Moṭāno rājīpo hoy tenā antarmā sukh vartyā kare ne dehmā to sukh-dukh āve, teno to nirdhār nahi, bākī tene din-din pratye shraddhā vṛuddhi pāmatī jāy, ne dahāḍe dahāḍe vadhato jāy, em varte tyāre em jāṇavu je, ‘Moṭā rājī chhe.’ Ne jeṇe swabhāv mūkyo hoy ne mūkato hoy ne mūkavāno ādar hoy, te sarve upar Moṭānī draṣhṭi rahyā kare. Ne ek to so janme ekāntik thavāno hoy te ā janme thāy, ne ā janme ekāntik thavāno hoy tene ūtartāno sang thāy to so janma dharavā paḍe. Temā draṣhṭānt: jem das maṇ pāṇā sāthe ek maṇ lākaḍu bāndhe te lākaḍāne buḍāḍe, ne das maṇ lākaḍā sāthe ek maṇ pāṇo bāndhe te pāṇāne tāre, em sangmā bhed rahyo chhe.
If one has the blessings of the great Sadhu, inner happiness prevails. The body may experience both happiness and misery, there is no certainty about that. However, one whose faith increases daily and who progresses daily should understand that the great (Sadhu) is pleased. One destined to become enlightened after a hundred births will become so in this birth by the company of the Satpurush; and one destined to become enlightened in this very birth, will have to take a hundred births if he keeps improper company. To explain: if one kilo of wood is bound to ten kilos of stones, the wood will sink and if one kilo of stones is bound to ten kilos of wood, even the stones will float; similarly, there is a difference in company.
