In plain words
Ahaṅkāra will one day bring you low and punish you. Your own heart itself torments you; if you remember the name of the Lord at all times, saying “Rāma, Kṛṣṇa, Govinda”, Ahaṅkāra goes far away. As long as a football is full of air, it cannot escape blows, can it? Our life itself is the football; Ahaṅkāra itself is the air inside it. Through spiritual sādhanas, the root cause of Ahaṅkāra; when Ahaṅkāra is destroyed, you can attain the Ānanda of the Ātma.
For that, degrees are of no use; God's grace is essential. There is no need to read a great many books. To win God's grace you need purity of citta, a spirit of service, steadfastness in duty and the growth of Prema. While students are acquiring learning, they must not enter other fields. If they do so, their learning will go lame. Keep your heart pure and love your fellow men. Treat discipline as a subject, and study the spiritual with the greatest care.
