In plain words
In the same way, when wealth goes to a wicked man, that wealth too goes only to misuse. When that wealth goes to those with a pure heart, it becomes pure itself. It turns to good works. So wealth, learning or any other power and ability take on their form according to a man's own nature. Wealth is not bad. The ways of using it become bad or good. Not all the wealthy have Ahaṅkāra. Not all the learned have Ahaṅkāra. Their good and bad change according to their form and nature, in keeping with the influence of the mind. That is why the spiritual path alone is the right one for setting the influence of the mind on the good path.
On the spiritual path many kinds of obstacles come in the way. The very first obstacle is the vāsanās. Vāsanās are attachment and possessiveness. What kind of attachment and possessiveness? One takes all such things as worldly comforts and pleasures to be Satya. For those who hope to take God's command on their heads, set themselves to His work with resolve and win success, this is the first thing that comes in the way. “What will my relatives think? How will my friends feel? What harm will come to my name and standing in society?” With such thoughts they become narrow-hearted and, for the sake of show, for honour and respect, for passing happiness and Śānti, they lose heart and keep breaking God's command. Second, envy comes in the way. Toward whom does envy arise? Seeing those greater than oneself, the more learned, the richer, the stronger, seeing such greater people, envy springs up. The sādhaka must take care to be free of envy. Third is Ahaṅkāra. The man of Ahaṅkāra takes however many faults he has as virtues. He makes out the good in others to be faults. He tries to justify all the wrongs he does. In society or in parties of any other kind, he must get name and fame. For that he keeps breaking even God's command. Such people are not true devotees. Such a Bhakti has no close bond or kinship with God.
Hanumān himself is a fine example of this. He resolved to take Rāma's command on his head, search for Sītā and win success. Taking Rāma's command, he set out on the search for Sītā with the army of monkeys. There he reached the shore of the sea. When they saw the fathomless sea, the monkeys' hearts sank. How were they to cross it? How were they to get into this Laṅkā?
