In plain words
But our education does not come merely from a school, or from a college; there are so many kinds of learning to be gained from every side of the world. What we must learn in the labourer's work, what we must learn in the farmer's work, what we must learn in the bazaar, what we must learn in trade: education has no end at all. There are so many things to be learned from each and every place too. We must look on this universe itself as a school.
From the time you rise from sleep until you go to sleep again, for your belly's sake you spend your life away without limit or reckoning; your learning you pour out, the lotus-petal-eyed Lord you forget: what great joy have you won? Weigh it with a glad heart, O man!
So they have said. So keep the thought of God in the seat of your heart, and see living beings too in this thing called brotherhood; then surely everything becomes sacred. When we want to attain such a sacred state, we must set about driving out of ourselves the four thieves called kāma, krodha, lobha and moha. As long as these thieves are inside us, we cannot trust that this wealth called Jñāna will be ours. But once we have driven out these thieves, we must take another, greater thief into ourselves. That thief is none other than God. That is just why the name Cittacora truly fits Him. He leads Sūradās by the hand for some distance, and then, the moment Sūradās asks, ‘You are Kṛṣṇa, my dear one!’, ‘Aha! This Sūradās has found out!’ — and at once He lets go of his hand and moves far off. Then Sūradās says:
Subtler of form than the atom, You are mightier than the mighty; ever and always, they say, You never leave the eighty-four lakh kinds of living beings; from atom and speck of dust to blade of grass and stick, You shine in undivided form, they say; among great thieves You are the master thief. (Can we ever find You out?)
