Shri Gokulnathji's Hasya Prasangs: Prasang - 28

Big (those with high-level thoughts) People Act/Behave According to the Requirements for Prabhu’s Sukh (Mota Prabhuna Sukhna Vichare Vatte Che):

On one Janamashtami day, one Narayandas Brahman was there, he asked Shreeji as follows…Maharaj, Janamashtami is said ‘Nirahaar’ ? at that time Shreeji said “yes”. Then he (Narayandas) said, Raj accept the Beeda… then App said ‘No’ . Then the other fellow said, that at times I have seen (him taking bida), then Shreeji said, maybe you have seen, but we have not. The reasoning behind the other fellow’s asking and saying was that during utsav Shreeji takes Bidi and the response behind Shreeji’s bhaav was that he took the bidi having the utsav as a medium/excuse but for the sake of singing (kirtan), but not using/keeping the vrat as an excuse… that person has asked in relation to the vrat. Therefore, in Bhagvat-karya, we do anything that is useful in Bhagvat…

Vivechan – Shreeji takes bidi, during Utsav, in order to get good Raag in kirtan and so that Prabhu becomes prasan. That Brahman said what he did without understanding this. From this there is to understand that what the Mota (enlightened) do, that is saarthak. IN that the jeev-buddhi would not understand, even then we should keep high-level of dhristi/thought/vision and think (of it) Bhagvad-Iccha. The big-ones work with Prabhu’s happiness in mind.
