In plain words
Churning and churning, fire is born in the wood; churning and churning, ghee is born from the curd; churning and churning, the tattva is born in the body.
There is butter in milk, but only when we churn this milk does the butter appear to us. Without churning this milk, we cannot see the butter that is in it. In just the same way, there is a sacred divinity in man. We must make it come forth through inquiry, through sādhana and through sacred Prema.
Only when we recognise well the truth that we are a portion of God can we recognise well the inner meaning of Bhakti. As long as we think of ourselves as separate from God, without such a bond, however many kinds of sādhana we perform, we cannot experience in it any divine Ānanda at all. So this Bhakti called sannikarṣa: first of all we must show it in sacred humility and obedience such as this, on seeing elders honouring them, loving them in every way and greeting them with welcome. When we see our equals, we must love them. We must make friends with them. On seeing those younger than us, we must cherish them in every way with kindness and compassion. Only when we cherish them in this way do we become people who have truly recognised the divinity within us. We must foster this Jñāna of discernment. Only then can we become people who have, to some extent, nourished the divinity within us. We must also recognise the truth that divinity is everywhere, not only in us. We must proclaim God's omniscience. The gopas and gopālas were the very ones who experienced this kind of divinity, delighted in it and gave it to the world. These gopikās and cowherd boys experienced God's divinity, rejoiced in it in so many ways, and kept giving that Ānanda to the world. They longed always for Bhakti alone. They believed that Bhakti is greater than Mukti. Prema is very sweet. It is divine. That itself is nectar. Their faith was this: only when we experience that immortal nectar with Ānanda can we attain immortality. Such Prema, such sweetness, is found in Bhakti alone. To experience such Bhakti we need not do such sādhanas. We need undergo no hardships of any kind. For karma, Jñāna, yoga and the rest we have to undergo hardships of many kinds. For the welfare of the world, for this world and the next, for their own happiness, they performed sacrificial rites of many kinds, yajña, yāga and the rest, practised charity, Dharma, tapas and the rest as well, and kept trying to attain divinity.
