In plain words
That supreme devotee. He refused Śukrācārya, who stood in the way of his offering, though he was his guru, and offered up his all to God. Emperor Bali. Though Rāvaṇa was his brother, when he stood between him and God and tried to keep him away, Vibhīṣaṇa refused Rāvaṇa and went over to Rāma. Even the principle of women who hold to patē gati, pati sati: when the husband stands in the way of the bond and kinship between God and herself, the husband too may be refused; so Tulasīdās laid down, and Mīrā left the Mahārāṇā and went off to Dvārakā. No one can stand in the way of the bond and kinship between God and the devotee. To form such a close bond and give one's life up to His Ānanda alone: that is the meaning of friendship.
Emperor Bali was a great devotee. Making sure no hardship came upon his people, holding their welfare alone as his own welfare, he ruled in plenty so that no trouble of any kind befell them. Emperor Bali held his people to be all the limbs of his own body. The people of that day too believed this Emperor Bali to be the heart in the body made up of all the limbs. The body is the country. Emperor Bali was the very heart in the people of this country. All the people praised the close bond and kinship between the two. In Emperor Bali's kingdom a beggar could be seen nowhere. The rains fell in their season, good crops grew, and the land stood always well and full of blessing. Even now the land of Kerala looks green, the very beauty of Nature. Because it was so sacred a place, God took three temporary Avatāras in the land of Kerala. The Varāha, the Narasiṃha and the Vāmana Avatāras were temporary, but these divine resolves were made only to uplift one family and make it fulfilled. To redeem Hiraṇyākṣa, He took the Varāha Avatāra. To redeem Hiraṇyakaśipu, He took the Narasiṃha Avatāra. To redeem Emperor Bali, He took the form of Vāmana. These three were all of one family.
Hiraṇyākṣa and Hiraṇyakaśipu were brothers. They were Jaya and Vijaya. They were the ones who held the presence of God as their treasure and kept thinking of the Name without ceasing. Because of the Ahaṅkāra with which they defied the elders, and because they insulted the sages, they had to take birth as demons. Wherever one may be, Ahaṅkāra must not enter. Diseases of any kind may be cured by some treatment, but the disease called Ahaṅkāra is not cured by any treatment.
