In plain words
For that, a few coins like naye paise, shillings in those days: on that alone he filled his stomach, some days lying down hungry, and in this way he passed his time. When he wrote the envelopes and handed them over, he would say, ‘May God bless you.’ Not only that: in later times he gave tuition to many small children. When he sent those children home, he would bless them too in the same way and send them off. ‘God bless you,’ he would say. His thoughts too held a deep good thought: ‘My life will not stay like this forever; in time to come God can place me in a lofty and noble position and have services done through me.’ To all the children he taught he would say first of all, ‘Trust in God.’ A man of such deep faith. Such a man, just as he had resolved, one day became British Prime minister. He was James Macdonald. This Macdonald used to write addresses on envelopes. What fortune one must have to become Prime Minister! What grace of God one must have! What good thought one must have! So when faith in God and a man's good thought come together, they act as negative and positive, and through them we can gain any amount of result.
We do not enquire into man's condition at all. Man is far superior to all the living beings on earth, not only in the make of his body but in his intellect too. If he resolves, there is nothing at all he cannot do. There will not be. By resolve alone he can bring the universe itself under his control. But by nature man is very weak. His life is one that stays within a bound. It is limited. However great an intellect he may be, he must not forget that his life is within a limit. In this limited life itself he must use his sacred intellect and become a fitting example. If he does not use his intellect in this very life, bound by its limits, this intellect goes to waste. Today we are misusing the intellect. We do not set it on the right path. Nor do we understand it rightly. Thinking they have some cleverness, man sets it on a kind of wrong path.
