(1) Jem jītyā e shatru samūh kām krodh lobh laī

Sadguru Nishkulanand Swami

Jem jītyā e shatru samūh, kām krodh lobh laī;

 Svād sneh mamtā moh, te to dekhāḍu kaī... 1

(1) I will show you how (Maharaj) conquered that horde of enemies, including lust, anger, greed, gluttony, affection towards one’s relations, ‘My’-ness, and infatuation.

Kām kāraṇe kaḍhāvī lāj, krodhe bolī bandh karī;

 Lobh upar mahā munirāj, āviyā jhāḍe farī... 2

(2) To conquer lust, Maharaj made his sadhus cover their eyes when they passed through public places. To conquer anger, he prohibited angry words. To conquer greed, Maharaj had the great munis (Mulji Brahmachari) defecate on money.

Svāde sahu ekṭhu karī anna, jaḷ nākhī jan jame;

 Snehe sambhāre nahi svajan, mānthī dūr rame... 3

(3) To conquer gluttony, he had his sadhus mix their food and add water to it. To conquer attachment to relatives, he stressed that they should not remember their loved ones. He also warned them to stay away from ego.

Kāḍhī rīs karī haḍkār, bījā dushṭ bahu ḍaryā;

 Kahe Nishkuḷānand nīrdhār, verī em vashya karyā... 4

(4) Maharaj became angry and contemptuously cast out (the above vices). (Seeing this) other enemies became extremely frightened. Nishkulanand Swami says, “In this way, he subdued these enemies.”
