Passage 16

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

Stay as Sumati and pray to God. God will … you. Stay as Sumati and mount the horse. It will run well. When your mind is …, and you say, 'My kinsmen did not protect me, God did not save me, the horse did not run' … how can it be? It throws you under its feet and tramples you. In just this way the whole world is going on today. '…ś cintayanto mām': that we do not need. 'Ē janāḥ paryupāsate': we need not worship You. … God we do not want, only His help we want. How will help come? It will never be gained …; this is contrary. Impossible. Only when you ask, 'I want God,' does God … what you asked for …; so first of all you must believe well in that divinity.

Last night I told our children too. Today, whatever the misfortune may be, because the system of education … has grown, even man's power of discrimination is becoming empty. Even that discrimination he uses as the discrimination that …. The discrimination that covers up one's own fault …: this is only selfish individual discrimination. You must do fundamental discrimi…. You must do the discrimination that concerns society and all. 'Is it … or not?': you must do it like that. The rich man sits in the car, surrenders comfortably to the driver, … and, snoring, travels in comfort. The rich man … surrender to a Gurkha and sleeps comfortably at night. And the rich man surrenders to the cook, eats what he has …, gives him the store room keys and is wholly surrendered. He …enders to a driver. He surrenders to a cook. He surrenders to a Gurkha …, but he is not ready in the least to surrender to God. So is God less than the cook, less than the …, less than the driver? See how lowly you regard Him! When we have faith in …, we need not trust the Gurkha. There is no … to trust the driver. When your luck is not good, even the driver may drink. Both may die. If we … become the object of God's grace, everything will go well. Today such … as wins God's grace has dwindled.

Teachers! I hope that you will … our children so that they become fit for God's Prema and God's grace. We do need money. In the world, comforts are indeed needed. But as much … , that much is needed. If we become fit for God's grace, everything is found right there. Today … keeps changing into a very perverse state.
