In plain words
Working together in unity, we can achieve any task, however great. We see little, little ants all killing a big serpent. So if humanness stays united, what is there in the world that we cannot achieve? When will we gain this unity? Only when we make our hearts pure will we gain unity. Only when these hearts are pure do we let divinity into them. So unity: from unity purity, from purity divinity; we must grow in these three. But today we have no unity, no purity, no divinity; we cling only to community and flounder: ‘this one is mine, that one is mine.’ Is this what we should achieve? Casting off these petty feelings, we are all children of the one God; the God in all of us is one. Only when all push away race, religion, caste and class and move together like brothers, like one form of the Ātma, is it humanness. Only on that day will the country take shape as everlasting welfare. So we must push away these narrow feelings. We must go on loving everyone, loving them. That does not mean we should fall into some distorted love and bring dangers upon ourselves. It means we should see that there is no hatred. We must foster this kind of divine principle. Only then will our life and our divinity become one and bring Ānanda.
Embodiments of Prema! We must not waste our life still more on petty acts, gathering all kinds of outer gurus, some pūjās and rituals, thinking ‘Guru Pūrṇimā, Guru Pūrṇimā’. The guru is one. God alone is the guru. That guru: it is you. That divinity called guru-hood is within you, and yet you are trying to search for it somewhere in the outer world. The forms of Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Maheśvara are your own guṇas. What kills you, what sustains you, what protects you: these guṇas alone. When we set our conduct on the right path, that itself protects. That itself turns into Viṣṇu-hood.
Sin is not something in some other land; it clings to the deeds one does. God is not somewhere in some other country; He clings to the deeds one does.
So sin and God are not somewhere apart, as something separate. In the very deeds we do, in our very resolves, they take on their own forms. We must believe in such a principle … . My good and my bad are caused by my own conduct. My downfall or my progress is caused by my own guṇas. So you must give yourself this answer: that we must set our guṇas on the right path.
