In plain words
This is plain proof. This is the second kind of Prema, the rājasic. To get their own tasks accomplished, they display Prema in the world, they enjoy their self-interest, and in the world they have gained they put on show a principle they have not gained. This is the Prema of the rajo-guṇa. Then the third. Pure sāttvic Prema. In the world as it is now, very few are at this level. Recognising the Satya that what dwells in all beings is the Paramātma, the embodiment of Prema itself, understanding the Satya that there is no life without Prema, without any difference of “mine” and “another's”, they go on declaring the Satya that He is the inner Ātma of all beings. ‘Ekovasi sarvabhūtāntarātma’, that is, believing the Satya that the Paramātma, the embodiment of Prema, is Himself present in all beings as the Ātma, they behold divinity in everyone. Their whole vision is the vision of the Ātma.
The one who has the vision of the Ātma is like a lion, it is said. A lion has no fear of any kind. It gives no room to any ups and downs. Fearless, it lives as emperor of the beasts, with all creatures under its sway. It does not look before and behind at all. It does not worry. The outlook of those who have the vision of the body is like the outlook of a sheep. It is ever full of trembling and fright. It wastes its whole life in trembling and fright. The one who has the vision of the Ātma is a lion. All the beasts are under the lion's sway. Manas, Buddhi, citta, antaḥkaraṇa and the senses, all these too are under the Ātma's sway. If we follow the one Ātma alone, we can easily bring all these under our control. There is nothing wrong in living the worldly life while keeping every gaze fixed on the spiritual goal. Students! There is nothing wrong in following the natures of body, Manas and citta according to your Dharma, with your goal set on the Ātma. It is very necessary to recognise the holy, divine principle at this tender age itself. A small example. When you take your ticket in the morning and go to the canteen for your meal on time, they are bound to serve you a meal. If instead you have not got your ticket beforehand and simply go on time and ask for a meal, you may get it. Or you may not. It hangs in doubt. To book yourself for the divine principle at this tender age itself. To take that ticket is very necessary.
But we should not desire this spiritual principle for the sake of its fruit. One who works for wages becomes a hired labourer, not the master. One who works for wages does not work with śraddhā and Bhakti. Nor does he do the work with a pure heart.
