Harishankarbhāīe pūchhyu je, “Pravṛutti mārgmā deh dharyo chhe ne pravṛuttithī akaḷāmaṇ āve chhe te kem pār paḍashe?” Tyāre Swāmīe kahyu je, “Have shu pār paḍavu bākī rahyu chhe? Pār paḍī chūkyu chhe ne pravṛutti ṭaḷī gaī chhe ne aradhu to pār paḍyu chhe ne pravṛutti chhe te sārī chhe, nīkar kyāīnu kyāī jātu rahevāt ne pūrvano sanskār bhāre chhe ne pravṛuttimā keṭluk ṭhīk chhe.” Vaḷī farī pūchhyu je, “Pūrvano sanskār chhe tyāre hamaṇā kem satsang thayo?” Tyāre Swāmī bolyā je, “Jog thāy tyāre bīj ūge ne pāṇīno jog thayā vinā bīj saras hoy paṇ ūge nahi.”
Harishankarbhai asked, “We have taken birth on the path of pravrutti, yet pravrutti causes perplexity. How can we make it through?” Swami answered, “Now what do we have to make it through? We have already made it through and there is no pravrutti for us. We have made it through half way and the pravrutti that remains is good. Otherwise, we would leave and go elsewhere. Since we have great sanskār from previous births, we are stable in our pravrutti.” Swami was asked in turn, “If we have great sanskārs from previous birth, why did we gain satsang now?” Swami answered, “When there is association (of water), the seed sprouts. Without water, even if the seed is great, it will not grow.”
