Vaat 1.20
Swamini Vato Prakaran 1 Vaat 20 · 1 · Verse 20
Sanskrit Original
Mokṣhnā dātā to Bhagwān ne Sādhu e be ja chhe. Ne vairāgya chhe te to viṣhay sāthe ver karāve paṇ Bhagwānnu kām na kare, ne ātmaniṣhṭhā chhe te sarvemāthī prīti toḍāve paṇ Bhagwānnu kām na kare, ne dharma chhe teṇe karīne sukhī rahe paṇ Bhagwānnu kām na kare. Māṭe mokṣhnā dātā to Bhagwān ne Sādhu e be ja chhe māṭe eno avaguṇ na levo.
Only God and his holy Sadhu can grant moksha. Detachment cultivates enmity towards material pleasures but does not do the job of God; ātmā-realization breaks attachment from everything but does not do the job of God; and by dharma one remains happy but it also does not do the job of God. Thus, only God and his holy Sadhu give moksha. Therefore, do not find faults in them.
