In plain words
Embodiments of Prema! Knowing that humanness is not made only of muscle, of blood or of bone, but that it has a subtle body too, called Manas, Buddhi and Ātma, we must by all means step forward to set this body of the five elements on fruitful paths, so as to satisfy that subtle body. Embodiments of the divine Ātma! Above all, our life journeys on through ups and downs of many kinds. Falling prey to many hardships and losses and sorrows, bearing griefs and enduring them, we must today take up the divine path that wins this Ānanda; we must follow it. We must walk in it. A chance like this is very hard to come by in our life. Within our life, moments like these are very fortunate moments. Only when we make moments like these fruitful will we have the chance, at some time of hardship or some time of sorrow in our life, to think back on an event like this and so make our birth fruitful. Truly, it is in villages like these that honesty and integrity still stand, in some measure.
Embodiments of Prema! Life is not something that has merely come from outside. It has emerged from Brahman. Life has come from the Ātma alone; it does not come from food. However many kinds of inquiry or effort we go through, with a divine life such as this we end up as the cause of many sorrows. What is the reason for this? As a branch is a part of the tree, life too is a part of Brahman. So only when we attain the principle of Brahman, of which life is such a part, will we have the chance to experience the eternal Praśānti whose home is Śānti. To be born in the divine and glorious land of Bhārata and to stay far from a chance like this is truly our misfortune! It is vital that we recognise that these very villages are, in some measure, the home of mutual regard, of unity, of harmony and of contentment. To eat something or other, drink and sleep, and so bring life to its end, can never be man's duty. “Of all creatures, a human birth is hard to win.” Human birth is supremely exalted: it is sacred; it is full of meaning. When such a birth has come to us, we must choose, as far as we can, the fitting means to make that birth fruitful: thinking of God, remembering God, satsaṅga, sacred paths, and service that helps others. Truly, we must try today to recognise this Satya too: that such divinity is there in humanness. God is the inner Ātma of all beings. He dwells within all. God is none other than the embodiment of the Ātma who dwells in all beings. Your body itself is a temple. “The body is declared the temple; the jīva is the eternal God.” Humanness has come to us so that this eternal Ātma may make this new body its temple and give the world a life that is, in some measure, an ideal. To make this humanness fruitful, we must take up a new path today: to spend at least some time in satsaṅga and become worthy of the sacred grace of God.
Truly, it is natural that there are many hardships and losses, sorrows, adversities and the like in the villages.
