In the Samvat year 1876, on the fourteenth day of the bright half of the month of Margashirsh, Shreeji Maharaj was seated in the Darbar of Dada Khachar in Gadhada. He had put on all white garments. Saints and devotees from various places had gathered before Him in an assembly.
Then Brahmanand Swami asked, “Maharaj, what is the nature of vasana?” Shreeji Maharaj replied. “The desire prevailing in one’s heart for objects one had enjoyed, or seen, or heard about, in the past is called vasana. The desire arising for enjoying the objects which have not been enjoyed at all is also called vasana. “There upon Muktanand Swami asked, ‘who can be called an ekantik bhakta [a single minded devotee]?” Shreeji Maharaj replied, “One who does not desire for anything except God and worships Him, identifying himself with Brahm is called an ekantik bhakta”.
