In plain words
… So she lamented. Then Dharmaja, smiling, calmed Draupadī.
Through time all things come to be, chaste Draupadī; through time come the comings and goings of plenty and of want. When one looks, weighing the cause in every way, it is time itself; n there is no man on earth whom time does not bring low.
Embodiments of Prema! Time is of the greatest importance. It is very precious. Do not waste time in doing bad deeds. Step forward, at every moment as it comes, in doing good deeds. To think, 'I will do it some time or other': time is simply not in our hands. Time is no one's friend. All must follow time; time follows no one. So, without wasting time and without making it barren, we must make our karmas fruitful. That alone is man's chief duty. Every person must recognise the truth that this body came into being for the doing of karma.
Whatever karmas we do, we must regard them as service to the Paramātma. To rest content that we are doing some karmas or other is only Ajñāna. Beasts, birds and animals too do karmas. Doing karmas is not what matters. Man's chief duty is to do karmas free of Ahaṅkāra. This alone is the chief and divine path in service. Service means simply this: we must recognise the truth, 'I am not the master.' You must believe yourself the servant who serves the master. The divinity in every man is the very form of God. These karmas root out Ahaṅkāra and bring one to the vast divinity that is the divine itself. Man must take part in services like these and make his life fruitful.
