Swamini Vato Prakaran 2 Vaat 13 · 2 · Verse 13
Sanskrit Original
Indriyārām ne arthārāmanī joḍe āsan kare to game tevo hoy tenu paṇ ṭhekāṇu na rahe, ane vairāgyanu chheṭu chhe; kem je, viṣhaymā rāg chhe. Ne ātmagnānnu paṇ chheṭu chhe; kem je, jīv dehmā jaḍāī gayo chhe. Māṭe have to ek dharmane viṣhe ne bījī Bhagwānnā swarūpne viṣhe niṣhṭhā, e be vāt mukhya rākhavī.
Whoever one may be, if one associates with a person who craves for sense pleasures, possession of wealth and worldly objects, one is deviated from Satsang. And attainment of detachment is far off, since desires for material pleasures remain. Ātmā-realization is also far, since the jiva is closely welded with the body. So now, keep resolute faith in, first, dharma and, second, the manifest form of God. Keep these two ideas foremost in one’s mind.
