Sanskrit Original
Ā jīv to zāḍ, patharā, dhūḷ ne belā e jue chhe, temā sho māl chhe? Ane mūḷ shāstramā kahyu je, “Netra āgaḷ āve te jovu, paṇ bahu lāmbī draṣhṭi na karavī.” Em sādhuno mārag chhe, paṇ vāre vāre vakhāṇ kare je, “Āvu hatu ne ām thāshe,” ne shāstramā kahyu chhe je, niyam pramāṇe jame te sadā upavāsī. Ne vastra paṇ niyam pramāṇe rākhe te tyāgī, māṭe niyammā rahevu.
This jiva sees trees, stones, dirt and bricks, but is there any value in them? In fact, the scriptures advise, “See what comes before the eyes but do not look in the distance.” That is the path of the sadhu. But frequently, one praises, “It was like this and this will happen.” So, it is stated in the scriptures that if one eats as per the rules of sadhus then one is eternally fasting and if one keeps clothes only as per the rules, then one is a renunciant. Therefore abide by the codes of conduct.
