In plain words
So, if we do not look on bodies or relationships here as our chief aim, if we believe the Śiva principle alone to be divinity and believe that we love the Paramātma, the Ātma within all beings, then we shall not only understand the principle of the Ātma as fully as can be, but also become persons fit to experience something of the greatness of Bhārata too and to make it known.
God Alone Is the Basis of All Powers
All our sacred histories of Bhārata, every one, have been handed to you as lived experience; there is no sense at all in regarding them, with some misconception or other, as something tied forcibly onto your head for you to take in. We must follow such great souls to some extent, carry their commands on our heads, walk in their footsteps, and pledge ourselves to restore that sacred divinity in our Bhārata. In hardship and in happiness, in blame and in reproach, what faith the Pāṇḍavas placed in Kṛṣṇa, the Paramātma! To the very end they took Kṛṣṇa's very footsteps as their commands, and the sacred practice they lived out is most necessary for every human being. Arjuna, who burned the Khāṇḍava forest heedless though the gods stood in his way; Arjuna, who, a great hero and valiant besides, won victory on every side with daring even in terrible war: while bringing the women from Dvārakā to Hastināpura, he was caught by foolish cowherds and stood there helpless, and Arjuna understood well the inner meaning of that. What was the reason? All this time, because Kṛṣṇa was with us, at our side, with form and without form, my strength and ability were so sacred. Now that He has gone from us in form, all my strength has gone along with Kṛṣṇa. Because the one called Kṛṣṇa dwells as the Ātma in all beings, we are able to enjoy our courage and daring in this world. Without Kṛṣṇa Himself we are merely like a leather bag, no more; there is nothing powerful in it at all: Arjuna grasped this, and at once he too longed to leave this world.
