In plain words
Dharma and Satya are entwined, each resting on the other. ‘There is no Dharma higher than Satya’; so a human being must take on the very form of Satya and Dharma. It is this that a human being must choose. It is on these two that the world must be borne. We must strive to cross over by the good path. The ways to cross over are Satya and Dharma! Dharma means good conduct. Our conduct must be right. We may recite verses of many kinds about what Dharma is, ‘Dhārayatīti dharmaḥ’, ‘Dharmo rakṣati rakṣitaḥ’. But true Dharma is good conduct, right living! When conduct is right, life becomes a life of peace.
We should go into the villages and towns and teach them Dharma, that is, ‘Do not speak ill of others, do not do others wrong, do not harm others. Do your own duty; make your heart pure!’ These are what we must teach them. The minds of people today are covered with great impurity and filled with great impurity. The fish moves about in water. It lives in water, swims in water, survives in water, is born in water, dies in water. In the same way, we are forever taking part in evil deeds. Hatred is a great enemy. We must do evil to no one. We must wish no one evil. We think we are doing this to someone else. We think it is someone else we are wishing it on. No, no: when you laugh and laugh as you do harm to others today, tomorrow you will have to weep and weep as you suffer it. We must live in the present with the future as our aim. Keeping divine feelings before us, we must live our life in the action that is the present. The goal is divinity; the action is the way of the world. Only when we do every action in this way to please God does our life become fulfilled.
