A brief discourse from Pujya Maharaj Ji. Watch the video above to hear the full discourse.
Full Discourse
Once, to test Madhukar Shah in exactly this way, the townspeople mocked him. They draped a donkey in a naam dupatta with the naam written on it, put a thick tulsi mala around its neck, and applied the twelve tilak marks. When he came out after serving Thakur Ji, those people were standing right outside to see what he would do. The donkey prostrated fully before the Vaishnav devotees and did parikrama, as one would. Then people began to mock. Then, what great fortune: this is the miracle of my devotion, that even the donkey in my kingdom is a Vaishnav. And by prostrating fully, how would they come to know what rank of great soul this is? Madhukar Shah.. An upasak should honour even the smallest Vaishnav as they would honour great souls..
