Sanskrit Original
Are! Āvā Sādhu chhe te paṇ em danḍ de chhe. Te jeṇe tyāge, tape ādik sādhane karīne vash karyā hoy tethī thāy. Ā jīvnu to karavu kevu chhe? Te Mahārāj kahetā je, “Ek garāsiyo hato te kasumbā kāḍhe tyāre laḍāīnī ne dhingāṇānī vātu kare tyāre kharāī1 āve, te jyāre afīṇ pīe tyāre, ane ūnghe tyāre vaḷī ḍhīlāḍhab.” Em āpaṇe paṇ jyāre vātu thāy tyāre em, ne pachhī pāchhu kāī nahī. Footnotes: 1. 1. Ūbhā thaī javānī vṛutti (khās karīne mandavāḍmāthī).
Oh! Such a Sadhu also gives atonement like this! And those who have pleased him by renunciation, austerities and other means can do such things. What is the working method of this jiva? Maharaj used to say, “There was a member of a warrior community who, while he made a drink of opium, talked of fighting and war in such a way that one felt like getting up and fighting. But when he actually drank the opium, he slept and became totally docile. Similarly, when talks take place, we are also like that (ready to fight) and then afterwards, we do nothing (we do not want to do anything).”
