Ā samāgam maḷyo chhe te ko’k pūrvano sanskār bhāre chhe, te samāgam karavā sāru āvyā chho ne je nathī āvatā tene bhāre pāp chhe. Ānu faḷ to āj, kāl, mahine ke varase paṇ maḷashe; ne samās ghaṇo karashe. Ne koīk jāṇatā hashe je karīe chhīe ne kem kāī thātu nathī?

This association (of the great Sadhu) is attained because of one’s great merit from their past birth; therefore, you have come for this association. Those who do not come have some grave sins (from their past births). You will receive the fruit (of this association) today, tomorrow, in a month, or one year; and you will benefit greatly. Some think though, we associate and yet we do not realize anything. However, we add a congealing agent (into the milk), and it will become yoghurt and then ghee after churning (i.e. ghee is obtained after many processes and time). These talks are very rare! And Satsang has increased tremendously and will spread throughout the world, but where will one find someone who speaks like this? And money will come by cartloads and mansions will be built, but one will not find these (talks)! Now, one should not wish for anything else. Ever since this jiva has gained understanding, it has farmed and sold (crop) and it still receives bread and grains. However, if one earns huge piles of money, what will happen? One will encounter misery. Therefore, since we have attained God, whatever happens is according to his wish. And God has accepted responsibility for giving us food and clothing so he will give it to us. In the past, armies, bandits, and others attacked or looted. Some could not find food to eat because of famines, insects destroying crops, rodent infestation, or disease - such were the great catastrophes. In contrast, it appears the favorable times likes today had never come before. Therefore, this is the opportunity to worship God. O! I stayed in the forest for 22 years. I got food to eat every three days. We stayed in the midst of cold, heat, rain, and snow. We took the shelter of grass bales with one blanket - such are the hardships we endured. Then, Swami explained the three miseries of adhyātma, adhibhut, and adhidaiv. Adhyātma is the body contracting disease. Adhibhut is misery caused by snakes, savage animals, etc. Adhidaiv is misery caused by locusts, rodents, etc. sent by the deities. These cease when one worships God. And if one truly worships God, then he looks at us (protects us) directly - that is how merciful God is. Regarding that, Swami said, Shri Krishna said that all of the Yadavs, Lakshmi and the other queens, and my body is not as dear to me as Uddhavji. This is how compassionate he is. Therefore, we should become like that.
