Shri Gokulnathji's Hasya Prasangs - Prasang 3

Prasang – 3


Criticizers (regularly criticising) clean the excretions (Ninda karnara mal saaf kare che) – Once Pancholiji made a request to Shri Gokuleshji, Raj you are Ishwar, it would be so nice if you quieten (mo bandh kari do) those who are regular critics of the Bhagwadis (the devotees).
Hearing this, Krupasagar said… block the places on your body that are responsible for cleansing/removing the impurities/excretions, then see what happens, then do let me know. Hearing this, Pancholiji said: Raj, doing this would create various illnesses in our body and eventually one would die. Therefore, Shri Gokulesh said, then if such criticizers, who clean impurities were not placed here, it would not be possible for the Bhagwadis to remain purified. Therefore, Prabhu is very compassionate (dayalu che), that is why he has placed these dusht criticizers amongst us to keep cleaning the “dosh-roopi” impurities from the Bhagwadis. Therefore, one must never get angry on these criticizers (nindako)

To wash a delicate (komal) linen/cloth one requires a soft object to wash it with. Similarly, the Bhagwadis are soft/delicate, therefore Prabhu organises to remove their impurities via the soft/delicate tongues of the criticizers (nindakoni komal jibh vade dhovdave che).

Vivechen – Just in the same way to keep the body free of illness, it is required to have those places on the body which are used to remove the impurities, so in the same way, to keep the devotees pure, the criticizers are required, that is why Prabhu places them there. Being this way the devotees consider Stuti and Criticism to be on equal level. Therefore we should never criticize anyone. On the cotrary we should become happy, that it is good, without being paid, the person is cleansing the impurities. Even the Dhobi (the person who washes clothes), charges to wash clothes, whereas we have found this dhobi (the criticizers) who does not charge any fees (for washing our impurities). Therefore one should never allow the thought to enter the mind…
