________________
human form,ut this thought never occurred to you for a single moment! (2)
nirdosa sukha nirdoņa ānanda, lyo game tyām thi bhale, e divya Śaktimāna jethi jaijire thi nikale; paravastu mām nahi mūñjhavo, eni dayā mujane rahi, e tygavā siddhānta ke paícat dukha te sukha nahīm (3)
You can derive innocent happiness and joy from whatever source (you like) so that the divine and powerful (soul) will be released from its fetters. Do not be confused by what is not yours. I feel sympathy with you. This view is to be abandoned. If unhappiness follows (so called) happiness) then this was not (real) happiness. (3)
hum koņa chum? kyāmthi thayo? śum svarūp che mārum kharum? kona sambandhe valagaņā che? rākhum ke e paraharum? ena vicära vivekapūrvaka santa bhāve jo karya, to sarva ātmika jñānanām siddhānta tattva anubhavyäm. (4)
Who am I ? Where I am coming from? What is my real form? To whom I am bound by relationships? Shall I keep them or abandon them? If you have thought about this calmly and with balanced mind, then only you have experienced the doctrinal essence of all self-knowledge. (4)
te prāpta karavā vacana konum satya kevala mānavum? nirdosa naranum kathana māno 'teha' jene anabhavyum; re! ātma tāro! ātma tāro! śīghra ene olakho, sarvātma māņ samadrstī dhyo ā vacana ne hsdaye lakho. (5)
Whose words are to be taken as absolutely true to achieve this (self-knowledge)? Believe the saying of an innocent person who has experienced 'that'. Oh your self ! Your self ! Recognise it quickly. See all souls as equals. Write this word in your heart. (5)
