Sanskrit Original
Ek haribhakte prashna pūchhyo je, “Shūḷīe chaḍāvyo hoy to paṇ kem samaje to sankalp na thāy je, Bhagwān mukāve to ṭhīk, evī shī samajaṇ chhe?” Teno uttar karyo je, “E to Bhagwānne sarva-kartā jāṇe je, Bhagwān vinā bījā koīnu karyu thātu nathī, em samaje tene sankalp na thāy ne dhīraj rahe. Ne em na samaje te to thoḍākmā akaḷāī jāy ne dhīraj rahe nahi. Ā lokmā to Mahārājne paṇ vagar vānke dukh āvatā. Te ā lok ja evo chhe, tenu rūp jāṇī rākhavu.”
A devotee asked, “If one is about to be executed, what understanding stops one from entertaining a wish that it would be good if God comes to the rescue?” The reply, “He believes God as the all-doer and that except God nobody is able to do anything. Then, no wish will arise and forbearance will remain. And if one does not have this understanding even small things will cause one to become upset and impatient. On this earth, even Maharaj suffered misery without any reason. This world is like that. Its nature (that it brings misery) should be known.”
