Ek jaṇe prashna pūchhyo je, “Jīvmā kāchyap to ghaṇī chhe tethī ātyantik mokṣha to nahī thāy, jyāre kasar ṭaḷashe tyāre thāshe. Te kasar ṭāḷavā kyā rākhashe? Ne jo ko’k lokāntarmā Bhagwān mele to to āhīnāthī tyā vadhu viṣhaybhog chhe, tyā rahīne kem nirbādh rahevāy? E to rahevāy evu jaṇātu nathī.

Kem karashe?” Pachhī Swāmīe uttar karyo je, “Jyā āvā Sādhu hashe tyā ja rākhīne kasar ṭāḷashe, hamaṇā jaṇātu nathī paṇ ā deh mūkīne jīv bahu baḷiyo thāshe, tenā Bhagwān faḷpradātā chhe. Te evo jog meḷavī deshe, āpaṇe kāī karavu rahyu nathī. Ā oḷakhāṇe thaī rahyu.”
One person asked a question, “There are many deficiencies in the jiva, so ultimate moksha will not be attained. When the deficiencies are overcome it will be attained. Where will it (the jiva) be kept to remove the deficiencies? If God places it in another abode, then there are more material pleasures there than here, so how can it stay there and remain detached? It does not seem that it can. And at present we have the company of this Sadhu, but due to inadequate faith deficiencies are not overcome. And after leaving this body, if the company of such a Sadhu is attained then deficiencies are overcome. So, will such company be attained or not? What will happen?” Then Swami replied, “It (the jiva) will be kept where there is such a Sadhu and the remaining deficiencies will be removed. It is not apparent at present, but, after leaving the body, the jiva will become very powerful. God is the giver of its fruits, so he will arrange for such company. We have nothing more left to do. Recognizing him means we have done everything.”
