In plain words
What we see are the flowers. But these flowers cannot hold together on their own. The thread that binds these flowers is within it. The flowers are many. The thread that binds the flowers is one. Only when we examine the many, passing flowers can we find the thread that is their base. Only when we push the flowers on this side to that side, and the flowers on that side to this side, do we see the thread in the middle. In just the same way, only when we push to either side the rūpa and nāma, which are passing, impermanent and untrue, do we understand the principle of the Ātma within, which is their base. Dedicating our lives to rūpa and nāma alone, and believing, ‘This alone is Satya, this alone is eternal,’ we thereby become bound in darkness.
For every object that moves there is a steady principle that does not move. We move along the road in a car. Only the car moves; the road does not move. In just the same way, the cinemas we know in everyday experience! Many pictures come and go. But its screen alone does not move. In this body, which moves by its 74000 channels, there is one principle, the Ātma, that does not move. In the same way, every object in the world too is a moving thing, not a steady one. Within humanness we must examine the steady, sacred principle of the Ātma.
Bhāratīya culture, a great ocean of knowledge. From time without beginning many kinds of obstacles have swooped down on Bhāratīya culture and kept trying to wear it down: the Buddhist religion, the Jain religion, the Muslim religion, the Christian religion and many other religions set out to shatter the religion of Bhārata. But they could not recognise the Satya that this religion is the very form of understanding, in which all religions are blended. They could not recognise that all religions are sayings of Satya that teach the one divinity.
All the religions together have taught only good; know this, and live with discernment; if minds are good, how is a religion bad? Listen, valiant son of Bhārata!
Today, through differences over religion, people forget their very humanness and run riot in sheer demonic nature. Some selfish people are wrestling it out with casteism. With religious fanaticism they are kindling a sacrificial fire of slaughter. However anyone may revile Bhāratīya culture, in however many ways, however many ways they may try to ruin it, this is a thing that cannot happen. However many ‘pump sets’ you set up and pump at the ocean, can the ocean be emptied? Whether the rivers that flow into the ocean dry up or flow in flood, the ocean neither rises nor falls. In the same way, however many people try in however many ways to bring Bhāratīya culture low, it will never crack or crumble; never shaken from its fastenings, it remains eternal, it remains Satya; it is that which bears divinity.
