Shikshapatri (Sanskrit & English)
Synopsis
The Shikshapatri is the epistle of beneficial instructions written by supreme Lord Shree Swaminarayan. It describes the rudiments that one should adopt in order to lead an honest and moral life. Adhering to the commandments that are clearly narrated in the Shikshapatri, is the key to attaining ultimate salvation, i.e. attaining the divine abode of Lord Swaminarayan.
If anyone demonstrates cruelty towards them, either verbal or physical abuse, My sadhu and brahmachari must endure this malice but they must never retaliate. They should forgive these cruel people and pray for their welfare. Not even a bad thought towards them should enter the minds of My brahmachari and sadhu disciples. ||201||
અને તે સાધુ ને બ્રહ્મચારી તેમણે કોઈક કુમતિવાળા દુષ્ટ જન હોય ને તે પોતાને ગાળ દે અથવા મારે તો તે સહન જ કરવું પણ તેને સામી ગાળ ન દેવી ને મારવો નહિ અને તેનું જેમ હિત થાય તેમજ મનમાં ચિંતવન કરવું પણ તેનું ભૂંડું થાય એવો તો સંકલ્પ પણ ન કરવો. ॥૨૦૧॥
