In plain words
Seeing no wrong, taking all as right, the genial go on singing praise; the wrong as wrong, the right as right, the wise go on declaring; not knowing the right, taking it as wrong, the wicked go on reviling; forcing every right into a wrong, the impure go on quarrelling. Look at the first three, and there is some sense in them; but consider the man who stands at the fourth level: who could be more of a demon than he? O members of this assembly, noble souls counted among the virtuous!
However much learning you gain, what is the use? Who has the power to escape what is written on the brow? If evil notions settle in your head, the intellect withers, and hardens into stone.
Students, embodiments of the sacred Ātma!
No strength in the universe surpasses the strength of God
We ourselves are the cause of the state we are in today. For good or for ill, the cause of our state today is nothing but the form taken by the fruit of the karma we did in the past.
