Passage 2

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

There is no need to ask for anything else; if the intellect is pure, steady and selfless, it is as good as having found everything.

These three, all together, shape man's intellect: the culture of his past lives, the force of his prārabdha, and his future. If you use the intellect for selfish ends, the longing for moha grows; if you use it for the sake of others, the longing for Mokṣa grows. You should wish the ending of moha for everyone, along with yourself; you must examine these fields, the mind, the prāṇa, the citta and the Ātma, with the intellect, and set about making them pure. You must give Prema away, sacrifice Ahaṅkāra, show courage in the service of society, establish the feeling of oneness in society with a heart whose very form is compassion, and rejoice in beholding the Ātma-principle shining in everyone.

Every person who bears a body is himself an Avatāra in form: but then, what is the greatness of these, Rāma, Kṛṣṇa, Buddha and Christ? The difference between you and those Avatāras is only one: forgetting, and awareness. Men have no remembrance of the Ātma; Mādhava has that awareness always and everywhere. From that alone come that radiance, that brilliance, that prowess, that almighty power. The Avatāras are beyond place, time, person and the rest, beyond jāgrat, svapna, suṣupti and the rest, beyond the guṇas sattva, rajas and tamas.
