In plain words
We must achieve both of these, so we must set about developing a steady citta fit for this social service, the service of the country and the grace of God. That is very important for the young at this time. Among many young people: ‘Is there a God? Where is this so-called God? It is all mere illusion; there is no such one as God’: in talk like this they waste their time. Just so, someone once came to Toṭaka, one of Śaṅkara's disciples, and questioned him like this. ‘Is there a God! Why do you wear the ochre cloth? Why take refuge in a guru?’: he went on asking many kinds of questions. Saying, ‘I have no authority to answer such a thing,’ Toṭaka took him to his own guru. With a smile the guru told him, ‘What is your intention? Speak.’ The boy said, ‘Is there a God, Swami?’ With a smile the guru asked in turn, ‘Your God, or my God?’ ‘God is only one, isn't He? Where is there a my God and a your God?’ the boy asked. ‘You said “God is one”, didn't you? So whether there is a God or not, you tell me yourself,’ he said. In this way many, not knowing the meaning, get themselves caught, all by themselves. As to whether God exists or not, that feeling may be absent from your heart. What authority have you to speak about what is in the hearts of others? When it is not in your feeling, you have the freedom to say that for you He does not exist. Beyond that, you have no authority whatever to argue that there is no God while others worship Him, while others believe. Your head may go wrong, but his cannot go wrong. So each of us must set about carrying our life forward, relying on our own faith; but at some point in their youth, amid the sense desires that arise in them, they may forget Divinity to some extent. Later on, it is not possible to live forgetting it.
