“Have je brahmagnānno mārg chhe temā to em samajavu je, ‘Je brahma chhe te to nirvikār chhe ne niransh chhe, māṭe e vikārne pāme nahī ne enā ansh paṇ thāy nahī.’ Ane e brahmane je sarvarūpe kahe chhe tenu to em chhe je, e brahma je te Prakṛuti-Puruṣh ādik sarvenā kāraṇ chhe ne ādhār chhe ne sarvane viṣhe antaryāmī shaktie karīne vyāpak chhe, māṭe je kāraṇ ne ādhār ne vyāpak hoy te kārya thakī pṛuthak hoy nahī; em samajaṇne laīne e brahmane shāstra je te sarvarūp kahe chhe, paṇ e brahma ja vikār pāmīne charāchar jīvrūpe thaī gayā em na samajavu. Ane e brahma thakī Parabrahma je Puruṣhottam Nārāyaṇ te nokhā chhe ne e brahmanā paṇ kāraṇ chhe ne ādhār chhe ne prerak chhe, em samajīne potānā jīvātmāne e brahma sangāthe ekatā karīne Parabrahmanī Swāmī-sevakbhāve upāsanā karavī. Evī rīte samaje tyāre brahmagnān chhe te paṇ param padne pāmyāno nirvighna mārg chhe.”
