Moṭā santno nirantar prasang rākhavo, temāthī koīk same kevī vāt thaī jāy. “Manne māravu paṇ tenu kahyu na karavu, jem bakarāne moḍhāmā jav bharīne māre chhe1 tem karavu,” em Mahārāj kahetā. Ne Bhagwān ne Moṭā Sādhu āgaḷ namī devu ne potānī samajaṇ mūkī devī ne e to bahu dayāḷu chhe te bahu rakṣhā kare. Footnotes: 1. 1. Kasāī loko bakarāne māratā pahelā tene jav khavaḍāve.
“Always keep the profound association of the great Sadhu, since from it, at any time, some essential talk may arise. Control the mind, but do not act as per its wishes. Do just like when a goat’s mouth is filled with barley grains and is then killed.”1 This is what Maharaj used to say. Also, bow before God and the great Sadhu and give up one’s own ideas. They are very merciful and will protect us abundantly. Footnotes: 1. 1. Before sheep are killed, the butchers feed them barley. So, they are too busy to realize that they are about to be killed. Similarly, keep the mind busy with thoughts of God so that it does not stray into worldly thoughts.
