Sanskrit Original
Pratham sādhankāḷmā to pūru gnān thāy nahi tyā sudhī satsangnu sukh āve nahi. Te kenī peṭhe? To jem pratham thoḍo varasād varase tyāre nadīmā navu-jūnu pāṇī bheḷu thāy te mūḷagu bagaḍe. Pachhī jyāre ghaṇo varasād thāy tyāre sarve navu pāṇī thāy, tem bahu samāgam karatā karatā satsangnu sukh āve chhe.
During one’s initial endeavours, until complete knowledge is attained, the bliss of satsang is not experienced. What is this like? At first when only a little rain falls, new and old water mix in the river with the result that the water is spoilt. Then, later on, when a lot of rain falls, all the water is new. Similarly, by maintaining close association with the great Sadhu, the bliss of satsang is experienced.
