Shrimadji once stayed for a few days at vaso in spiritual retreat.
During this time, he met a few monks including Shri Lalluji Maharaj regularly, almost everyday, at a grassland about a mile away from the town, and spoke to them on religious matters, giving them spiritual guidance
On way to grasslands, Shrimadji once remarked, "Dharma by its very nature is like a diamond with miraculous power an a-chintya chinta-mani."
Shri Lalluji Maharaj asked the meaning of achintya chintamani.
Shrimadji answered, "The chinta-mani according to mythology is a mani, a jewel which produces the desired results only after you have made the necessary effort to ask for it.
As against this, Dharma, is a jewel with miraculous powers, that fulfils your desires, effortlessly, without your asking for it; it does not involve an effort on your part to even think of a particular desire, achintya.
In this sense, according to Shrimadji, Dharma was an achintya chintamani...
