Sanskrit Original
Koī kūve paḍavā jāto hoy tene āḍā hajāro māṇas fare to paḍavā de nahi, tem satpuruṣh ne satshāstranā bahu shabda sāmbhaḷyā hoy to viṣhay-mārgthī rakṣhā kare. Ane game evu avaḷu māṇas hoy tene paṇ vash karīe, e to āvaḍyu joīe; tene namī daīe, tenu rākhīe, tene pūchhīe, e anusāre vash karīe e to kaṭhaṇ nathī; jo āpaṇe enā thaī jāīe to te āpaṇā thaī jāy.
If someone is going to jump into a well and thousands of people surround him, they will not allow him to jump. Similarly, if one has listened to discourses from the Satpurush and scriptures, they protect one from the path of decline in the form of worldly pleasures. And even an obstinate person can be controlled if one knows how to do it. If one bows to him, looks after him and asks his opinion he can be controlled. That is not difficult. Since, if we become his, he will become ours.
