Sanskrit Original
“Vyāsjīe kīḍāne traṇ-chār janma levarāvīne paṇ mokṣha karyo, tem Moṭāno samāgam thayo hoy to te chhoḍe nahī.” Tyāre Harishankarbhāīe pūchhyu je, “Eṭalā janma levarāvavā te karatā ek janme ja kem pār pāḍyu nahī?” Tyāre uttar karyo je, “Gnān thayā vinā pār paḍe nahī ne Moṭā to ek janme ja gnān āpe, paṇ māne nahī.” Tyā draṣhṭānt dīdhu je, “Ek haribhaktanā upar amāre tamārā jeṭalu ja het hatu paṇ māru mānyu nahī ne farī ghar karyu.”
Vyasji made the worm take three to four births, but liberated it; similarly, we have the company of the great Sadhu and he will lead us to Akshardham and nowhere else. Then Harishankarbhai asked, “Instead of making the worm take so many births, why did he not accomplish it in one birth?” Then Swami replied, “Without spiritual knowledge it cannot be accomplished. And the great give spiritual knowledge in one birth only, but we do not believe in what they say.” Then he gave an example, “I had as much affection for one devotee as I have for you, but he did not listen to me and remarried.”
