ROZ EK SHER

जो बिन ज्ञान क्रिया अवगाहे, जो बिन क्रिया मोक्ष फल चाहे
जो बिन मोक्ष कहे मैं सुखिया सो मूढन में मुखिया
-बनारसीदास

jo bin gyaan kriyaa avagaahe, jo bin kriyaa moksha phal chaahe
jo bin moksha kahe main sukhiyaa so muudhan mein mukhiyaa
-Banarasidasa

They who follow rituals without understanding
They who desire liberation without any effort
They who think there is happiness without liberation
Are the biggest fools

English adaptation by Manish Modi
=========================
I would like to thank Dr Shantilalji Somaiya for his magnanimous hospitality, for showing us his gorgeous home, truly a Sarasvati Mandir laden with marvellous icons of Ma Sarasvati and other
deities; and most importantly for practicing the principles of samyak jnana and samyak caritra in his life.

I would request group members to click on http://www.somaiya.org to see the marvellous work three generations of the Somaiyas have done in the fields of education and promotion of Indian values and culture.
