In plain words
Through the ignorance that has no fear of sin, through the road that has no love of God, humanness has sunk low among human beings; this is the very upheaval of the world's Śānti.
Students!
I had hoped that Chavan, a man of experience and of authority, who in every way holds up an ideal for the country, who shows the unity in multiplicity, and who has dedicated his life to the spiritual path, would tell you many things. But he finished quickly and handed this task on to Me.
Students! The human body is one great organisation. In it, when everyone from the senior officer down to the humblest worker goes on carrying out his own duties, this organisation not only fulfils its purpose, not only becomes sacred, but also comes to reveal divinity. In this organisation the chief officer is Buddhi. Taking its lead from his ideal alone, the second officer, the mind, carries out its duty. The employees under the mind's command, they are the senses. Through workers of this kind, the machine called the body goes on doing its appointed work. The Ātma, king over all of these, makes each officer shine, makes him blossom, brings him forth and sets him on view. This Buddhi is the very officer who stands between the king and the people. Standing as the people's representative, this Buddhi itself looks after the people's welfare.
Now, Buddhi exercises the power of inquiry. The mind multiplies thoughts. Merely by the mind multiplying thoughts, the good of the world is not achieved. The mind has no independence. Only when it follows Buddhi, the minister, does this mind, which serves that minister as his secretary, come to the right state. As time goes on, now and then, without taking this minister's permission, this secretary tries to push ahead a little. He takes liberties. That is just when the power to govern falters. So the root cause of human life today pining away in so many hardships, in unrest and in discontent is this: this close relationship is not working as it should. We must try to recognise the right, appointed duty of Buddhi, of the mind, of the senses and of the body.
