Swamini Vato Prakaran 6 Vaat 52 · 6 · Verse 52
Sanskrit Original
Vaḷī, jīvno to avaḷo swabhāv chhe te khāvu, rūpiyā ne viṣhay temā ja manḍyo chhe. Jo rūpiyā hoy to te bhāngīne ghau levā ne te khāīne Prabhu bhajavā. So upāy karīne bājro bheḷo karavo. Te khetīvāḍī karīne, chākarī karīne ke sāthī rahīne paṇ te ek vār to bheḷo karavo. Pachhī hāyvoy na karavī ne Bhagwān bhajavā. Ane te na karo to ā mandirmā bājro ghaṇo saḷī jāy chhe, te chār mahinā rahīne paṇ Bhagwān bhajavā āvajo. Pachhī āvo samāgam nahī maḷe ne uttam vaktā chhe tyā samāgam karī lejo ne pachhī to chīju khādhīyu hoy te sambhārvī, dhārvī ne vichārvī. Te Mahārāje Shikṣhāpatrīmā kahyu chhe ne Vachanāmṛutmā paṇ kahyu chhe je, samāgam vinā gnān na āve. Ne desh-kāḷādik āṭhmā sangne adhik kahyo chhe. Te olyā sāt bhūnḍā hoy ne ek sang sāro hoy to Moṭāpuruṣh sārā karī de. Māṭe vāramvār sang karavo; temā sarve vāt āvī jāy.
The jiva has an antagonistic nature and is engrossed in eating, earning money and material pleasures. If one has money, then one should buy and store wheat grains, eat and worship God. By any means – farming, serving or labouring – store enough food but, at least once, they (grains) must be collected. Then do not worry and worship God. And if you do not do that, then there is much millet in this mandir that rots. So, come and stay here for four months and worship God. Later, this association will not be attained. So, where there is a speaker with the highest spiritual wisdom, ensure that you keep his company and then remember and contemplate on the things that you have experienced. Maharaj has also said in the Shikshapatri and the Vachanamrut that without association of the Satpurush, knowledge is not possible. And among the eight factors of place, time, etc., association (satsang) is described as the best. And if the other seven are unfavourable and only company (of the Satpurush) is good, then the great Sadhu makes them favourable. Therefore, maintain association. Everything is included in this.
