In plain words
You must walk it; you must do it: when a child cries, the mother comes running, bends down and picks it up. The child may think, ‘Mother has given in to me!’ But that giving in is not because of the mother's weakness. It is not because of the child's power. It is the principle of Prema itself! That is all. You too must shape the children, love them with tender affection and bring them up to their full growth.
The elders have handed you the sacred name of Guru. This land honoured its gurus to the point of saying, ‘Guru sākṣāt Parabrahma.’ You must conduct yourselves in a way worthy of that guruhood, and serve.
It is not enough to prove your humanness by your form alone. An elephant has two tusks: a buffalo too has two horns. But are the two of them alike? You must prove your humanness in action. You must escape from the wheel of birth and death and attain the realisation of the Ātma. That itself is the fulfilment of birth.
If this great and foremost task is to be achieved, a guru is essential for it. If the flowers, the needle and the thread are all there, will a garland get made? Someone is needed to string it, isn't that so? If there are only gold and gems, will jewellery get made? Just because the lamp-bowl, the oil and the wick, all three, are there, will the lamp burn without someone to light it?
