Appendix IV : Srimad's Atma-siddhi Sastra
प्रत्यक्ष सद्गुरु योगथी, स्वच्छंद ते रोकाय । अन्य उपाय कर्या थकी, प्राये बमणो थाय ॥१६॥ Pratyakşa sadguru yogaths, svacchanada te rokāya; Anya upāya karya thaki, praye bamano thaya. 16
One's self-conceit is checked at once, In direct Teacher's nearness; To root it out use other means, It grows two-fold, in general sense. 16
स्वच्छंद मत आग्रह तजी, वर्ते सद्गुरुलक्ष । समकित तेने भाखियुं, कारण गणी प्रत्यक्ष ॥१७॥
Svacchanda mata āgraha taji, varte sadguru lakṣa; Samakita tene bhakhiyuni, karana gani pratyaksa. 17
If one has true Teacher's guidance, Putting aside one's whims and views; Sectarian ways, obstinateness, "Tis termed true Faith, for direct cause. 17
मानादिक शत्रु महा, निजछंदे न मराय ।
जातां सद्गुरु शरणमां, अल्प प्रयासे जाय ॥१८॥ Mānādika satru mahā, nijachande na marāya; Jātām sadguru saraṇamāni, alpa prayase jāya. 18
One connot kill by self-conceit, Foes pride and all; but seek refugeTrue Teacher's, easily defeat, All mighty foes, extinction huge. 18
जे सद्गुरु उपदेशथी, पाम्यो केवळज्ञान । गुरु रह्या छद्मस्थ पण, विनय करे भगवान ॥१९॥
