• lalaji kshama ke to moortiman svaroop hi the. ek samay ve bhakt mandali sahit maharaja bhavanagar ke atithi the, rajadhani mean unake svagat-satkar mean b di chahal-pahal thi. door-door ke sant aur bhaktajan prasad pa rahe the. ek jatadhari sant ne lalaji ke hath se prasad pane ki ichchha prakat ki. lalaji ne unase vinamratapoorvak bhojan karane ki prarthana ki, par unhoanne bhojan ke pahale vastr maanga. lalaji ne hath jo dakar kaha ki ‘bhojan ke bad vastr-prapti sambhav hai.’ sant avesh mean a gaye, unhoanne bhaktaraj ke mastak par chimate se prahar karake kaha ki ‘tum santoan par shasan karana chahate ho?’ ve bina bhojan kiye hi chal p de. lalaji unake pichhe dau d p de, kaha ki ‘maharaj ! is sharir par ek chimata aur laga dijiye, yah adham isi ka patr hai.’ sant bhaktaraj ki kshama aur sahanashilata dekhakar chakit ho uthe. donoan b de prem se gale mile.

chamatkarik prasang

• ek bar lalaji bhakt mandali ke sath b de prem se bhagavan ka bhajan-kirtan kar rahe the. bhavavesh mean kabhi rote, kabhi hans p date the. bhajan samapt hone par ve svayan prasad vitaran karane lage. ek paradhi ne, jisaki jholi mean do mare hue pakshi the, kaha ki ‘maian tab tak prasad nahian looanga, jab tak ap yah n bata deange ki meri jholi mean kya hai.’ bhaktaraj ne b di vinamrata aur sadagi se uttar diya ki ‘do jivit pakshi haian.’ paradhi ne prativad kiya ki ‘ap bhagavan ke bhakt hokar asaty bhashan kar rahe haian, donoan pakshi sabere hi meri bandook se mar chuke haian.’ bhaktaraj ne kaha ki ‘bhagavan ka bhajan amrit se bhi badhakar hai, amrit pine vala kabhi nahian mar sakata.’ paradhi ki jholi ke donoan pakshi jivit nikale aur jholi kholate hi akash mean u d gaye. usane bhakt lalaji ki charan-dhooli mastak par chadha li, vatavaran unake jayanad se ahadit ho utha.
