Gadhada II-47: A Split in the Pruthvi Down to Pātāl

Summary

1. A sādhu aspiring for liberation [mumukshu sādhu]:

1. The more he is made upset or vishays denounced, he increasingly becomes overjoyed and perceives virtues.
2. He eradicates his impure desires by the profound association with the Sant.
3. He bears only one wish: To become brahmarup and attain God’s abode.

2. A sādhu who has desires for vishays:

1. He remains with a senior sādhu due to the temptation of enjoying vishays.
2. He should be considered like a wretched person or like a dog.
3. He is worse than one who has committed the five grave sins.

3. Just as if the earth that has been split down to Pātāl can never be filled with water; similarly, the indriyas have never become satisfied by the vishays, and they never will be.
4. The renunciants and householders should mutually understand the greatness of each other.
