In plain words
Mark this well. Even dogs have the power to sniff out the smell of the bad thoughts and the good thoughts in people. When cattle and wild animals have this power and capacity to recognise in this way, does a human being not have it? A human being has it too. But a human being tries to cover up his thoughts. You have the chance to recognise clearly, on the face, what is going on in every single person. When you meet someone who has done a wrong, or stolen another's property, or abused others, or spoken Asatya, examine his face carefully. It looks like a face full of a kind of fear and confusion. The reason is that these bad thoughts enter our body, and so these blood cells are badly damaged. The nerves grow weak. The lips tremble. His face itself changes in bewilderment. Little by little his health too is shattered. So hiding thoughts holds great danger for us. Well then, if we think of speaking them out, it brings disgrace. So speaking them out is a great disgrace. Covering them up is dangerous. So the moment our thoughts come, we must try to cut off bad thoughts at once. These bad thoughts grow very powerful and keep tormenting our whole life.
The root cause of the many kinds of wrongdoing, injustice and unrest in the country today is nothing but people's bad thoughts. Some thoughts are limited. Some thoughts are limitless. At no time at all should we hear bad things. We should not see bad sights. We should not speak bad things. We should not do anything bad. That is why I keep saying again and again, "See good, Be good, Do good." Whatever kind of thoughts we see, hear and speak, all of them take on a form, in the shape of saṃskāras. All these stand in our way at every step of our daily life. To mention some, there are, for example, some lawyers. There are some journalists too. All that they hear, think and speak is nothing but bad. Because all these complaints come to them. So their faces are all faces of torment. The reason is that within them the bad thoughts are always doing that same work. What must one say against this? How must one act against that?
