श्रीसद्गुरुरुवाच
पशुर्मानुष्यः पक्षी वा ये च वैष्णवमाश्रिताः |
ते सर्वे प्रीतिपात्राणि भवेयुः श्रीपतेर्ननुः ||
तस्मात्ससङ्गमाश्रित्य नित्यं कैङ्कर्यमाचरन् |
कालक्षेपं यः करोति स हि बुद्धिमतां वरः ||
आषाढशुक्लैकादशयामागता न=बहवो जनाः |
यात्रिका दूरदेशाद्वै कर्तुं विट्ठलदर्शनम् ||
महोत्सवे सामाप्तेपि गते बन्धुजनेपि च |
तत्रैव बालिका काचित्तिष्ठन्ती प्ररुरोद ह ||
Shri Sadguru said
Any of these - viz. a man, an animal, a bird, any living being - which is in the company of a vaishnava becomes the object of Lord Shripati’s merciful affection. Hence, he who lives in the company of the sadhus, daily engaged in serving them, is the really intelligent person. Once on the Ekadashi day in the Shukla Paksha (the eleventh day from the new moon day), many pilgrims from distant places came to Pandaripuram to have the darshan of Lord Shri Panduranga. After the festival was over, all left Pandaripuram. A lone girl was crying standing in the temple.
