Sanskrit Original
“Keṭlāk vāt em kare chhe je, devlok vageremā jāvu nathī ne alp viṣhaymā to levāy jāy chhe tenu shu kāraṇ? Ne te Akṣhardhāmmā jāshe ke nahi?” E prashnano Swāmīe uttar karyo je, “Agnān chhe tethī viṣhaymā levāy chhe paṇ pragaṭ Bhagwān tathā ā Sādhuno draḍh āsharo chhe to te Akṣhardhāmmā ja jāshe ne e pramāṇe āsharo nathī ne te upar pramāṇe vāt to kare chhe to paṇ te Akṣhardhāmmā nahi jāy ne jenī sāthe prīti chhe tenā dhāmmā jāshe.” Tyā draṣhṭānt dīdhu je, Gāyakvāḍno chhokaro mūḷā sāru rue paṇ rāj tene ja maḷashe.
“Some aspirants say that they do not want to go to Devlok, etc. But what is the reason that they are tempted by insignificant objects of pleasure? And will they go to Akshardham or not?” Swami replied, “Because of ignorance, one is tempted by worldly pleasures, but because one has firm refuge in manifest God and this Sadhu, one will certainly go to Akshardham. And one who does not have such firm refuge and yet talks as mentioned above will still not go to Akshardham. And whichever deity one has affection for, one will go to his abode.” Then Swami gave the example of the son of the Gaekwad (ruler of Vadodara) – that he may cry for a radish but only he will inherit the kingdom.
