Sanskrit Original
Bhagwānno māhātmye sahit nishchay thayā pachhī kāī karavu rahyu nathī. Māṭe māhātmyanī oth laīne ūlaṭu pāp karavu nahī; ne āpaṇne vṛuddhi thātī dekhātī nathī paṇ sarve dhīre dhīre thatu jāy chhe ne em ja thavānī rīt chhe. Jem bājrānā chhoḍmā dāṇā dekhātā nathī paṇ ḍūnḍu āve chhe ne pachhī dāṇā dekhāy chhe tem thāy chhe.
When conviction in God, together with an understanding of his glory, is developed then there is nothing left to do. Therefore, even under the pretext of God’s glory, sins should not be committed. We do not see progress being made, since everything proceeds slowly; and that is the way for things to happen. Just as, in a millet plant, grains are not seen initially, but when the cob grows the grains become visible. That is how spiritual development occurs.
