Sanskrit Original
Brahmachārīne tyā vāt karī je, “Viṣhaythī bandhāṇo te baddha ne mukāṇo te mukta chhe. Te māṭe āpaṇe mukāvu. Ne ā juone, āhī viṣhayno jog nathī teṇe karīne ṭhīk rahe chhe. Paṇ jo barfīnā bharel so paḍiyā roj āve to khādhā vagar na rahevāy, evo jīvno swabhāv chhe. Māṭe e to na āve to ja sāru chhe.”
Swami spoke to the Brahmachari, “One who is bound to the vishays is bound (baddha), and one who has renounced them is free (mukta). We should renounce the vishays. Here, we do not have contact with the vishays; therefore, it is proper. However, if we acquire sweets everyday, then we would not remain without eating. That is the nature of the jiva. Therefore, it is best that we do not get sweets.”
