Question 6

September 24, 2019

Answer 6

Sārangpur
In 2018 the bal-kishore karyakars of Jersey City, NJ made a symbolic and decorative smruti item for Swāmishri. The smruti item was a poster with all the karyakars’ pictures on it. In the center of the poster was a heart with a mirror in the middle of it. Internal flaws were written over the mirror to symbolize the flaws that reside in our hearts.
Mahant Swāmi Mahārāj received this smruti item on September 24th, 2018 in Sārangpur. Swāmishri symbolically wiped away those flaws written on the mirror with a cloth. He then looked in the mirror to symbolize that he had wiped away the flaws that reside in the karyakars’ hearts. By wiping the flaws away, the karyakars could look like Mahant Swāmi Mahārāj. Then Swāmishri was asked, “As you wiped away these flaws on the mirror, how can the faults in all of our hearts be wiped away?”
Swāmishri then wrote the answer on the cloth with which he wiped away the faults, “Gunātit guruonu dhyān ane emnā mā joḍān.” (““Actively thinking and remembering the Satpurush and developing a connection with him.””)
