Sanskrit Original
Pratham sādhan dashāmā to pūru gnān na thāy, tyā sudhī sukh paṇ na āve. Te upar draṣhṭānt dīdhu je, jem thoḍo varsād thāy ne nadīmā navu-jūnu pāṇī bheḷu thāy te mūḷgu bagaḍe. Pachhī ghaṇo varsād thāy tyāre sarve navu pāṇī thāy; tem paripūrṇa gnān thāy tyāre sukh thāy.
Initially, while endeavouring, complete spiritual knowledge is not attained. And until complete spiritual knowledge is attained, happiness is not experienced. To illustrate this, Swami gave an example, “When it rains only a little, the new and old water in the river mix and the water is spoilt. Then, when there is heavy rain, all the water is renewed; similarly, when complete spiritual knowledge is obtained, then happiness is attained.”
