Sanskrit Original
Chār vātmā sukh chhe. Temā ek to Bhagwānnī mūrtinī smṛuti, bīju Sādhuno samāgam, trīju sadvichār ne chothu to jīve viṣhaynu sukh mānyu chhe e to dukhrūp chhe; ne sukh to traṇ vātmā ja chhe. Ne viṣhaymā sukh chhe evī to koī moṭāe kalam mūkī ja nathī ne ātmā rūpe vartavu e to desh ja nokho chhe. Temā kāmādik doṣh ja nathī, jem Gujarāt deshmā pṛuthvī khode temā pāṇo ja na maḷe tem.
Bliss lies in four things. First, remembering the murti of God; second, company of sadhus; third, noble thoughts; and fourth, understanding that the worldly objects, which the jiva believes to be pleasurable, are a source of misery. That there is happiness in worldly objects has not been stated by any of the great (Sadhus). And to act as the ātmā is a totally different experience. In it, there are no faults, such as, lust, etc. Just as one digs the soil of Gujarat and does not find stones, similarly, there are no faults in this experience.
