even if he might be at a far distance.

Once, he came to Lord. Lord asked him, "How is the communion, and how far it has been spread up ?"He replied, "I have seen only one man that too under the neem tree. "Somebody doubted. When he has not seen the people, to whom he might have preached ?"Lord said, "You preach the people, they follow it, observe it and pray God accordingly then only people may get salvation, but for him people may get salvation only by seeing him lovingly because he is ever engrossed in God Supreme. "His vision is like that of the God.

People doubted, "If he is ever engrossed, in God, how he must be doing his daily routine work ? "Lord asked him to clear the doubt. Swami replied, "If a man takes an arrow to shoot, and a lemon is attached on its point. Wherever he aims, he can see the lemon, while the aim remains covered. It may strike or not but lemon is seen continuously. Similarly, my main aim is the divine from of Lord. The bodily routine work is less important. It is done, but uncertainly."

Lord praised him as of a very high stage known as Brahmaswarup.
