Sang karavāmā ne satsang karanārāmā paṇ bahu bhed chhe, kem je, Mahārājno sang keṭlāk sādhue karyo ne gṛuhasthe paṇ karyo, paṇ samajaṇmā anant bhed paḍyā chhe ne samāgam karavo ne bheḷu rahevu temā paṇ ghaṇo fer chhe. Jem gāynā āumā itaraḍī rahe chhe paṇ tene dūdhno svād āvato nathī ne vāchharu chhe te chheṭe rahe chhe to paṇ tene dūdhno svād āve chhe.
There is a big difference between merely keeping company (sang) and company based on proper understanding (satsang). Many sadhus and householders kept the company of Maharaj, but there are many levels in their understanding of the form of Shriji Maharaj. And there is a big difference between close association and merely staying together; just as ticks reside on the udders of a cow but do not get the taste of milk and the calf stays at a distance, yet still it gets to taste the milk.
