In plain words
Or is it Asatya?” she asked. To this the king: “No, my word is one! I will surely keep it,” he said. Then she: “King! It is you I want,” she said. “Very well! From this day you shall be my queen,” said the king. From then on the whole exhibition was hers! She herself became the owner of the exhibition. All this time she had come to look round the exhibition meaning to want a few things. But because she wanted the king himself, the exhibition passed into her hands. This whole world is an exhibition God has made. The King of kings, the one who holds all authority over that exhibition, is God Himself! Every living being that comes into it is drawn to the things it needs and takes hold of them. But once the maiden Mukti came into it. However much the things in it drew her, she made no attempt to take them. The One she wanted was God alone! We must win Him, we must want Him: the One by wanting whom everything comes into our hands, by attaining whom the whole world comes under our control.
Is not the slave of desire the slave of the whole world?
Only when we water the roots of a tree are we fit to receive the fruits and flowers on that tree. All the things of this world are unsteady and passing. They can give some passing Śānti and happiness for a while, but from them we cannot have lasting happiness and Śānti. One who is the slave of desire is the slave of the whole world, is he not! So, rather than that, one must become the servant of God. Meanwhile we must try to grow in Śānti, forbearance and kṣamā. We must take on every single hardship gladly. Every pain, every reproach, even every bitter word, we must put up with and endure. Whatever harm anyone does us, we must take it as a kindness. Only when we develop such an even mind at this age can we become fit vessels of God's grace.
