In plain words
The good and bad conduct that lies within men does not show on the surface; it does not come out. Each one's conduct, to that one alone, it hands back in the birth to come, never forgetting. Who placed the organs of digestion in the body? By whom do birth and death keep coming about? To learn to know Him, that is what becomes Jñāna: do not forget a good word such as this.
Embodiments of the divine Ātma!
‘Salutation to Time embodied, who can set all things moving,’ said Bhartṛhari. Time is of priceless worth. We must not waste even half a moment of time so precious. All must follow this sacred time; time follows no one. God is that very Embodiment of Time. It is most necessary to win, through good deeds, the grace of the Paramātma, the Embodiment of Time, and so make life worthwhile.
Bhārata, which won a sacred renown; Bhārata, which won the renown of the world; Bhāratīya culture, which spread across the world: Bhāratīya culture is the very image of that eternal Satya which time does not alter, history does not erase, the deluge does not lessen and creation does not increase. The rites of yajña, yāga and the like are nothing but reflections of this culture.
What is yajña? Ten ṛtviks gathering to offer everything into the fire, chanting the mantras of the Ṛgveda, offering the mantras of the Yajurveda with svāhā, invoking God with the singing of the Sāma: these alone are not yajña. To offer to God the fruits of all the karma man performs: that is yajña. Sarva karma bhagavat prītyarthaṃ. Man must hold every karma he does to be God's karma. Be it small or great, worldly or of the world beyond, be it bound up only with pravṛtti or with nivṛtti, all the karma man performs is done only for the pleasure of God. Every person is an ācārya, every person is a ṛtvik, every person is the very embodiment of Brahman. All the objects seen in the world are nothing but reflections of God. God is He who pervades everywhere.
