Swamini Vato Prakaran 5 Vaat 50 · 5 · Verse 50
Sanskrit Original
Kalau kīrtanāt eno arth karyo je, Kaḷi Yugmā tamoguṇ-rajoguṇ ghaṇo, eṭale kīrtan gāvavā tathā bhajan karavu eṭale tamoguṇ pese nahi. Ne bhajan em karavu je, jem be hajār ghoḍāno vāj1 jāto hoy te sosaro2 koī nīkaḷī shake ja nahi, tem utāvaḷe bhajan karavu eṭale sankalp pesī shake nahi. Footnotes: 1. 1. Ghoḍānī vegvāḷī chāl. 2. Ārpār.
‘Kalau kirtanāt.’ The meaning of this is that, in Kali-yug there is a predominance of tamogun and rajogun, therefore, sing devotional songs and offer worship so that tamogun does not enter within. And sing devotional songs in such a way that worldly desires are unable to enter. Just as, when a troop of two thousand horses is marching by, no one can cross through their line; similarly, offer worship rapidly so that (worldly) desires are not able to enter.
