Desh-kāḷādik āṭh shubh chhe ne ashubh chhe te oḷakhavā. Te jyā Sant rahetā hoy teṭalo desh shubh ne bākī to ashubh. Arabsthān ne Makrāṇa1 e ādik ghaṇāy chhe; have kāḷ shubh chhe to Bhagwān bhajāy chhe ne sukhiyu rahevāy chhe. Ane mṛutyu paṇ jem kāḷ hoy tem thāy. Te juone, ā vahāṇ būḍe chhe tyāre temā base māṇas būḍī mare chhe ne Sūrat baḷyu tyāre keṭlāk māṇas baḷī mūā, te shu badhāynu mṛutyu bheḷu ja hashe? Ā ṭhekāṇe to ashubh kāḷ levo. Footnotes: 1. 1. Sindhanī vāyavye āvelo ek desh.
One should recognize the favorable and unfavorable factors of time, place, etc. (the eight factors of influence). In that, where the Sant resides is the favorable place; anywhere else is unfavorable. There are many (unfavorable) places, such as Arabsthan and Makaran. Currently, the time is favorable, hence, we are able to worship God and remain happy. However, one may die due to an unfavorable time. Take the example of a boat that sinks and 200 people die at once by drowning. And when Surat was on fire, many died at once by burning. Was the death of all at the same time predetermined? Actually, we should understand that this was due to an unfavorable time.
