In plain words
Send up what is below. Raise what is in the jīva principle into the Paramātma principle. This is the highest principle. But people cannot recognise this Satya. People sink into the principle of Prakṛti, which is fleeting, unsteady and impure, and smear themselves with still more dirt. This is Satya, and that is Satya. We should not think that we are travelling from untruth to truth. lesser truth to higher truth. Both are truths. Truth is truth. Satya is Satya. Satyameva jayate. Satya alone triumphs. Those who hold to this Satya can understand Divinity well, but it cannot be understood through what is outward.
The shapes may be somewhat small or large. But recognise the Satya that the inner principle is one. There is a small zero. Here is another, a big zero. There is a zero bigger than that. Then there is a zero as big as this building. In these zeros, their shapes are small and large, but their value is all the same. zero is zero. But there is One who gives value to all of it. He is the hero, He is God. If we leave the hero aside and give to the zero, our life becomes zero. Things of Prakṛti teach us that they are only zero. What is the earth like? It is a zero. It is round. What is the sun like? He is a zero. He is round. What is the moon like? It too is a zero. When everything is a zero, is our life not a zero! So this whole of Prakṛti is zero. It keeps teaching, ‘nāsti, nāsti’. Āsti is One alone. That is Divinity. If we hold God alone as our wealth, then ‘nāsti’ will never come near us.
Students! Do not try to win Divinity through learning and its attainments. Divinity can be won only through Prema. There is a little story about this. Once, strolling on the bank of the Yamunā, Kṛṣṇa saw the Ānanda of the gopīs, the feelings of the gopīs and the zeal of the gopīs, and went along smiling to Himself, it seems. How pure of heart the gopīs are! They care for no one at all. All their hearts are bound fast to My own heart alone.
‘Though their mothers-in-law cry out, and their husbands whet their knives, they do not open their mouths, they do not grow angry, they do not make a public scene, they are not afraid; the gopīs have stayed like pictures painted in a book,’
Kṛṣṇa said. Just as, when print is set on the paper in a book, the print and the paper become one, so the gopīs' hearts and the form of God became one.
