In plain words
If we install God in our heart, whatever karmas we do, they take shape as God's own karmas. So we must fill our heart with fear of sin and love of God. This itself is Indian ethos and values. In daily life we must hold every karma to be of value. We must examine the lasting and the passing. Whatever advantage or income they may bring, we must not accept at all the things that give no satisfaction to our mind. That is why we must follow our conscience. If the conscience has no satisfaction, there is no use in doing anything. Your conscience is your witness. Today those who live with the conscience as their goal are very rare. What is beyond the senses is the conscience. What is beyond this conscience is consciousness. It is spread everywhere. That is caitanya. That caitanya itself is the Ātma. Conscious is joined with the senses. Today we are living for the satisfaction of the senses, for a way of bringing the senses under our sway, but we do not recognise the principle that is beyond the senses. What we take to be dhyāna is simply knowing the nature of these senses. This is not true dhyāna. Concentration is a part of daily life. It is a chief activity in daily life. All this is joined with the senses. Now I am reading this book. A book called ‘Welcome to Our Beloved Master’. My hand is holding this book. The eyes are looking at these letters. The Buddhi is reflecting. Manas is thinking. Mind, Buddhi, hand: all these are senses. Only when there is below sense can one read. Through these below senses, reading, talking, walking, all of it, are the nature of the below senses! So, what is called ‘below senses’ is concentration. Without it I would not know even the letters. This concentration, which stays below the senses, how can it become meditation? Above senses, meditation; below senses, concentration, that is all! Between above senses and meditation there is a border. That is contemplation.
