Te jem chintāmaṇi rahī ne bīju dhan sarve gayu paṇ kāī gayu nathī ne chintāmaṇi gaī ne bīju dhan sarve rahyu to paṇ kāī rahyu nahi; tem ja ek nishchay rahyo to sarve rahyu ne ante e ja rahevānu chhe.”
Vachanamrut Gadhada III-13 was read and then Swami talked on the question, “How can one remain God-centred even when circumstances become very bad?” Swami said, “If complete faith remains, that is itself a characteristic of one who is God-centred. Just as, if the chintāmani remains and all other wealth is lost, then nothing is lost; but if the chintāmani is lost and all wealth remains, then nothing remains; similarly, if firm faith remains then everything remains and in the end only that will remain and is the means of final moksha.
