Trailokyā Uvāca:-
1) Dattasvāmin! Guru Svāmin!, Dattātreya narākṛte! ।
Kiṃ jīvitasya lakṣayaṃ naḥ?, kimetasya ca sādhanam? ।।
[Ms. Trailokya asked:- O Dattaswami! O Lord of Spiritual Preachers! O Human incarnation of God Dattātreya! What is the ultimate goal of this human life of us? What is also the path to attain such ultimate goal?]
Dattasvāmī Uvāca:-
2) Ānandaṃ māmajānanto, nityaṃ cintā parāyanāḥ ।
Ime manuṣyā dhāvanti, karmayantreṇa cūrṇitāḥ ।।
[Shri Dattaswami spoke:- These human beings are always running in their lives filled with continuous worries, getting powdered by the mechanical worldly duties, without recognizing Me, the infinite bliss.]
3) Gurava stattva mutsṛjya, mano vaidyāyitā ssadā ।
Bodhayanti manaśśāstraṃ, bādhā śāntyai vinauṣadham ।।
[These spiritual preachers are leaving entirely the spiritual knowledge, which is about the details of divine personality of God. They have become pure professional psychiatrists preaching psychology involving the methods of temporary and superficial psychological cure to get momentary relief from mental stress attained from the punishments of sins without finding the root sin and its proper medicine.]
4) Upāyadā ssvayaṃ vyaktā, Daivamūkā navāgatāḥ ।
Vijñā vijñārtha mandhatvāt, purāṇā daivikā iti ।।
[These spiritual preachers keep silent about God as far as possible so that they project their personalities by giving the cure of stress. They feel that the ancient devotees were uneducated and ignorant by blindly becoming mad of God and feel that they are modern incarnations of God or Sadgurus suitable for the modern intellectuals, who are just interested in the relief of their stress without the help of God.]
5) Parivartana vikṣepa, pūrṇa mokṣāyanai stribhiḥ ।
Śāntyupāyo mano mārgo, jvarasyārdra paṭopamaḥ ।।
[The mental stress can be permanently removed if the soul undergoes reformation through realization (knowledge), repentance (devotion) and non-repetition of sin (practice). At least, the stress is temporarily removed by postponement of punishments given by God through devotion or the stress is permanently removed through the climax devotion in which God undergoes all punishments of sins of the devotee. All these three methods are the medicines with variable potencies in various cases whereas these psychological tricks preached by modern preachers are like pacifying the fever with the help of wet cloth on forehead without using the medicine!]
