Passage 24

In plain words

However sacred the substances called ‘good karmas’ may be, if the vessel called ‘Manas’ is impure and has not been given the tin-lining called ‘thought of God’, all those substances turn to poison. So what He desires above all is the purity of the vessel. See in the Purāṇas and Itihāsas what such pure-hearted ones offered to Paramātma: Kucela gave a handful of flattened rice. What did Vidura and Draupadī give? They too gave only a palmful of gruel and a balusu leaf. What were these worth? In the world they would not fetch even half a kāsu. See what great fruit Paramātma gave for such things! Paramātma's gaze is not on the object but on the purity of the feeling. So keep your feeling sacred.
