Translation
(1) Samu samje shoḍhtā evā jotā jhājhā nav jaḍe re
Samu samje shoḍhtā evā, jotā jhājhā nav jaḍe re;
Jene na āvḍe avḷu levā, vaṇtoḷī vipatya jo paḍe re... 1
(1) You cannot find many people who, in adverse circumstances, do not know how to understand incorrectly. (You cannot find many who can understand correctly even in adversity. Nishkulanand Swami states this as the inverse.)
Mān moṭap ne mamtā muke, gamtu Govindnu jāṇī re;
Choṭ nishān uparthī na chuke, parloke pratīti āṇī re... 2
(2) Such people discard ego, fame, and attachment to the world with the understanding that doing so will please God. After having developed a resolve to reach the abode of God, they do not lose focus of their goal.
Koī kāḷe jo kām potānu, vaṇsāḍe nahi vaḷī re;
Kapaṭ kedīye na rākhe chhānu, moṭā santne maḷī re... 3
(3) No matter what they do, they ensure that their mission - to reach the abode of God - does not fail. They are never deceitful and they hide nothing when they meet a great Sant.
Evā jan jagatmā jāṇo, ghar ghar ghaṇā na hoy re;
Nishkuḷānand kahe parmāṇo, sāchā sant kā’ve soy re... 4
(4) Know that, in this world, you cannot find many people with this understanding from house to house. Nishkulanand Swami says, “Recognize this to be a great Sant.” (i.e. One with the qualities mentioned here.)
