Te shu? To koikne svade karine saru saru khava joitu hoy ne tene Bhagwan tatha sant te khode tyare tenu antar pachhu padi jay tatha kamno ghat rahi gayo hoy ne tene khode tatha lobh rahyo hoy ne te lobhne mukave ne kahe je, ‘A taru dhan, mal, khetar, vadi te koikne api de,’ tyare te vachan pale nahi; tene karine pachho padi jay. Tatha man hoy ne te manne sant tatha Bhagwan khode ne apaman kare, tyare tene karine pan pachho padi jay chhe. Evi rite nishchay hoy ne je je potama avagun rahi gayo hoy tene karine pachho padi jay chhe. Ane jene nishchay karyo hoy te samayma ja e avagun taline karyo hoy to te pachho pade nahi. Ane e avagun hamana pan jema jema hashe te jo vicharine potana antar samu jue to janai ave je, ‘Avi ritne ange hu kacho chhu, te jo mane palyanu kaheshe to hu vimukh thaish.’ Em yatharth jane.”

Sha mate je, te rajae em janyu chhe je, ‘Baliyo je Gavarnar Saheb teno e hameliyo chhe.’ Ane jethi je baliyo teni agal man rahe nahi, tem jene Bhagwanne samagra aishvarya-samruddhina dhani janya hoy to tene santni agal man kem rahe?” Pachhi Brahmanand Swamie kahyu je, “He Maharaj! Tame thik kaho chho. Jo em mahatmye sahit Bhagwanne janya hoy to man, irshya, krodh te santni agal thay ja nahi.” Pachhi Shriji Maharaj bolya je, “Juo ne, Uddhavji keva mota hata ne keva dahya hata! Pan jo Bhagwanni motaine janata hata to te Bhagwanne vishe hetvali je Vrajni Gopio tena charanni rajne pamya saru van-velino avatar magyo! Te kahyu chhe je,

“Tatha Brahmae pan kahyu chhe je,

“Evi rite Brahma pan Bhagwannu mahatmya janata hata to evi rite bolya. Te mate jo Bhagwanni ne santni evi rite motai janato hoy to man, irshya, krodh rahe ja nahi ne tene agal dasanudas thaine varte ne game tetalu apaman kare to pan tena sangne mukine chhete javane ichchhe ja nahi, ane em manma thay nahi je, ‘Have to kya sudhi khamie? Apan to apane gher betha thaka ja bhajan karishu.’ Te mate em mahatmya samaje to man tale.” Evi rite varta kari.

Ane vali Shriji Maharaje em varta kari je, “Bhagwanno bhakta hoy ne tene koi karmayoge karine shulie chadhavyo ne te samayma ame pan teni pase ubha hoie, pan te bhaktana hrudayma em ghat na thay je, ‘A Bhagwan mane shulina kasht thaki mukave to thik.’ Evi rite potana dehna sukhno sankalp na thay ne je kasht pade tene bhogavi le, evo je nishkam bhakta teni upar Bhagwanni bahu prasannata thay chhe.”

Ane vali Shriji Maharaje em varta kari je, “Bhagwan sambandhi sukhne kon pame chhe? To te kahie chhie je, jem machhalu hoy tene jal chhe te jivanrup chhe. Te jalno yog jya sudhi hoy tya sudhi te jalma machhalu chale, hale, krida kare ne jalno viyog thay tyare teni chanchalta tali jay ne mari jay. Tem jene panch-vishaye karine jivanpanu jya sudhi manayu chhe ne tene karine sukh manyu chhe ne teno viyog thay tyare muva jevo thai jay chhe, evo je hoy te Bhagwanna sukhne kyarey pan pame nahi. Ane panch-vishaye karine jene jivanpanu tali gayu chhe te ja Bhagwanna sukhne anubhave chhe ne bhogave chhe ne evane ja Bhagwanna sukhni prapti thay chhe.”
