In plain words
Searching and searching, at last He reached Ṛṣyamūka. What does Ṛṣyamūka mean? Vairāgya. When He had won Vairāgya, then Sītā came to Him; that is, where is this which is filled with Jñāna to be found? Where Sītā was born, there Jñāna was born. Sītā was born in this very world, in the earth itself. So here too Jñāna is born only in the kṣetra. What is the kṣetra? The kṣetra of our heart. It is in the kṣetra that is the heart that Jñāna abounds.
Just as, when we churn milk, the butter first comes up, so when we churn that heart the butter called Jñāna comes into our hands there. This butter is most pure. It is most sweet. It is most soft. Keeping such Jñāna within ourselves, we grow many desires through Ajñāna and turn our very humanness into demonic nature. In truth man is sinking in selfishness. Man is not content with what he has eaten. He is heaping up the goods needed for generations to come. For that he frets and strains. In that very straining he gains discontent. With that discontent he gains discontent, here, with neither of the two joys, of this world or of the next. Beasts and birds eat and are content. They have no selfishness at all. Those beasts and birds have neither the selfishness that hoards nor the weakness that robs. This hoarding and this robbing grow as evil minds in man alone. The bad qualities that are not in beasts and birds are entering into men. What is the reason for this? Animality still remaining in man is the root cause of it. As long as this animality remains, so long humanness cannot enter there. So we must throw out the animality that is in us. Only when we drive it out does humanness, which is divinity, enter into us. Humanness is not something we earn. It is what springs up in us by nature.
We are unable to recognise the value of time. Only when we recognise this time does one become the very form of Time. ‘Salutations to the Lord of Time who moves all things,’ said Bhṛgu. But we are making time impure. We are misusing time. Because of this misuse of time, life itself is being misused. So whatever we do, we must examine it with the power to examine what is eternal and what is fleeting. Such Prajñā we must win today. We must nourish it. These are nothing but human values. They are not received from others. We do not nourish them by reading books. They are not learned from gurus. We must practise them ourselves, rejoice in them and experience them.
We must gain the complete faith, ‘I am a man, I am a man.’
