In plain words
This very thing has been called Dharma. The root principle of this Resound and Reaction is Reflection. This Reflection is Śānti. The Reflection of Prajñā full of Prema is Śānti. The reaction full of Prema is Dharma. The echo of Prajñā full of Prema is Satya; to understand these, Satya, Dharma, Śānti and Prema, in the right way is Ahiṃsā. That is why man must begin his actions from the seat of his own Prajñāna.
What is this Satya? Is it Satya to tell what was seen just as it was seen, what was done just as it was done, what was heard just as it was heard? No, no. Truths of this kind bring many dangers with them. This has been shown to be true for the outer world alone. Real Satya is beyond place, time and person. So it is very hard for us to show such trikālabādhyata Satya in practice. That is why the Vedānta has been giving it the name Ṛta. Ṛta means transcendental truth. This transcendental truth is the fundamental basis of man. Taking this very Satya as the basis, we must make known with all our heart the truth that belongs to the world.
The moment we think over a matter with the mind, that is, with the head, we must not begin the work with the hand. This is Prajñā. We must examine it with the heart. We must enquire whether this thought is right or not, whether it is fit to be carried out or not fit. Then, only when this heart is satisfied, must we try to carry it out with our hands. This is the real value. That is to say, what we have thought over with the head we must examine with the heart, and after that carry it out with the hand. This is the chief need of education. They spoke of Human value. They spoke of EHV. Here it is not EHV. 3HV. Head hand and Heart are 3HV: this is very much needed. What we have thought over with the head we must examine with the heart, and with the hand begin the act. This very thing the Vedānta named trikaraṇaśuddhi.
There are two bhāvas that go with such trikaraṇaśuddhi. One is kriyā-bhāva, the second śāstra-bhāva; this kriyā-bhāva itself carries far greater power. Artistic sense and scientific sense. Artistic sense is far greater than Scientific sense. It is to this very sense that the highest value must be given. This is what they called bhāva. Will-power must join this bhāva. Here is a fine example of this. There is a big rock. From that rock the sculptor has to make a beautiful image. But is the beautiful sculpture in the rock? No. It is in his own bhāva. Fitting this bhāva onto that rock, that is, with will-power, the sculptor draws that form out of the rock. If the bhāva itself is empty, this beautiful image will never be made. That is why: Yadbhāvaṃ tadbhavati. Bhāva is most necessary. To understand well this power of bhāva and this will-power is most necessary. We must experience the Prajñā in which these two are blended.
