Sanskrit Original
"Antarno kusang, bahārno kusang ne satsangmā kusang ene oḷakhīne teno tyāg karavo. Te antarno kusang je, manmā bhūnḍā ghāṭ thāy; ne satsangmā kusang je, lok, bhog ne pakṣha; te pakṣhe karīne āchāryanu, mandirnu, koṭhārnu ne Moṭā Sādhunu ghasātu bole." Tyāre ko'ke prashna pūchhyu je, "E thaī gayu hoy te kem ṭaḷe?" Eṭale Swāmī kahe, "E to Moṭā Sādhuno vishvās hoy je, 'E Bhagwān jevā chhe ne Bhagwānnī peṭhe antarjāmī chhe te jāṇe chhe paṇ kahetā nathī,' em jāṇe to ṭaḷe."
Recognize and shun bad company within oneself, bad company external to Satsang and bad company within Satsang. Bad company within oneself are bad thoughts that arise in the mind. Bad company within Satsang is people, the material pleasures and bias. And because of bias, one speaks ill of the āchāryas, mandir and the great Sadhu. Then someone asked, “If that has happened, how can it be overcome?” So Swami said, “It is overcome if one has faith in the great Sadhu, that he is like God and is omniscient like God and so knows that I have spoken ill of him, yet he does not reveal it to others.”
