Sanskrit Original
Koṭi kalpnā pāsh lāgyā chhe te hamaṇā Bhagwānmā joḍāvā jaīe chhīe paṇ māyāmā joḍāī javāy chhe. Ne jyāre gnān thāshe tyāre māyāmā joḍāvā jāshu to paṇ Bhagwānmā joḍāī javāshe. Ne hamaṇā to indriyu-antahkaraṇnā bhāvthī mukāīne Sādhumā joḍāvu ne Sādhu Bhagwānmā joḍshe, ne potāne baḷe chhūṭavā jāy tem vadhu bandhāshe.
The impressions of tens of millions of years have been made on the soul. At present we try to unite with God, but instead we are drawn towards māyā. But when spiritual knowledge is attained, even if we try to join with māyā, still we’ll be drawn towards God. For now, rise above the feelings of the senses and inner faculties and closely associate with the God-realized Sadhu; and he will unite us with God. But if one tries to overcome māyā by one’s own strength, one becomes increasingly bound to it.
