In plain words
Bhīma smashed his head. He left his life with no future. Not only that. No one likes to take his name. Is there anyone among men named Kīcaka? In this way, in everything that happens in daily life, bad thoughts, bad words, bad hearing and bad looks: all these prove to us the truth that they go against man, all of them. So our Rāmāyaṇa, Bhārata, Bhāgavata, the itihāsas and purāṇas too all teach the holy path. Our conduct must be good. We cannot tell whether a man is good or bad by looking at his form. That is impossible. If he is good in his conduct, we say, ‘He is a very good man.’ If he is bad, we say, ‘A wicked man.’ We judge a man's good and bad by his deeds. So our actions must be holy actions.
Nārāyaṇa. Who is Nārāyaṇa? Nara himself is Nārāyaṇa. Nara means the Ātma. From the Ātma come the elements, space and the rest. Space and all the other elements have the name nāra. Nāra means living beings. It means water. Because He is the abode of these nāras, He got the name Nārāyaṇa. So Nara himself is Nārāyaṇa. This one is impermanent. Trusting such an impermanent principle, we are pushing away what is permanent. No. No. How much holiness there is in human nature! Human nature means holiness. We are holy beings. That is why: ‘Among all creatures, a human birth is hard to win’; human birth is hard to win. We must not make it meaningless. We must not waste it. We must not go the way of evil. As far as possible: helping others is merit, harming others is sin; from the eighteen purāṇas we have taken these two above all. If you cannot help another, sit with your mouth shut. Do no harm. Not doing harm is itself a great help: so they taught. Truths like these are there in thousands, in lakhs. We do not believe them at all.
Many people speak of Mokṣa. What is this Mokṣa? Someone says, ‘I don't want it, sir.’ An atheist says he does not want it. Communists say, ‘I don't want it.’ No one can say he does not want it. What is the reason? If one knows the meaning of the word Mokṣa, no one of any kind, atheist or believer, can say he does not want it.
