श्रोते पुसती ऐसें । माया ब्रह्म तें कैसें । श्रोत्यां वक्त्यांच्या मिसें । निरुपण ऐका ॥ १ ॥
श्रोत्यांनीं असा प्रश्र्ण विचारला कीं, माया व ब्रह्म हीं कशीं आहेत? श्रोता व वक्ता यांच्या संवादाच्यायोगें त्याचे निरुपण ऐका.
The listener asked, "What is maya and what is that brahman?" Therefore under the pretence of there being a speaker and a listener, listen to this discourse (truly there is One; both the listener and speaker are within you only; maharaj- you come here because you think you are ignorant and you think that I know. But there is nothing but you in the world, so where does the answer come from?).
