In plain words
It is by the power of the eight powers that the whole world goes on. So, if you ask where God is, God is within the eight powers themselves. Truly, … man forgets his own nature and toils for power. Svabhāva … power is needed. They toil for these petty powers. We must foster our svabhāva, our own nature. Sva-bhāva: the very feeling of the Ātma is our svabhāva. The day we foster these values, Love, compassion, tol…rance, that itself is God's … . That itself is svabhāva. It is svabhāva that is needed, not power. All these are passing … ; they keep coming and keep going. All the great souls in the world are those who have … God's … .
Though the authority was his, Śrī Rāma went to the forest, saying, ‘I do not need the kingdom; the word must be kept.’ Holding that in the Ikṣvāku line a word once spoken must not be broken, for the sake of the word he gave up the kingdom; giving it up, he tied on only bark … and wandered in the forest in the garb of a renunciant. Though he lived so, Rāma's Name spread through the whole world. Rāvaṇa was swimming in every comfort and every pleasure. … at the name Rāvaṇa, people call him the supreme demon. At the name Rāma, they join both hands and bow. The bow is to Rāma, who understood the feeling of the Ātma. The one who understood only the material feeling is held in contempt. We must stay united with the principle of the Ātma. ‘Holding together we stand, splitting apart we fall’: today, because we divide, we are falling. We are dropping away. In the end we are burning away. So we must not split apart at all. Only when we develop unity does divinity reveal itself to us. If, with the feeling that God is right with us, … , right beside us, we hold the feeling that these powers are below, then … there is no need of any great effort for divinity. … God is near me. Body is the temple of God. This is moving temple. This temple is going about. It is moving. If we keep safe the feeling that wherever this temple moves, God is there all around, the full faith comes that God is right with us, that He is within us. It is this very faith that we must foster greatly. … fine teachings keep going on. Whenever you think, ‘Where is God? … where?’, the answer comes, ‘Ahaṃvaiśvānaro bhūtvā.’
