Sanskrit Original

Lāḍavā na khāvā, ne kaho to sāchu kahīe je, gṛuhasthnā chhokarāne lāḍavā vaḷāvīne thoḍāk divas khavarāve chhe tenu daivat bār mahinā sudhī rahe chhe. Tyāre ā to nirantar lāḍavā khāshe teno tyāg kem pār paḍashe? Ne ā tāvaḍā to rātripralay sudhī nahī ūtare.

One should not eat laddus. And if I may speak the truth, the gruhasthas who feed laddus to their sons for a few days have an effect that lasts 12 months. So, how will one succeed in maintaining their renunciation if one eats laddus everyday here? And these cooking pans will not come off the stove1 even till the rātri-pralay (the dissolution of the three worlds when one day of Virat-Purush ends). Footnotes: 1. 1. Swami is saying that food will always have to be made for Thakorji and the devotees (so the cooking pans will always be on the stove). But, for renunciants, they will have to maintain discretion on what they eat and how much they eat, because food is the cause of laziness and lust.
