In plain words
The result of sorrow is nothing but sorrow. The result of violence is nothing but violence. That is why another's joy is the very cause of a man's joy. So our Prema shows clearly only when we love others. Our own humanness shows well and clearly only when we hold others to be human beings. So, first of all, we must set about believing that the comfort of others, the joy of others, the prosperity of others, their happiness, are our very own comfort, happiness and prosperity. In life there is death. In Prema there is sorrow. In the day there is night. But when we inquire well whether the differences and the opposed feelings in each such pair are our own imagining or the nature of creation, whatever kinds of Prema, whatever opposites, whatever births and deaths there are, they themselves keep passing into changes that run counter to them. That is the nature of creation. Iron looks black and hard. But put it into the fire and it turns red and soft. So if you ask where the change lies by which redness and softness, the opposites of this blackness and hardness, come about: the changes come only through our saṃskāra. To recognise this truth, we must take part in the effort of following, to some extent, good practices, good company and the experience of the elders. From time without beginning our Bhārata has carried on, in the sacred field of the spirit, as a tradition of guru and disciple.
Moral, Dharmic and Spiritual Teaching in the Education System
A guru such as Vasiṣṭha, a disciple such as Śrī Rāmacandra; a guru such as Sāndīpani, disciples such as Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma; a guru such as Govinda Bhagavatpāda, a disciple such as Śaṅkara Bhagavatpāda; a guru such as Śuka Maharṣi, a disciple such as King Parīkṣit: precisely because such a tradition of guru and disciple has come down from time without beginning, our sacred culture of Bhārata has gone on shining in splendour, then, now, and for all time to come.
