In plain words
Going there, he said, “I want a good strong poison.” In those days there was no control on these medicines, as there is now. At such a time they gave him what he asked for. On the way he mixed a little into the tamarind rice and a little into the curd rice, packed them up again, and was coming to give them to his friend. While his mala was troubling him in this way, still harsher evil feelings began in the one sitting under the tree. “If I go straight to the village, he may come back to the village some day. Once he reaches the village, he may announce to the whole village that these diamonds fell into my hands. So I must somehow do away with him. I must stab him to death somehow”: this evil feeling began in him. “If he dies, all these diamonds will come to me alone”: this selfishness arose. The friend who had come, with great love: “Little brother, here, I have brought the food for you. You eat. I shall sit by this tree and guard these,” he said, and taking the packet and opening it, he served him the food. This one did not eat the food at all. Without eating, what did he do? While the other was looking down like this, he took a knife, struck it on his neck and killed him. He fell down and gave up his life. “Now my bond is gone,” he thought. Then this one ate up the curd rice and the tamarind rice with relish. Having eaten, within a few minutes this one gave up his life. This mala, however rich a man may be, whatever valuables of every kind may come to him, not only takes away his strength and capacity to keep them, but drives him on by this mala into sinful ways that do violence to others. In the end, though such precious diamonds had come to them, neither of the two could keep them. In the end they came into someone's hands and through them went to the government.
So, if we are to root out these bad qualities, evil feelings and evil acts that have pursued man through many births, we must think of God without ceasing. We must fill ourselves with the feeling of God. We must pray to God. We must contemplate Him. We must worship Him. We must experience Him. That is the religion of man. What does this Religion mean? Realisation is religion. We must realise. We must know who we are. To know it, what must we do without ceasing? In every matter we must make the effort fit for attaining divinity. Man must realise God. Feel God. See God. Enjoy with God. Talk with God. That is real religion. To teach ourselves this religion, to experience this religion, to develop this religion, we must attain divinity. Only then will this mala be rooted out in every way. If, on top of the fruit of sin from some birth, one goes on committing sins again in this birth too, it grows like mountains.
