In plain words
It is impossible to know what to make of the natures of such people, who behave without recognising the truth of what may happen the next minute. The frog caught in the snake's mouth, not recognising the truth, ‘I am ready to give up my life at any minute,’ struggles to eat a few insects of some sort. But this snake, not recognising the truth, ‘At any moment I may fall prey to a peacock and die,’ stands there foolishly, in its joy, ‘I am swallowing the frog.’ But the peacock, not recognising the truth, ‘What will become of my life the next minute?’, goes on thinking that it is eating the snake. Right behind it, the hunter has his aim fixed on that peacock. In the same way, in the world today people are trying only to swallow one another, one another, one another, but they do not recognise who is swallowing them. “What can Time do to those who have taken refuge in the Lord of Time?”: for you, who are the one who swallows time, to think of yourself, ‘I am being swallowed by time,’ this itself is the great Ajñāna.
Because you place your delusions in the body, the mind and the citta, you think of yourself merely as one subject to time. But when you believe yourself to be the very form of the Ātma, beyond this body, mind and citta, there comes the chance to recognise even this death as immortality. So, precisely because we have come into this world with this body, because we too take a part in this world, the chief aim for the young is to make the fitting effort to grasp the truth that lies in this part. To sow many kinds of spiritual seeds in these young people, who are the very form of the morning, and through that to take the vow of restoring this world once more: this, precisely, is Sāī's resolve. You are of just the right age to become the uplifters of the Bhārata to come. There is no use in telling this to the elders, who are the very form of the evening hour. That is why, because you are young, the inner meaning of these gatherings is just this: to give you, all through these days of the month, not only the culture of Bhārata but also Western culture and the views of all religions, and to shape you in the effort by which you harmonise this true form.
