In plain words
So, first of all, we must remember at least in some measure what our humanness is, and try to reduce somewhat this attachment and possessiveness towards outer things.
As long as all is going well, he forgets everything. He forgets his very own self. Then he behaves with Ahaṅkāra: "All this is mine, this whole office is mine." Whose is all this? "I have come only as an agent. None of this is mine." One must recognise this truth. This is my duty. Doing my duty is the only aim of my action. Only when we act with that kind of feeling can we enjoy well-being in all our actions. One small matter. The Veda has laid down many kinds of standards. Are we following these standards in the right way? Or not? Leaving that standard aside, he follows every other standard. First of all, one must enquire into one's own divinity. Sarvataḥ pāṇi pādaṃ sarvataḥ kṣi śiromukhaṃ… The principle of divinity pervades everything everywhere. The whole world is made of nothing but the five elements. This world is the very measure of the five elements. In such a world, if we are to live our lives and follow the principle of Ahiṃsā, it is impossible. Wherever we set foot, countless creatures die. Even in the breaths we take in and let out, so many minute creatures perish. In the water we drink, countless creatures perish. In the house we clean, so many crores of creatures perish. Wherever you look, there are only creatures. If you rub like this here, countless creatures are gone. The whole world is nothing but the five elements. Living and dwelling amid such elements, is it possible not to harm any creature? But all this happens without our knowing. Only, we must not do it knowingly. This itself, they said, is Ahiṃsā. What the eye sees, what the ears hear, what charms the mind, what makes the heart forget itself: we must first recognise this principle. We must not harm what the eye can see. That is, some creature is going along. We must not kill it knowingly. Unknowingly, countless crores perish. But for this we have one single support. We must strengthen the faith that the living beings everywhere are the very forms of God. Ekaṃvasi sarvabhūtāntarātma.
