"Dharma, Is a Jewel With Miraculous Powers..."





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...
