In plain words
'Through him this trouble came to me; through this one this trouble befell me': to … so is merely a weakness. Whatever has to happen, whenever … wherever, that is what must happen. Who, …, where, what, with whom: we must inquire well into these five. Only when we have inquired into all of these do we clearly know its …. We do not think about any of these. Why did the plane …? From 'why' we get no full answers. Where, who, why: these … akabaṟa. In every matter we … the divine power of Manas the more. Manas is the Ātma's very power of resolve. Manas is not dry walls standing apart. Inherent … in it is the Ātma. First of all, the senses. Above these senses, the mind. Above the mind, Buddhi. Above Buddhi, the Ātma. So Buddhi is very close to the Ātma. Therefore Buddhi … the Ātma. The mind must follow this Buddhi. Instead of following Buddhi, which is above it, it follows the senses, which are below …. It follows what is below, but not what is above. That is why it falls prey to certain sorrows, troubles and griefs. What fate befell Kaikeyī, who followed a maid lower than herself! Had she followed Daśaratha, who was greater than she, this Kaikeyī would not have fallen prey to sorrows. Kaikeyī's lord was Daśaratha. She did not follow her lord. She followed the servant, and that is why ill fame …. She lost even the lord of her life. One … follow someone who is lower than oneself. The senses follow the body. The senses must follow Manas. Manas must follow Buddhi. Buddhi must follow the Ātma. That is the proper path. So when we follow this proper path, we can gain true Ānanda. …, you must not follow your senses. The mind must follow Buddhi, and Buddhi the Ātma, in this way. When we honour those above us, those below us honour us. You bow to your master; then those below you will bow to you. When you do not honour your elders and do not bow to them, how will those below you honour you? You want the … to honour you, but are you honouring those above you? First of all honour …, and then receive your own honour. Children must … this well. First of all, honour the elders.
