In plain words
This throws them into still more delusions. The listeners bow to the elders' words and believe them to be nothing but truths. These are not right teachings. What we must do is not propagation but practice. We must strive in the way of doing and showing. If we ourselves fail to do what we have said, we will lose the people's trust. Today propagation in the form of practice is most necessary. Every day many lakhs of Bhagavad Gītās are printed. Every foreigner, too, is chanting the Bhagavad Gītā. They recite it. But no change in the mind comes about at all. For this change in the mind, physical change must come first. Man means Manas itself! Manas means nothing but thoughts! Thoughts mean our daily actions! In short, man means our actions! First of all we must set our conduct right. If we set our conduct right, Manas follows it. Through this change in the mind, spiritual change too comes about. But in the Bhagavad Gītā, Arjuna did not do so. ‘Kariṣye vacanaṃ tava.’ ‘Swami! I bow to Your command and will do as You say,’ he said. On the strength of this very faith, Kṛṣṇa, as though neatly giving him a few injections of glucose and calcium, taught him courage, drove away his abjectness, built up his valour and made him carry out his duty. ‘Kartavyaṃ yogam ucyate.’ This duty itself is our true yoga. For one who forgets his duty, there is disease. So we must install God in our own heart. We must strengthen the faith that everything happens only according to God's bidding. This is true charioteership. What does Pārthasārathya mean? Pārtha means a son of Pṛthvī, a man. Pārtha does not mean Arjuna. Pārtha means a son of Pṛthvī. So all are sons of Pṛthvī! So for every single person, too, He is the charioteer! So we must pray, ‘Let God Himself be the charioteer of my life.’ Then you become an instrument in God's hand. He shows Himself as the doer who uses this instrument.
