In plain words
For the educated to behave like the common run of people goes against the very aim of education. Whatever the matter, we must enquire into it not with the mind but with the Buddhi. The mind tries to enjoy whatever it desires. That is its nature. The Buddhi is not like that. Is this good? Is it bad? Is it fit to be done? Or is it not? So it enquires. But today we do not even go as far as that enquiry. We follow without enquiring, and sink into ignorance.
Humanness must be offered to Divinity
Having gained a sacred human birth, to behave like an animal is not the right way. All the time we take selfishness for our very breath. That is not right. Our breath too is the principle of God! The selfless principle is our life-breath. Every being that has gained a human birth must strive to reach Divinity, and must not sink down into animality. Hold fast to dīkṣā and never let go. Once you have taken up dīkṣā to achieve a task, however many hardships, sorrows, reproaches and harsh words may come, you must not let go. You must dedicate your life to fulfilling this sacred dīkṣā. Life is very precious. More precious than life is the life-breath. More precious than the life-breath is honour. More precious than honour is humanness. Such humanness must be offered to Divinity, which matters most of all. That alone is the fulfilment of human birth. Since a human birth has come to us, we must pass in these five subjects and receive the certificate called God's grace.
All the learning we study in the world only deludes us! It only creates bonds! The mind alone is the cause of bondage. The mind alone is the cause of the practices of Mokṣa too. We must first understand this state of the mind. ‘Yat jñātvā matto bhavati, stabdho bhavati, ātmārāmo bhavati’: this is the essence of the principle of Bhakti and Prema. It is God who draws us very close to this principle. It is He who plunges the devotee in the intoxication of Prema, He who makes him wholly intoxicated! All is God!
Every man is in the grip of the mind's restlessness and is going under. He cannot come to know what the supreme goal is, or what the Paramātma is. He pays no heed to Dharma, to morality, or even to the nation. He thinks that to enjoy whatever comes his way is Dharma, and that whatever he thinks is morality.
