In plain words
The fear of sin is gone; wrongdoing has become the way of the earth; Bhakti for the Lord of Śrī is gone; deeds too dreadful to tell have come upon the world. He who is the refuge of all ascetics, the Lord of Śrī: only thinking on His name will bring you happiness, O man!
I have read the books, I have gone through all the śāstras, I have learnt matchless learning, you say: why this pride? If you cannot fold your two hands and worship the Paramātma with Bhakti, all this present learning is worthless on earth, is it not, O man!
From ancient times in holy Bhārata, children have lived by following elders who loved to practise. Whatever path the elders follow, that is what children, the ignorant and the innocent take as their support. So today this world stands on the path shown in practice by those who are elders in every way, by great souls and noble souls. Many responsibilities, too, rest on these great ones. When we are leaders, we must also bear the responsibilities that go with it. Today we scramble for power, but we do not recognise our duty. This must be achieved through the body itself. It is through the body itself that we must find joy. “The body is the first means of Dharma.” So, with the body as our base, we must recognise the indweller of the body.
The body is made of the five elements; the body must fall one day; the indweller is free of all ill; consider: for the indweller birth and death and the marks of the fetters of delusion do not exist; see the truth: that indweller is the God of gods: mark it in your minds, as forms of the Ātma.
