In plain words
Aṣṭādaśa purāṇēṣu vyāsasya vacana dvayaṃ parōpakārāya puṇyāya pāpāya parapēḍanaṃ.
help ever hurt never. These two alone we must look to. When students develop such holy ideals, the land will shine bright and laugh merrily, all the more, with the green festoons of an unending festival. All of you must live in unity and joy like brothers, and grow a wide Prema towards all. expansion of Love not contraction of Love: we must not take up this narrow love. All of you say 'brothers, brothers'; this itself is what is true. This itself is what the Upaniṣads have said. We must develop the unity in many-ness. unity in diversity. Though there are so many people, one and the same principle is in all. beings are many but breath is one. We must recognise this truth. There is not one air for the people of Madras and another air for the people of Bombay, one air for the people of Bangalore and another for the people of Puttaparthi. The air that comes from within them may come, but the air outside is one and the same for all. This very thing:
nations are many but earth is one Stars are many but sky is one Jewels are many but gold is one
Things of this kind we must keep reflecting on well from childhood.
The Upaniṣad itself said it. 'Ēkō vasi sarvabhūtāntarātma': see how many bulbs there are. Here, in all the bulbs, the current is one and the same. In the same way all these bodies are like bulbs. What is called Manas itself is the light in them. What is called the power of the intellect keeps spreading out. New students have come, so I shall remind once more: for that light to come, what must we have? First there must be a bulb. It is not enough just to have this one bulb. The bulb must have a wire connection. It is not enough just to have this wire. There must be current in that wire. Only when these three come together do we gain that light. We obtain it. So, among Swami's ideals: Satya, Dharma, Śānti, Prema. This Satya itself is the current. It goes through the wire called Dharma, enters Śānti, which is the bulb, and gives the light called Prema. That itself is light. So we must make a close bond of kinship among these four. Students are surely of noble mind. But now and then these rākṣasas, rāga and dvēṣa, that have got in within, keep leading them astray. If we are to slay them, if we are to put the rākṣasa nature far from us, there is one thing alone that is the support for it. Prahlāda was the son of Hiraṇyākaśipu. The son of a rākṣasa. But 'Ōṃ namō nārāyaṇāya', Nārāyaṇa: that divine Name itself turned him into divinity.
