Ek sādhu kahe, “Āpaṇā karammā lāḍavā nahotā ne ā to Bhagwānnā pratāpe emanī ichchhāe maḷe chhe māṭe bhogavavu teno bādh nathī.” Tyāre Swāmī kahe, “E samajaṇ khoṭī chhe, kem je, khāvā-pīvā to ghaṇā vimukhne paṇ maḷe chhe.” Tyāre ko’ke kahyu je, “Mahārāj paṇ santne lāḍavā ādi jamāḍtā.” Tyāre Swāmī kahe, “Te to em samajvu je, jīvne potānī smṛuti thāy te sāru jamāḍtā, paṇ Mahārājno evo mat nahī je, viṣhay bhogavāvavā.”
One sadhu said, “We did not have laddus to eat according to our fate, but because of God’s grace and wish, we get such delicious items to eat. So, there is no objection in indulging.” Swami replied, “That understanding is wrong, because, many non-believers also get food and water.” Then, someone said, “Maharaj himself served laddus and other items to sadhus.” Swami replied, “In that, one should understand that he served delicious items so one can maintain his smruti. But Maharaj’s principle was not to enable the indulgence of vishays.”
