In plain words
Whom has He deceived, and of what? To whom has He caused any hardship? Jesus is pouring out His all for the people. To revile such a Jesus is a sin,” He warned. Things like this keep happening to the good, like Jesus, at all times. Only the trees that bear fruit get the blows of stones. That is why, in the sacred books of the people of Bhārata, they have likened the good to a stick of sugar cane and to a piece of sandalwood. In the sugar cane there is sweet juice. But if we are to get that juice, we must beat the cane thoroughly to pulp. Unless we hurt it, the sweetness in it does not come to us. In the same way, all the good are like sticks of sugar cane. In these great souls there is a sweet and divine juice. To share that juice with the whole world, they have to undergo some toil. They have to face some hardships, losses and reproaches too. All this is only for good! Sandal is a piece of wood. Set it on a stone and grind it and grind it, and until it is ground away it goes on giving out a lovely fragrance. In the world, sacred persons cannot escape such hardships and sufferings; every man must lead an ideal life. Every person must regard himself as God's messenger. They must believe themselves to be a part of Him.
Where are we to search for God, who is everywhere?
We must look on the whole universe as the form of Viṣṇu. Only then shall we become those who have the strength and ability needed to drive away the bad and develop the good. If we are to earn such strength and ability, we must above all win God's Prema. Many may think in many ways. ‘For so many years I have been doing so many sādhanas for God; I have made so many pilgrimages. Yet God has not appeared to me,’ they think. Crores of people are to be seen searching for God, seeking Him out. But this looks like a great madness.
