In plain words
There is a fine ideal in the Rāmāyaṇa. When he went to kill Vāli, Vāli questioned him. “Rāma! What fault have I committed? Why are you coming to kill me?” he asked. Rāma said, “You are wasting your life in conduct against Dharma.” “What Dharma have I broken?” he asked. “You have taken the wife of Sugrīva, your brother. A younger brother's wife is equal to a mother for the elder brother. To enjoy her as your wife, this is a great sin,” said Rāma. Then Vāli said, “This applies to men alone; it does not apply to us monkeys.” “You are a monkey in form, but in Dharma you follow the Dharma of man,” he said. That is, Vāli was one who recognised the Dharmas of nature. Then he asked again: “Rāma! Your rule and your practice of Dharma concern men alone; they have nothing to do with the beasts that roam the forests,” he said. “You recognise the Dharma of man, so though you are a monkey in form, for Me you are equal to a man, and I punish you as a man,” said Rāma.
In the same way, man today is a man in form, but gives his life over to the antics of a monkey. So here conduct is what matters, not form. The form may be anything. Man may learn many skills in this world and think himself of some higher standing. By practice man can learn every skill. Not only man: beasts too learn every skill by practice. Many of you will have seen it. If you go to a circus, even a monkey rides a bicycle. Even a sheep eats with a spoon. All these can learn some such skills with training, with practice. But human qualities do not come by practice. They are natural. Forgetting such natural qualities, we are setting ourselves on a crooked path with artificial ones. So today we must try to recognise well the humanness that lies on the spiritual path, the moral path and the path of Dharma.
So, above all, you must spread this WATCH that warns of the human qualities, these five, as the five prāṇas and as the five-letter mantra too. Time itself is the form of the Paramātma. So the watch shows the time on one side.
