Sanskrit Original
Mahārāj kahetā je, “Nām kenu laīe, paṇ āgaḷ to kalyāṇ kevā karyā chhe? To potānā sāmarthya pramāṇe karyā chhe ne keṭlek to moṭā moṭā kūvā khodyā1 chhe.” Footnotes: 1. 1. Dārū, māns, vyabhichār vagerene dhārmik swarūp āpī sharū karel adhogatinā pantho.
Maharaj used to say, “Whose name can we mention of those in the past and the type of liberation they granted? They liberated as according to their power, whereas, some dug great deep wells.”1 Footnotes: 1. 1. Swami is pointing out that some people promoted alcohol, meat, adultery, and other immoral conduct as a form of dharma and caused people to fall from dharma. Just as a blind person falls into a well, ignorant people followed these immoral ways believing to be dharma and fell from the path of God.
