In plain words
It clings to the shell. When we break a coconut, we first take off the outer husk. Then we take off the shell. What is the aim of breaking the coconut? Our aim is the kernel. Not the shell. We break it as though for God, and then eat it ourselves. Our life is like a coconut. This husk is made of pride, the sense of "mine" and worldly desires. This husk is full of the fibres called vāsanās. So we must first remove this husk of pride and the sense of "mine". Then we must break the coconut called Ahaṅkāra. Then we find the white that is pure, unmoving and selfless. That is the quality of God. Pure Prema. That Prema is joined to the shell called Ahaṅkāra. The shell called Ahaṅkāra is joined to the husk of pride and the sense of "mine". The husk of pride and the sense of "mine" is the tamoguṇa. This Ahaṅkāra is the shell. The sāttvic is the kernel. We must eat the kernel called the sāttvic. For that we must break open our heart. To break it open means to offer the heart to the One who knows all, with nothing secret and nothing hidden. If one keeps even the least thing hidden in the heart, it can never be a sacred offering. To offer means: "There must be no wish of mine; all is Your wish." Some, for pride, for attachment, for the eyes of the world, say, "All is Your wish, Swami; we have no wish of our own." These are mere words! Worldly stunts. God accepts none of these. However many books you have read, He will have read bigger books than those. All learning is within Him. He is won not by your learning but only by purity of heart.
Regard the presence of God as the greatest treasure, and be absorbed in service!
One who has firm faith that "Rāma is a sacred being, He is the very form of the Paramātma" has no doubts of any kind. Even Tyāgarāja once had a doubt: "Is it my fault that these hardships, losses and sorrows have come to me, or is it that Rāma has no power?"
