Vaat 6.101
Swamini Vato Prakaran 6 Vaat 101 · 6 · Verse 101
Sanskrit Original
Sankalp thāy chhe te māhī rāg chhe te thāy chhe; ne joyā chhe te āgaḷ āvīne naḍe chhe; ne Kalkattu nathī joyu to swapnamā paṇ nathī āvatu, zer khādhānā ke afīṇ pīdhānā sankalp thāy chhe? Bhaṭṭajīne kahe, havelī bāḷyānā sankalp thāy chhe? Māṭe niyammā rahīne khāvu, jovu ne Moṭā Sādhune vinay karīne kahevu, to dhīre dhīre ṭaḷashe.
Desires arise because there is attachment within. When desires come to the fore they obstruct spiritual progress. If Kolkata has not been seen, then it does not come in one’s dreams also. Does one get desires to consume poison or opium? To Bhattji,1 Swami said, “Do you get a desire to burn the big mansion?” Therefore, stay within the rules and eat, see and talk to the great Sadhu respectfully, then the desires will be slowly overcome.
