Ek divas Mahārāje mune kahyu je, “Manḍaḷ bāndho.” Tyāre hu kāī bolyo nahi. Tyāre sāmu joīne kahyu je, “Sādhu to pānch rākhīe jethī jīvnu kalyāṇ thāy.” Em kahīne kahevā mānḍyā je, “Sādhu to das rākhīe, vīs rākhīe, pachās rākhīe, so rākhīe ne sādhu to base rākhīe.” Pachhī to hu bolyo nahi, paṇ ante em karyu. E vātnī dīrghadarshīne khabar paḍe, āpaṇe to kāī jāṇīe nahi. Are, ek divas Mahārāje mune pūrvāshrammā hato tyā āvīne kahyu je, “Shu karo chho ne shu karavā āvyā chhīe? Ne brahmatej to sukāī gayu chhe!” Em kahīne dekhāṇā nahi. Te divasthī jīvnu kalyāṇ thāy tem ja karīe chhīe ane ek divas Mahārājne chār prashna puchhāvyā, temā ek to dhyān karavu, bīju ātmāpaṇe vartavu, trīju māndānī sevā karavī ne chothu Bhagwānnī vātu karavī.

Footnotes: 1. 1. Jamp vaḷato ja nathī, aviratpaṇe akhanḍ chālu rahe chhe.
One day, in my pre-initiation days, Maharaj appeared and asked me, “What are you doing and what have you come to do? The light of Brahman has become diminished.” After saying this, he disappeared. Since that day, whatever I have done has been for the moksha of the jivas. One day, I asked Maharaj four questions about which duty I should concentrate on: first, to engage in meditation; second, to behave as ātmā; third, to serve the sick; or fourth, to talk about God. Of the four, which is the best for me? Please tell me. Then Maharaj said, “Talks of God are the best.” So from that day, I began to talk. And now, day or night, there is no break, so that the jivas become brahmarup.
