Sachchidanand Swami an ardent staunch devotee having excessive mad love. He also used to see and hear Lord in any stage and in any work. If he could not see Lord, he used to become mad. Then he used to wander everywhere asking the whereabouts of Lord, to animals, trees etc. People used to tie him and shut him in a house. Even then, he used to get out freely. He had no bondage of anything. He used to pass through solid walls also.
Lord was at Dharampur near Valsad. Ladha Thakkar once asked him for food. Swami replied, "I had been to Dharampur in Samadhi. Lord fed me too much. "Ladha said,"It is 450 kms. away from here"You are boasting in the name of Samadhi. Sachchidanand Swami said, "You won’t trust me , see this."So saying he vomited and showed him Biranj, Dudhpak etc. fed by Lord in Samaghi.
He could not see anybody suffering or ailing. In the case of drought, people used to go to him for rain. Only by a shout in the name of Indra, it would start raining heavily. He is famous in the Sampraday as the Aishvayra Murti, the master of the powers.
Jiva Khachar of Gadhda once doubted and commented upon the incident of Durvasa who ate up the one thousand dishes of food. After some days, there was a festival at Gadhda. Jiva Khachar prepared sweets to feed all the Saints. Since Sachchidanand Swami was staying and working at Radha Baug, Lord asked Jiva Khachar to feed him first and to let him go. Jiva Khachar took him to the room where the sweets were kept. He opened and asked Swami to eat as much as he could. Swami opened his mouth and the sweets started to go gradually in it. After some time, the room was empty. Jiva Khachar was very much surprised. Both came to Lord. Lord asked Jiva Khachar, "Have you fed him ?"Sachchidanand Swami replied, "I am yet hungry."Lord told Jiva Khachar, "Not to doubt in the scriptures written by the great people. "Jiva Khachar fell at His feet, He had to prepare sweets again for all.
Sachchidanand Swami, An ideal love : Once Lord asked Sachchidanand Swami, "How is your love towards me ?"Swami replied, "I have known you as the cause of all the causes, Parabrahma Parabrahma, the Almighty God Supreme. So without any cause or without any fault of mine, if you give a big hammer in the hand of any of these devotees and ask them to crush my knees and ankles with it, afterwards you don’t give or don’t allow to give any medical treatment even then I won’t feel ill of you or any of the devotee who would have crushed my knees and ankles. I won’t even leave this courtyard and go elsewhere to beg. I would remain here only and would collect the offal thrown away in the dunghill or dustbin to eat. Why so ? I know. There are no such type of devotees or saints anywhere. There is no God Supreme except you. There is no source of ultimate redemption anywhere else." |
