Vyavahār chhe te karavo ne mane karīne judā rahevu. Dhṛutrāṣhṭra ne Bhīm maḷyā evu het vyavahārmā dehe karīne rākhavu. Garāsiyānā jevu het rākhavu;1 mane karīne ne jīve karīne judā rahevu, temā bhaḷavā āve teno tyāg karavo. Vahevārmā harakhshok thāy e ja māyānu rūp chhe. Dehe karīne rāj karavu paṇ jīv to Bhagwānmā ja joḍī devo je, hu Bhagwānno chhu ne Bhagwān mārā chhe, em jīv jaḍī devo ne bhajan ochhu thāshe, kīrtan ochhā gavāshe, tenī fikar nathī. Footnotes: 1. 1. Uparchhallu het. Garāsiyā pote kṣhatriya jāti. Teo potānā verīne paṇ bāthmā ghālīne maḷe. Paraspar bannenā hṛudaymā zer hoy, paṇ monī mīṭhāsh ne lāgaṇīnā umaḷkāmā jaṇāvā na de.
Engage in worldly affairs but remain mentally detached. With the body keep attachment for worldly activities like that of Dhritrashtra for Bhim when they embraced.1 Keep affection like that of a Garāsiyo.2 Remain aloof by mind and soul from worldly affairs and renounce that which tries to enter them. Feelings of happiness and misery in worldly activities is the form of māyā. With the body, rule even a kingdom, but the jiva must be attached to God. ‘I am God’s and God is mine.’ In this way attach the jiva to God. And in the process, if less worship is offered and fewer bhajans are sung, there is nothing to worry about. Footnotes: 1. 1. Dhritrashtra embraced Bhim without any attachment for him and with the intention of crushing him to death. 2. Superficial affection. A Garasiyo is of the warrior community. He embraces even his enemies. They both hate each other, but exhibit such outward affection and respect that their true, inner feelings are masked.
