Sanskrit Original
Āṭalī vāt to so janme paṇ na samajāy, māṭe ā vāt sau rākhajo. Ne be sārā sādhu ne traṇ sārā haribhaktanī sāthe jīv bāndhavo, to satsangmāthī na paḍāy. Ne kadāpi kām, lobh thoḍā ghaṇā rahī gayā hashe to fikar nathī. Te Mahārāje Vachanāmṛutmā kahyu chhe je, “Kadāpi kām, lobhno sankalp nahi hoy paṇ Bhagwānnā bhaktamā jīv na bandhāṇo to shu thayu? Evāne abhāve asur thāshe.” Māṭe samajavānī vāt to sārā Bhagwānnā bhaktamā jīv bāndhavo eṭalu ja karavānu chhe. Ne jhājhī vātnu ḍoḷ karīe tenu to e prayojan chhe je, ā prathā chalāvavī chhe, ne niyam paḷāvavā, te sāru karavī paḍe chhe.
These talks cannot be grasped even in a hundred lives, therefore all should keep these talks in mind. And attach the jiva (i.e. have close association) with two good sadhus and three good devotees so that one does not fall from satsang. And if traces of lust and greed still remain, do not worry. Maharaj has said in the Vachanamrut, “Even if one has no desires of lust and greed, but if one’s jiva is not attached to the enlightened Sadhu of God, what is the use? In the absence of this attachment one will become demonic.”
