Gadhadā III-11
Mumbai. Yogiji Mahārāj wrote an inspirational letter from Mumbai addressed to the entire Satsang community (which was published in the ‘Swāminārāyan Prakash’). Swāmishri emphasized the resolute understanding that one should develop by writing: “One should understand Vachanāmrut Gadhadā III-11 – ‘Understanding like that of Sitaji’. Even if [Bhagwan or Sant] rebuke us despite no fault of ours, we should only perceive their virtues. Therefore, all of us should read and perfect Vachanāmrut Gadhadā III-11. Then we will not see a single fault in anyone; we will feel that this Satsang is divine and experience profound peace. The important Vachanāmruts – Loyā 17, Kāriyāni 1, Gadhadā II-59 and Gadhadā II-28 – should all be perfected. The principle is to become a devotee of God with great humility. This is our only duty.”
[Brahmaswarup Yogiji Mahārāj: 3/205]
Yogiji Mahārāj said, “One should imbibe Vachanāmrut Gadhadā III-11, which is based on Sitāji’s understanding. Even if the Mota-Purush inflicts suffering without any fault of our own, we should not perceive flaws in him – only then will our satsang become firm.”

17 May 1963, Sardārgadh. Yogiji Mahārāj had Vachanāmrut Gadhadā III-11 read in the afternoon assembly and said, “This Vachanāmrut is worthy enough to be imbibed into one’s jiva. If one does this, one will be rid of all adversities. This is the one worth imbibing.”

24 February 1955, Sāring. In the evening assembly, Yogiji Mahārāj said, “Only when one perfects this Vachanāmrut – Understanding Like that of Sitaji – then one can be said to have gained a true understanding and one has truly realized that God is forever free of flaws.”

Yogiji Mahārāj said, “Two Vachanāmruts are worth imbibing in one’s life. Vachanāmrut Gadhadā II-7 and Gadhadā III-11: An Understanding Like that of Sitāji… One may not understand all the Vachanāmruts, but one should always refer to their favorite Vachanāmruts [of their inclination] and imbibe their words.”
[Yogi Vāni: 29/45]
Once, Brahmaswarup Pramukh Swāmi Mahārāj was in the village of Ranu. Situated in the village is a shrine dedicated to Tulajā Mātā, where Nilkanth Varni had halted for one night during his travels. When Swāmishri proceeded there for darshan, the mahant of that mandir showed Swāmishri a quilt that had been sanctified by Nilkanth Varni. Thereafter, he showed the Hindi version of the Vachanāmrut that he owned to Swāmishri and requested, “Please kindly write your blessings in this Vachanāmrut and write which is your favorite Vachanāmrut.” Swāmishri wrote: “Vachanāmrut Gadhadā III-7, Gadhadā III-11 and Vartāl 20.”
Saturday, 27 July 1957, Mumbai. During the discourse, Yogiji Mahārāj said, “Affection as described in Vachanāmrut Kāriyāni 11; faith (vishvās) as described in Vachanāmrut Gadhadā III-11; and becoming nishkapat (disclosing lapse in the five religous vows or doubts in conviction of God) as according to Vachanāmrut Loyā 5 - if these three attributes are perfected, one can become brahmarup.”
