(1) Sant asantnī oḷkhāṇ pādī chhe Pūrāṇmā

Sadguru Nishkulanand Swami

Sant asantnī oḷkhāṇ, pādī chhe Pūrāṇmā;

 Suṇī sarve jan sujāṇ, taṇāsho ma tāṇmā... 1

(1) The distinction between a Sant and a fraudulent sant has been explained in the Puran. Hearing this distinction, O wise ones, do not be swept by the current of fraudulent sadhus.

Jaḍbharat¹ Janak² Jaydev,³ evu thāvu āpṇe;

 Tyāre kartā asantnī sev, vāt kaho kem baṇe... 2

(2) We should aim to be like Jadbharat, Janak, and Jaydev. However, by serving a pseudo-sadhu, how will we achieve that?

Ati ādaryu kām atol, parlok pāmvā;

 Tyāre kharī karī joīe khoḷ, vighan ne vāmvā... 3

(3) We have embarked on an unparalleled task - to reach parlok (Akshardham). Therefore, we should truly seek the way (i.e. find a true Sant) so we can remove all obstacles.

Vaṇ samje sār asār, pār kaho koṇ thayā;

 Karī Nishkuḷānand vichār, sant asant kahyā... 4

(4) Without understanding what is true and what is false, who has reached that goal (of attaining Akshardham)? Nishkulanand Swami has deeply contemplated and described the qualities of a Sant and an asant.
