In plain words
That is why humanness is sinking so low. Prajñā is that which pervades everywhere: in the body, in Manas, in Buddhi, in the antaḥkaraṇa. It has been said, ‘Prajñānaṃ brahma.’ This prajñāna itself is divinity. How can we recognise it? When there is a dispute in the world over whether a thing exists or not, we must find out about that thing. Only then can we say whether that thing exists or not. Only when we have recognised who God is can we say whether He exists or not. They do not know who God is, but they blindly say, ‘He is not, He is not.’ When you do not know, you have no right to say that He is not. So first you must find out what God is. You are not one person but you are three. The one you think you are; the one others think you are; the one you really are. You must recognise the nature of these three. You say, ‘I am Kiśor’; how do you say it? You say ‘I am Kiśor’ on account of the body, which is a made thing. Second, others say that you are good or bad. They say this from the workings of the mind. The third is the Ātma, eternal and true.
First of all, we must try to restrain the mind
In man's life the puruṣārthas, Dharma, artha, kāma and Mokṣa, are like the four tyres of a car. It runs on the air in them called faith. These tyres do not turn by themselves. They turn by the steering called the mind. Like petrol, we fill the stomach every day with water and food. The owner sits in the seat called the heart. Buddhi is the starting switch. Only when you switch it on does the car run. That is why it has been said, ‘Buddhiḥ karmānusāriṇī’, and ‘Manayeva manuṣyāṇāṃ kāraṇaṃ bandhamokṣayoḥ.’ First of all, we must try to restrain the mind. Man is the very one who has come from the mind. Without a mind he is no man at all. Because you enjoy your humanness selfishly, you are entering a narrow path.
