In plain words
It becomes hollow. Every person, while living as a human being, must see that others too live as human beings. While being good oneself, one must lead others too to set about doing good. Such holy feelings arise only through purity of thought, word and deed.
First of all, we must purify the body. That does not mean purifying it with soap, with water or with some other substance. We must purify the body through holy deeds. We must purify speech with Satya, with kindness and with calm. The mind must keep a little distance from the senses and try to restrain itself as far as it can. In today's modern age people do not understand what sense control means. Even beasts and birds strive to restrain their senses, but man makes no effort at all. In the modern age today, the more learning grows, the more discernment increases, the more intelligence gains strength, the lower moral standing sinks. People cannot recognise what man is. Whatever one says, there is fear. Wherever one goes, there is fear. Where does this fear come from? Where there is fault, there is fear. One who has no fault has no fear at all. Today the whole of life is bound up with fear and confusion. With science running beyond all bounds, man is shattering humanness. He is setting out to lead an artificial life. He does not set out to live as a man who truly has a heart. Where has this mind come from? It has come from Ahaṅkāra. Where has Ahaṅkāra come from. In this way we must recognise the spiritual principle and try to live as true human beings. As soon as man is born, the first thing he recognises is aham. ‘I’ is the very first thing he recognises. Aham is none other than the son of the Ātma. The son of this aham is the mind. The mind is the Ātma's grandson. From the mind speech is born. Speech is the Ātma's great-grandson. To the Ātma, aham is the son, the mind the grandson, speech the great-grandson. So we must recognise the truth that all of them belong to the Ātma's family, and must not set out to lead them on to wrong paths.
Yaśodā was telling the story of Rāma to Kṛṣṇa, who lay beside her. Once upon a time there was an Ayodhyā. In that Ayodhyā there lived Rāma — and so, telling the whole story, when at long last she came to the scene where He entered Laṅkā and set out to fight Rāvaṇa, ‘Lakṣmaṇa, where is the arrow?’ Kṛṣṇa said, they say.
