In plain words
Then the Manas. Without it we would not carry any desires at all. Man today travels only as far as the annamaya, prāṇamaya and manomaya. That is why the whole of man's Buddhi is going outward. Then the vijñānamaya. That faces inward. Hidden within the inward-facing vijñānamaya is the ānandamaya.
You must begin with the annamaya and come to your end with the ānandamaya; you must not end merely with the manomaya. We are stopping at the manomaya itself. That is why many kinds of demonic qualities grow in man. It is because this demonic nature grows in nara that they said Naraka-asura. If you ask where these demonic qualities are taking us: to naraka. Since these demonic qualities lead to naraka, we must first of all cut them down. In every man this demonic quality takes on the form of Naraka; forgetting the Ātma, men drive humanness away for their own pleasure alone. It is through forgetting humanness that this upheaval of unrest has come about. Who is Kṛṣṇa? The Paramātma, the very form of the five elements. When we take refuge in the Paramātma, He destroys Naraka, the demonic nature that is Ajñāna, and grants us Śānti and happiness. Because Kṛṣṇa helped in some measure against the fear and alarm that were overwhelming man, people in those days held festivals of joy and kept many celebrations in this way.
The Highest Meaning of Dīpāvali
Ekaṃsat viprā bahuthāvadanti: what is, is one alone. Ekohaṃ bahusyāṃ: the one Paramātma alone has kept taking on many forms. To teach such divine truths, we take one candle and go and light many lamps. Today is Dīpāvali day. With the help of one single lamp we light all the many thousands of lamps. The light that ever is, is one alone. The lights that are lit are many. The light that lights them is the Supreme Light. The lights that are lit are the lights of life.
