Swamini Vato Prakaran 1 Vaat 231 · 1 · Verse 231
Sanskrit Original
Ā vātu to anant sanshayne chhedī nākhe evī Puruṣhottam Bhagwānnī chhe. Dehne potānu rūp māne to temā badhāy dukh rahyā chhe ne dehne na māne to temā dukh ja nahi. Ne shāstramā bahu prakārnā shabda chhe, te sāmbhaḷīne bhramī javāy chhe ne māthu farī jāy chhe ne brahmarūp maṭīne dehrūp manāī jāy chhe. Ane shāstramā to badhāy shabda sarakhā hoy nahi, be ām hoy ne be ām hoy, paṇ ekdhārā hoy nahī; ne gnān thayu te kenu nām je, shāstra sāmbhaḷīne tathā koīnī vāte karīne ang farī jāy nahi, te pāku gnān kahevāy.
These talks of Purushottam Bhagwan (Supreme God) clear infinite doubts. Believing the body to be one’s true form harbours all miseries. And not believing the body to be one’s true form has no miseries at all. The scriptures contain many words which cause confusion. And when can we say that real spiritual knowledge has been attained? When, even after listening to the scriptures or hearing somebody’s talks, one’s understanding of that which is correct does not change – that is called firm spiritual knowledge.
