In plain words
and for some time after that we have been far from the Prema of God: so they keep thinking. All this is only the difference in their own feelings, not differences in God. The whole of Nature is like a clean mirror. Whatever actions you perform before that mirror, you experience only their reflection. So it is only the good and bad you have done that make it look to you as though you are near Prema or far from Prema. God's principle of Prema remains always one and the same. That Prema is nirguṇaṃ, nirañjanaṃ, sanātanaṃ, niketanaṃ, nitya śuddha buddha mukta nirmala svarūpiṇaṃ. All the loves of today take the body as their basis; love is made to grow and is broken off.
Embodiments of Prema! Neither sorrow nor joy is man's nature. They are merely imagined. If sorrow were indeed our nature, it would not be possible at all to root out this sorrow. Perform as many penances as you like. Perform as many pūjās as you like: this sorrow cannot be removed. What is the reason? No one can change a thing's nature. Sweetness is the nature of jaggery. That nature cannot be changed by any means. In just the same way, sorrow is not our nature. That is why we are able to change it. Pleasure and pain, both of these are only changes of the mind. It is through these changes of the mind that both pleasure and pain come to us. In truth we are the very embodiments of Ānanda. We are the very embodiments of the endless. We are the immortal. We must dwell on such a Satya. When will this become firm in us? Such firmness comes only when we experience the Prema of God. We must root out, to some extent, the selfishness and self-interest of "mine" and "my people". It is not that we should serve only some few and wish only for the welfare of some few. We must wish for the welfare of all. We must hope for the happiness of all. We must long for the progress of all. It was with such a sacred feeling that the ancients gave us this sacred maxim, lokās samastā sukhino bhavantu. The Veda too has taught such equality. Saha nāvavatu, saha nau bhunaktu, saha vīryaṃ karavāvahai. What is this?
Let us grow up together, let us move about together, together let us nourish the wisdom we have learnt, together let us live in friendship, free of strife, together, free of strife, let us live in friendship;
so said the Veda. But today, because we give room to feelings of difference, "ours" and "yours", strife keeps growing.
