Vãsnã And Ekãntik Bhakta

Vachanamrut Gadhada I 11 · Chapter 1 · Verse 11

11.1 In the Samvat year 1876, on Mãgshar sud 14 [30th November, 1819], Shreeji Mahãrãj was sitting in Dãdã Khãchar’s darbãr in Gadhadã. He was dressed entirely in white clothes. A sabhã of munis, as well as haribhaktas from various places, had gathered before Him. 11.2 Then, Brahmãnand Swãmi asked, “Mahãrãj, what is the nature of vãsnã?” 11.3 Shreeji Mahãrãj explained, “A desire within the antah-karans to enjoy vishays that have been previously seen, heard, or encountered, is called vãsnã. Moreover, a desire within the antah-karans to enjoy vishays that have not previously been encountered, is also called vãsnã.” 11.4 Then, Muktãnand Swãmi asked, “Mahãrãj, who can we call an ekãntik bhakta of Bhagvãn?” 11.5 Shreeji Mahãrãj replied, “A person who has no vãsnã other than Bhagvãn, and who thinks himself to be brahm-rup as he offers bhakti to Bhagvãn, is known as an ekãntik bhakta.”
