In plain words
"God is in everyone. All men are brothers. God is the Father of all," some people say. They proclaim grandly that all men are brothers, but the Bhagavad Gītā does not accept this. "Brothers, brothers," you say. You think this brotherhood a great thing. How many brothers are there not who, for all their "brothers, brothers," went as far as the Supreme Court and broke their families apart! Through this feeling of brotherhood, hatred and cruelty are growing. "Brothers and sisters!" serves well enough to call out at a meeting. Once off the stage, nothing of it remains. The Bhagavad Gītā rejected this feeling. The Bhagavad Gītā spoke of the feeling of one Ātma. It said that what is in all is One. Eko vasi sarvabhūtāntarātma; mamaivāṃśo jīvaloke jīvabhūta ssanātanaḥ. You are not a part of Prakṛti. You are not a part of the jīva. Mamaivāṃśo: you are a part of Me alone. So it said. How many believe this? How many practise it? How many live as an example? No one.
There is only one thing we must do. If you want to contemplate God, if you want to win God's Prema, there is no need to read any book. There is no harm in reading. But what you believe you must put into practice. Reading and reading and reading, we are ruining our heads. Each one's feeling runs its own way. Ruce ruce rbhinnamatiḥ: each head holds its own thought. Each thought runs along its own path. If we follow every thought, we lose our heads. First of all, make your own faith secure. Follow one faith. Walk on one path alone. Keep up sādhana of this kind, and the divine Ātma principle will dawn within your own self.
Today, along with education, we must cultivate humility and saṃskāra. Education and saṃskāra have no connection. Education is one thing, saṃskāra another. Along with education we must fill our hearts with thoughts of God. If divine feelings enter, the essence of education enters too. So saṃskāra takes root in spirituality alone; on any other path it does not take root. There are just two things to be known beyond all doubt. One: we must follow Satya. Two: we must live in Prema. My Prema is my Paramātma; my Satya is my Paramātma. I have no further need of any book. Satya and Prema are in everyone. "To see the Satya and Prema in everyone with an equal eye is scholarship," they said. That is why they said, "Paṇḍitāḥ samadarśanaḥ." Scholarship is having equal vision; we must not waste our time reading every book, arguing and preaching to others. Satya and Prema are present in everyone. Grasp them. Bring them into harmony; guard them: this is the duty. This is the sādhana of every day. So we must love God, experience that Prema, and try to give that Prema we have experienced to others.
