In plain words
That conduct must be the same whether we are here or wherever else we go. If our behaviour changes with the place, we are not human beings at all. So the true human being must be one who does not change. One who changes from moment to moment is no human being at all, but a demon. So, first of all, keeping karma in our hearts, we must set about making every act we do holy. Not only the karma done with the hands: the karma of hearing with the ears must be holy too. The thoughts we think must be holy. When holiness enters every karma in this way, that itself is the sāttvika food given to the body. Sāttvika food does not mean eating a dozen bananas or half a seer of pulao. Drinking two seers of milk and a kilo of curd like this is not sāttvika. That increases tamoguṇa. The food we eat goes in through the mouth. Of the five senses, the mouth is only one! When we take in ‘food’ of rajoguṇa and tamoguṇa through the other senses, how can it be sāttvika? Only what is sāttvika must go in through the five senses. That is true sāttvika. Sāttvika speech. Hearing, thought and sight must be sāttvika. Bhakti to God does not mean only singing some bhajans, or longing for Swami, and no more. Divinity must shine out of every karma we do. No one is the cause of anyone else's sorrow. As Bhīṣma said, each one must live through his own karma, and must pray to God to be freed from those karmas. So our karma must be filled with Dharma. This Dharma must be filled with Brahman. Karma filled with Brahman takes shape as a noble birth. There may be no birth at all. So I hope that you will not forget the faith, ‘Life rests on these four pillars, birth, karma, Dharma and Brahman,’ and with My blessings I bring My discourse to a close.
