In plain words
However much water you pour into a vessel full of holes, it will not fill. So only when this vessel of the citta has no holes of any desires for sense objects will all our karmas reach the transcendent place called Divinity. Here is a little story about this. Some disciples gathered round a guru and were listening to all the good words the guru spoke. One day, in the course of such a talk, he taught, ‘In the pūjās you do and in the dhyāna you do, whatever obstacles come, however many troubles others cause, you must see that it is not broken.’ The students had great Bhakti and śraddhā towards that guru. One day that guru's birthday came round. That day many people begged him to grace their homes, each his own. There were some students who lived in the gurukula itself. A student who lived in that gurukula rejoiced, ‘It is our guru's birthday!’, and decided to do an aṣṭottara-śatanāma pūjā to the guru that day. He resolved to set out the guru's photo, have a hundred and eight flowers brought, and do the pūjā of the hundred and eight names that day. It was the height of summer just then. The heat was fierce. At that time a villager invited the guru and took him away. Then, as the guru set off for that devotee's house, he told the disciple in the āśrama, ‘My boy, keep the door shut; I am going to that householder's house and will come back very soon,’ and went. The guru went to that devotee's house and received all that devotee's attentions. He came back home when it was really hot. There were no sandals on his feet. His head was not like Mine. It was shaven. Heat above, heat below. In such a state, bearing this heat, he came running home. The disciple had shut the door and was doing the aṣṭottara-śatanāma pūjā. This guru knocked on the door. ‘Hey, Ānand, I have come, open the door!’ he was shouting loudly, poor man. ‘Swami! I am doing the aṣṭottara-śatanāma pūjā. It must not be broken. I will open it after all this is over; wait,’ he was saying. ‘Whose pūjā are you doing, boy?’ he then asked. ‘I am doing your pūjā,’ he said.
