Te ekanā peṭāmā traṇe āvī jāy ne Bhagwānno mahimā jaṇāy eṭale enī meḷe ja āfūrḍu1 het thāy ne het thāy tyāre anuvṛutti paḷe māṭe ā chintāmaṇi hāthmā āvī chhe tene mūkavī ja nahī. Āṭalo deh to Bhagwān parāyaṇ karī devo. Footnotes: 1. 1. Potānī meḷe, ekāek, saheje.
Meditation is superior to dharma, etc. Spiritual knowledge is greater than that and greater than that is to intuitively serve the great and please them. In this one, all other three are incorporated. When the glory of God is known, then affection for him arises spontaneously from within. And when such affection develops, then his wishes are followed. Therefore, this chintāmani which has come to hand should not be relinquished. Thus the body must be made God-centred.
