Swamini Vato Prakaran 1 Vaat 80 · 1 · Verse 80
Sanskrit Original
‘Vachanāmṛut’ vanchāvīne temā bahu vāt karī ne bolyā je, “Āvu gnān to sange karīne ne kāḷe karīne thāy, jem vidyā bhaṇe chhe tem thāy paṇ anugrah thakī na thāy; ne anugrah kare to samādhi thāy, te Vignāndāsjīne Akṣhardhām dekhātu to paṇ be ghar karyā ne sādhue kāḍhyā tyāre nīkaḷyā. Māṭe gnān shreṣhṭh chhe.”
Swami had the Vachanamrut read, then talked a great deal. Then, he said, “This level of gnān is gained by the company [of a Sadhu] or over time, just as one studies to gain knowledge. However, [knowledge is not gained] by grace. If [God or the Satpurush] shower grace, then one may experience samādhi, just as Vignandasji saw Akshardham. Nevertheless, he married twice. He got out [of that relationship] only when the Sadhu pulled him out. Therefore, gnān is the best.”
