બેઠક Bethak

સબ વન તો તુલસી ભઈ, ઔર પર્વત શાલિગ્રામ;

saba vana tō tulasī bhaī, aura parvata śāligrāma;

Literally
Every forest becomes holy basil, and every mountain a sacred stone;
What it means
To a self-realized soul, the entire creation appears sacred and filled with the divine.

Also said as

  • સબ નદી ગંગા ભઈ, જો ચિન્હે આત્મારામ.

Heard it differently, or know we've got the sense wrong? Tell us — that is exactly the kind of correction this needs.
