          'The 
              Spiritual Light has Declined' 
            Mulji Bhakta was 25-years 
              old. Once, whilst he was labouring in his farm, Shriji Maharaj appeared 
              to him in his divine form and inspired, "For what purpose have 
              you come and what are you doing! The spiritual light (in the world) 
              has declined. Now leave (home)." Immediately Mulji Bhakta proceeded 
              towards Gadhada to meet Shriji Maharaj.  |

              Ants Attain Moksha 
            One evening, Vashram 
              Suthar (a devotee of Bhagwan Swaminarayan) went to his farm. On 
              seeing thousands of ants issuing from an anthill, he thought as 
              to how could the ants' souls be associated with the personified 
              forms of Bhagwan Swaminarayan and his divine abode (Mulji Bhakta) 
              to become blessed with moksha! As soon as Vashrambhai wished expressed 
              his wish, he saw countless divine vimans (flying machines) descending 
              with the parshads of Vaikunth. The ants were blessed with divine 
              forms to ascend in the vimans to the abode of Vaikunth. Vashrambhai 
              was over whelmed at this divine vision. On returning home, he narrated 
              what had happened to Shriji Maharaj. Maharaj revealed that he had 
              come from Akshardham with his divine abode (Mulji) to redeem countless 
              souls. "Today you had wished for the moksha of the ants, but 
              if you had done so for all the souls of this 'brahmand', then by 
              my grace they would have been blessed with moksha."  |
