In the Samvat year 1876, on the ninth 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 Shreeji Maharaj said. “One, who has a sense of discrimination in our holy fellowship, tries to find his own faults regularly and looks for the virtues of God and His devotees. If the Lord or a saint tells him some harsh words he takes such words for his own good and does not feel hurl about the Lord or the saint. Such a person attains eminence in the holy fellowship day by day. And one, who is not so wise, thinks high of his own virtues as he progresses in the holy fellowship and as he hears the holy discourses, but when the Lord or a saint points out his faults he feels hurt about them and finds faults with them. Such a person goes down in the holy fellowship day by day. Ultimately he loses his prestige. Hence one should be free from pride of being virtuous. One should be brave and have full trust in God and his saints. By this one’s indiscrimination will vanish and one will attain great eminence in the holy fellowship.”
