In plain words
The day when all true devotees cry out "O Lord!" and dwell on Him in tones sweet to the ear; the day when, with love, all the troubles of the poor are eased, and people live as brothers do; the day when to the bands of devotees who think on God rich food is served with love; the day when great souls, whoever they may be, come to us and in friendship tell the stories of God: that day is a day indeed, and all the rest are only days for the rites of the dead. What else, other than this, shall I make known, O members of this assembly, good men counted among the virtuous?
Embodiments of Prema!
The mind needs Śānti. Without Śānti there is no happiness. From time without beginning man has made efforts of many kinds for the sake of this Śānti. But he is unable to reach Śānti. What is the reason? What is the root and support of Śānti? The enquiry into what gives the mind Śānti has taken a very wrong road. Man has toiled for this Śānti along the wrong road that holds the pleasure of the five elements, a thing of Prakṛti, to be the Śānti of the mind. Seeing with the eyes, speaking with the mouth, hearing with the ears, experiencing with this mind: he has gone on believing that such a gift of the five senses is the root cause of the mind's Śānti. To satisfy these senses he has gone on taking many kinds of wrong paths. For the sake of this joy he set out to enjoy that joy through Adharma, through wrongdoing, through evil ways. For the sake of the individual, for the sake of selfishness and self-interest, he tries to rob others of their Śānti. Through efforts of this kind, for man and for his fellow men alike, Śānti, Śānti and comfort have grown scarce. Through desires of this kind Ahaṅkāra and selfishness have kept on growing. Through this Ahaṅkāra, selfishness and self-interest, the humanity that stood between man and man has been trampled into the dust.
