Sanskrit Original
Āg lagī chahu or avidyākī ati bhārī, Adho ūrdhva aru madhya dash dish bhujā pasārī; Viṣhay bhogvilās karmiko karma draḍhāyo, Kavi gunī panḍit jān tāhi le tahā ḍubāyo; Tehī vākjāḷ ḍārī vikaṭ narnārī āvṛuti kīye, Jan Mukund mad-machchhar lagyo māyā vash kar līye. Tyāre Rūpshankare kahyu je, “More to hu em jāṇato je, avidyā bīje ṭhekāṇethī āhī āve chhe ne have to em jaṇāṇu je, avidyā āhī ja rahī chhe.” Tyāre Swāmī bolyā je, “Avidyānu janma ja āhī chhe ane bīje ṭhekāṇe to avidyānu sāsaru chhe; te jyā tyā jaīne avidyāne potānu rūp ughāḍu karavu chhe ane amāre amāru swarūp ughāḍu karavu chhe ane bījānā manmā to em chhe je, ‘Jūnāgaḍhnu to Swāmī nahi hoy tyāre paḍī bhāngashe;’ paṇ Mahārājnī ne Moṭā Sādhunī draṣhṭi chhe to sarvoparī karavu chhe. Ne vījaḷīno jhabkāro dekhīne gadheḍīe pāṭu nākhavā mānḍī, teṇe karīne vījaḷī āḷasvānī chhe nahi, pāṭu nākhī nākhīne pag to bhāngī jāshe; tem avidyāe karīne potānā jīvnu to bhūnḍu karashe; ne Mahārājnu ne Moṭā Sādhunu kartavya hashe te to khoṭu nahi ja thāy.”
Āg lāgi chahu aur avidyāki ati bhāri, Adho urdhva aru madhya dash dish bhujā pasāri; Vishay bhogvilās karmiko karma dradhāyo. Kavi guni pandit jān tāhi le tahā dubāyo; Tehi vākjāl dāri vikat narnāri āvruti kiye, Jan Mukund madmachhar lāgyo māyā vash kar liye.1 Then Rupshankarbhai said, “Previously I believed that māyā came here from elsewhere and now I know that māyā lives here.” Then Swami said, “That is, māyā’s true nature is recognized here and elsewhere its true nature remains hidden. Māyā wants to go everywhere and show its own strength, and I want to reveal my own form. Some think that when (Gunatitanand) Swami is no longer in Junagadh, everything will collapse, but with the grace of Maharaj and the great Sadhu, we want to make this Satsang the best. On seeing the lightning, the donkey began kicking to stop it, but that is not going to stop it. In fact, by its repeated kicking its legs will break. Similarly, through ignorance, one’s jiva will be harmed. And the works of Maharaj and the great Sadhu are such that nothing wrong will happen.” Footnotes: 1. 1. The fire of ignorance rages wildly everywhere. This fire has spread above, below and in the middle; in fact, in all ten directions. Through (worldly) sense pleasures, it overpowers and drowns all people – poets, people of virtue, scholars and all others. The web of māyā is so treacherous that all men and women are entangled in it. Mukund says, “Māyā in the form of ego and jealousy has engulfed everyone.”
