Shri Purohit Swami

जो मनुष्य शास्त्रविधिको छोड़कर अपनी इच्छासे मनमाना आचरण करता है, वह न सिद्धि-(अन्तःकरणकी शुद्धि-) को, न सुखको और न परमगतिको ही प्राप्त होता है।

Swami Ramsukhdas

जो पुरुष शास्त्रविधि को त्यागकर अपनी कामना से प्रेरित होकर ही कार्य करता है, वह न पूर्णत्व की सिद्धि प्राप्त करता है, न सुख और न परा गति।

Swami Tejomayananda
