In plain words
Man must cultivate noble feelings and good conduct
Man makes many kinds of efforts for the sake of Ānanda. With ceaseless toil, with unending anxieties, with endless desires, with a pain he cannot understand, man scrambles after a gain whose form is out of reach, and falls into unrest. Though man has the right to experience Ānanda, he cannot experience such lasting Ānanda only because he fails to make the effort it calls for. Ānanda is Brahman! This is God. You may give it any name. But, falling under the sway of place, time and circumstance, man forgets his true form, puts his faith in the form of the world, which is impermanent, transient and Asatya, and lays waste his own life. How man understands his own life depends on his own qualities and on his own feelings. In short, the conduct of a man belonging to a country, to a nation, rests on his qualities alone. When man's conduct is good, when man's feelings are noble, the nation or the country gives and enjoys a life that is sacred, noble and ideal. When man's ways and feelings are perverted, the country too and the nation too decline. So man must strive to develop noble feelings and sacred ways in himself.
The essence of all religions, the root of all scriptures, the goal of all paths is one!
‘Man means one who has faith’: that is the meaning. This is a saying of the Upaniṣads. Only when one puts into practice what one has believed does one's faith also go on growing. But for the man of today, faith takes on a merely passing form. He cannot put into practice what he has believed. He covers it over with words alone.
