In plain words
He alone who has steadied his mind is truly a man; the one who knows the Buddhi is the truly wise; the one whose word and deed are one becomes the noblest: this word of Sai is a word that tells Satya. Seeking Mukti, man goes to the three crore gods and keeps on pleading, yet his sorrows do not leave. (The reason:) if he himself kills the ego within him, why seek Mukti? Is he not himself Mukti?
Embodiments of the divine Ātma!
However small the task a man would accomplish, he has to depend on Prakṛti. This Prakṛti is no one's property. It is God's property. Unless God is favourable, no man at all can accomplish any task. When some try to set about accomplishing this task in one way or another, it keeps on failing. The Rāmāyaṇa itself is a fine example of this. Forgetting Rāma, who was God, Rāvaṇa went through troubles of every kind to win Sītā. Without Rāma's grace, all the efforts he made to win Sītā came to nothing. Not only did they fail, not only did he bring ruin on his own life: he burnt to ashes his offspring, his kin and his armies, and his kingdom. If God is to be favourable, praying to Him is the chief way.
The mind of man is like a lotus. On this lotus two bees called madhukara come to rest. When you divide these into two words, two words arise: madhu and kara. Madhu means water. Kara means the ray of the sun. Below this lotus is water, above it the sun; without these two, this lotus cannot live at all. This ray of the sun called kara keeps drawing up the water called madhu from below and sending it back down again. These two bees called madhukara are themselves the words that make up Rāma. So those who love this sweet Name of God called madhukara, who dwell on it and remember it with all their heart, will have no sorrow of any kind. More than that, it is also the supreme truth that God comes to dwell in their hearts.
