Ek jaṇe pūchhyu je, “Sau karatā vā’lu shu hashe?” Tyāre uttar karyo je, “Amane to deh jaṇāy chhe, ne Mahārāje paṇ ek sādhu āgaḷ kahyu ke, ‘Jīvne karoḍo pāpnā koṭhār bharyā chhe.’” E vāt vistāre karīne bolyā je, “Te māṭe e paṇ pāpnā chhe. Te bheḷe dehnī ekatā āvī. Temā jīv judo rahyo, tene baḷiyo karīne onī bheḷu rahevu paṇ bhaḷavu nahī; ne koī padārth ke viṣhay rākhavā nahī; pachhī tyā jaīne bho khotarvī paḍe e karatā āhī ja chhūṭako karīe nahī?”
One person asked, “What is loved the most, above all?” Swami answered, “I think it is the body. And Maharaj also said to a sadhu, ‘The jiva has filled tens of millions of storehouses with sin.’” This talk was narrated in detail and then he said, “Therefore, the jiva is also full of sin and has become one with the body. But, actually, the jiva is separate from the body. Strengthen the jiva and live with the body, but do not become one with it. And do not keep any objects or material pleasures. So, instead of having to do this again in the next birth, why not attain freedom in this birth?”
