Passage 9

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

… we must try to act in a way that befits Hari. You must try to recognise this truth, my dear ones!

Among yourselves you cause one another trouble. When you come in, in jostling one another you give, to some extent, the main opening. Lust, anger and hatred: these three are the gates of hell. The gates of hell are very wide. But the gates of heaven are small. What is the reason the gates of heaven are small? What is the reason the gate of hell is so wide? Since many go to hell, they made the door big. Since few go to heaven, they go along a narrow way. It depends on our feeling. So purity of feeling itself is purity of Jñāna. Develop purity of feeling. The feelings in you are good. You do not know the way to use those feelings. If you use them in the right way, you will give a worthy example.
