Gandhi's Teachers: Rajchandra Ravjibhai Mehta
own intelligence and confounds the truth.
26
प्रत्यक्ष सद्गुरुयोगमां, वर्ते दृष्टि विमुख | असद्गुरूने दृढ करे, निजमानार्थे मुख्य ||२६|| प्रत्यक्ष सद्गुरोर्योगे कुर्याद् दृष्टिविमुखताम् । योऽसद्गुरुं दृढाकुर्यान्निजमानाय मुख्यतः ||२६||
Even in the association of a visible (living) teacher, such a person (with own whims) maintains opposite (perverse) views and follows an untrue teacher with determination. This he does chiefly to gratify own vanity.
27
देवादि गति भंगमां, जे समजे श्रुतज्ञान | माने निजमतवेषनो आग्रह मुक्तिनिदान ||२७|| देवादिगतिभङ्गेषु
जानीयाच्छ्रुतज्ञानताम्।
मन्यते निजवेषं यो मुक्तिमार्गस्य कारणम् ||२७||
Such a person (with own whims) takes scriptural knowledge to be a hindrance in the godly progress and own beliefs as the reason for liberation.
28
लघु स्वरूप न वृत्तिनुं, ग्रधुं व्रत अभिमान ।
ग्रहे नहीं परमार्थने, लेवा लौकिक मान ॥ २८ ॥ अप्राप्ते लक्षणे वृत्तेर्वृत्तिमत्वाभिमानिता । परमार्थं न विन्देद यो लोकपूजार्थमात्मनः ||२८||
Such a person (with own whims) does not attain orientations and characteristics of the godly path, but remains falsely prideful of such orientations. This person only desires reverence of the people and does not attain liberation.
