Sanskrit Original
Ā sharīr to māṭīno ḍhagalo chhe, te sāju hoy tyā sudhī kīrtan ke bhajan thāy. Ne Shanaiha shanaiha panthāh Jem rājānā dīkarāne ek divase zāzu khavarāve temā moṭo na thāy ne roj bhūkh pramāṇe khavarāve to vadhe. Em gnān paṇ dhīre dhīre samāgamthī thāy chhe. Ne jog vinā rasoī thāy nahī, em jog vinā Prabhu bhajāy nahī, ne je vātu sāmbhaḷe te vṛuddhi pāme. Ne zāzu khāy to ūngh zāzī āve, ane shu kāī khāī khāīne sūī rahevāne bheḷā thayā chhīe? Te āj-kāl, mahine ke chha mahine Sādhuno samāgam karye chhūṭako chhe.
This body is a pile of dust. As long as it is well, worship and singing of devotional songs are possible. So, one should proceed slowly on this path. For example, if the king’s son is fed a lot in one day, he does not grow overnight, but if he is fed daily according to his needs, he grows gradually. Similarly, spiritual knowledge is attained slowly, through association. And without the association of appropriate people, meals are not prepared. Similarly, without the association of the God-realized Sadhu, God cannot be worshipped. So, whoever listens to these spiritual talks progresses. But overeating makes one feel more sleepy. And have we come together to merely eat and sleep? So, either today or tomorrow, in a month or six months, there is no alternative but to associate with the great Sadhu.
