Swamini Vato Prakaran 5 Vaat 95 · 5 · Verse 95
Sanskrit Original
“Gnānīne ātmā kahyo chhe, māṭe Bhagwānne jīv arpaṇ karī devo. Jem kahe tem ja karavu.” Pachhī Manjībhāīe pūchhyu je, “Jīv arpaṇ karyā pachhī vāsanā ṭāḷavī rahe chhe ke nahi?” Tyāre Swāmī kahe, “Vāsanā ṭāḷavī paḍe; ne em uttar na karīe to Bhagwānmā bādh āve je, ekanī vāsanā ṭāḷe ne ekanī na ṭāḷe, māṭe em kahevāy nahi, ne ātmaniṣhṭhā tathā māhātmye karīne vāsanā ṭaḷe chhe.”
“The gnāni is referred to the ātmā of God. Therefore, one should offer their jiva to God and do as God says.” Then, Manjibhai asked, “After offering one’s jiva to God, does one need to destroy their vāsanā?” Swami answered, “Vāsanā has to be eradicated. If that is not how we answer, then one would fault God for destroying one’s vāsanā and not another’s. But that is not the case. Vāsanā can be eradicated by ātma-nishthā and understanding God’s greatness.”
