Sanskrit Original
Jevā Bhagwān Akṣhardhāmmā chhe tevā ja āhī āvīne beṭhā hoy ne pachhī te manuṣhya charitra kare tyāre bhāv farī jāy, paṇ te bhāv faravā devo nahī. Juone, Sundarjī Suthārnī dīkarī moṭī thaī eṭale enā bhāīne kahe, “Āne Mahārājne paraṇāvashu?” Tyāre kahe, “Are! Bolya mā, bolya mā.” Tyāre olyo kahe, “Kā Suthārthī to ā Bhagwān chhe nā?” Em bhaktamā bhed chhe. Nīkar Bhagwān to beu jāṇatā hatā. Are! Āpaṇe paṇ jo ko’knī ben-dīkarīne Bhagwān laī jāy to nishchay na rahe, evī hajāru vātu chhe. Keṭlīk kahīe. Eve same dhīraj rahe ne jāṇe je, “Aho bahu līlā karī!” Te kharo. E to Brahmāne paṇ moh thaī gayo ke, “Noy noy Parabrahma, Govāḷiyo” em kahyu ne Shrī Kṛuṣhṇa avataryā ṭāṇe stuti paṇ pote ja karī gayā hatā, paṇ charitra joīne evu na rahyu.
The same God who is seated resplendently in Akshardham comes here and sits in the same way. But if he displays human traits, then one’s perception changes. However, do not allow one’s perceptions to change. See, when Sundarji Suthar’s daughter grew up, he said to his brother, “Shall we marry her to Maharaj?” Then (the brother) said, “Do not say that, do not say that.” Then Sundarji said, “Why, is he not God compared to a carpenter?” Thus, there is a difference in the understanding of devotees. Otherwise, both Sundarji and his brother knew him as God. Even for us, if God marries someone’s sister or daughter, our firm faith that he is God does not remain. There are thousands of talks like this. How many shall I say? So if, when God displays human traits, equipoise remains and one feels, “Oh! Great divinity has been displayed,” then one is truly convinced about God’s divine form. Even Brahmā became deluded when he saw Shri Krishna’s actions and said, “He is not Parabrahman, but a cowherd.” And when Shri Krishna incarnated, Brahmā himself sang his praises, but seeing his actions, his resolute faith did not remain that way.
