In plain words
So our face and our heart are one. They are not separate. We must make a fitting effort to develop our thoughts, as far as we can, into good thoughts. Only when we make that effort does human life enjoy Śānti. Because we go on, day after day, without checking the thoughts that arise in us, we gradually fall into ill health. Another small matter. We think badly of someone or other. Feelings of envy may come: that they should be ruined, that they should not rise higher than us, that they should pass in Third class and I in 1st class, that they are so much better off than I am. Wishing others ill, we may harbour many bad feelings. The evil feelings we have willed work on others only to some extent. They may harm them. But those very feelings turn back on us as a weapon and set out to harm us too, to some extent.
A small example. The Kauravas tried to take revenge on the Pāṇḍavas, who were Dharma embodied. They tried constantly to torment them with evil feelings. But all their feelings worked on the Pāṇḍavas only to some extent. Gradually those evil feelings turned back on the Kauravas themselves and brought about their downfall in many ways. So we must not hold evil feelings against anyone. It is not good to revile anyone. Envy is worse still. When we try to see that such evil feelings do not enter our heart, we can live our life as pure, holy, peaceful and ideal. That is why we must try to develop our thoughts in the right way in life. As a cloth is all threads, life is all thoughts. Even in dreams there are thoughts. When are there no thoughts? Only in sleep. In sleep there is no body. There is no world. There is no sorrow. So on the day we uproot the thoughts within us, on that very day our life will be at peace.
