Swamini Vato Prakaran 2 Vaat 81 · 2 · Verse 81
Sanskrit Original
Bhagwān tathā Moṭāne jīv āpī dīdho hoy evo thayo hoy tene paṇ gnān shīkhavu, ne te shīkhyā vinā to na āvaḍe. Ne Mahārājno e ja mat je, gnānī thāvu, bākī bīju to thāy chhe ne thāshe, paṇ e karavānu avashya chhe; ne koī rīte koī padārthe ā jīvnu pūru thāy nahi, ne gnān thāy to kāī adhūru ja na rahe.
Even one who has surrendered his jiva to God and the great Sadhu has to acquire spiritual knowledge, since without acquiring it, it is not possible to know. And that is Maharaj’s belief – to become spiritually wise. Otherwise, other activities take place and will continue to do so. But this knowledge must be acquired. No object will satisfy this jiva, but if spiritual wisdom is attained, nothing remains to be acquired.
