Appendix IV: Śrīmad's Ātma-siddhi Śāstra
एक होय ऋण काळमां, परमारथनो पंथ । प्रेरे ते परमार्थने ते व्यवहार समंत || ३६॥
Eka hoya trana kālamāmi paramarathano pantha; Prere te paramarthane, te vyavahāra samanta. 36
The path of perfection is the same, In all times past,present,future; Its path practical worth the name, Acceptable if helps soul-nature. 36
एम विचारी अंतरे शोधे सद्गुरु योग । काम एक आत्मार्थनुं, बीजो नहि मनरोग ॥३७॥
Ema vicari antare, śodhe sadguru yoga, Kāma eka ātmārthnuumi, bijo nahi manaroga. 37
Determines thus and tries to find,
The proximity of true Teachers; No ideal else that eats the mind, The soul alone for all soul - seekers. 37
कपायनी उपशांतता मात्र मोक्ष अभिलाष । भवे खेद प्राणीदया, त्यां आत्मार्थ निवास ||३८||
Kaṣāyani upaśāntatā, mātra mokṣa abhilāṣa; Bhave kheda prāṇīdayā, tyāni ātmārtha nivāsa. 38
See seekership in soul-compassion, Suppression of all passions four; The hope of only liberation, Dejection of such rebirth-tour, 38
दशा न एवी ज्यां सुधी, जीव लहे नहि जोग । मोक्षमार्ग पामे नहीं, मटे न अंतर रोग ॥ ३९ ॥
