Vishwavatsalya - Self-contemplation
Dharma amaro ek matra e "Sarva Dharma Seva" Karvi, Dhyey amarun chhe vatsalta vishwamahin ene bharvi; "Sakal Jagatni bani janeta vatsalta sahuman redun" e j bhavanana anuyayi banvanun sahune tedun. Natjatna bhed amone lesh nathi kai abhadata, Desh-veshna shishtacharo vikas mate nahi nadta; Nirbhay banine janmalni parwa kadie nav karie, Am maiikini vastuno mudh swarth pan pariharie. 2 Brahmcharyani jyot jagavi satya prabhune mandiria, Jagsevane anch n ave e vyavsayo acharie; Sadgun stuti karie sahuni nindathi nyaran rahie, Vyasano tajie sadgun sajie taptip khoti tajie. Khavun, pivun, harvun, farvun, suvun, jagvun ne vadvun,.. Sarva kriyao kartan pahelan pap vikarothi darvun, Chhatan thay gafalat je kai te kshama magi halvan thaie, Sarva kshetraman rahie to pan atmbhan nahi vismarie. 4
- Munishri Santbaaljee
In this poem of prayer, the invincibility of a Mother's love is eulogised and is stated that the only religion of ours is "Service to all religions”. Let' me act a mother to all the
worldly beings, pour such love on all, and without having many distinctions of caste, creed or a country, leave all selfish
desires, observe celibacy and pursue such professions as do not harm others. Let us be free from all vices and addictedness; and may we have cautions or fear while eating, drinking, moving about, etc. etc. If erred, ask for forgiveness and be unburdened. With all these, may we not forget to get the consciousness of the self !
