Sanskrit Original
Ame to lakhyu chhe ke bār mahine ek mahino Sādhuno jog karavo, te vinā kasar nahī maṭe. Ne, bhāī! Rūpiyā to maḷashe, paṇ ā vātu kyā maḷashe? Te māṭe vātu sāmbhaḷī levī. Ko’k kaheshe kharachīe, vāramvār vāvarīe, to paṇ shu? Ek rāḷ kharache to chār hajār daīe, paṇ ā gnān sāmbhaḷyā vinā kasar na maṭe, paṇ koī rahe nahī. Are, bhāī! Koī re'tā ho ne tamāre raḷyāmā khoṭ āvatī hoy to ek mahino to dharmavarāmāthī1 kāpī lejo. Are, jo raho to ame āhīthī das rūpiyāno mahino daīe, have ṭhīk; keṭlāk rahesho?

I have written that out of twelve months, one month should be spent in the company of the Sadhu. Without this, deficiencies will not be overcome. One earns money but where will one get these spiritual talks? So, listen to these talks. Some say that they spend repeatedly for religious causes. So what? If one rupee is spent for Satsang then we’ll give four thousand, but without listening to this spiritual wisdom, deficiencies will not be cured. But nobody stays here. If someone is prepared to stay and is short of money, then do not give donations to the mandir for one month. In fact, if you stay here, I will give you ten rupees a month. Now, how many will stay? Even if four hundred people stay, money will not run out. But you will get much knowledge. In fact, you do not realize it, but if there is a house of gold, it is worth burning it to ashes to listen to these spiritual talks. Since afterwards, these talks will be rare. And Maharaj has talked about donating ten percent of one’s income. If you do not believe this, I will state it and leave it at that. Even if someone donates a hundred thousand rupees, still to me, one who eats this mandir’s food and listens to these talks is greater. Where will one get these talks from? That which we were to attain after death – that Sadhu and God – we have attained in this very life.
