In plain words
We must not be elated in the least that man's pleasures, joys and riches have come. They are not only things that come. They are things that go as well. Joys and sorrows are like relatives to man. They are like relatives who come and go, not things that stay for good. Longing for such joys and sorrows, impermanent and passing, we forget the eternally true divinity and waste our lives. Service makes the divinity of humanness shine forth. It makes the heart wide. It drives away narrow feelings. It gives Ānanda. It brings about unity. It teaches the principle of the Ātma. Through this service all the bad qualities in us go. So we must regard acts of service as man's chief sādhanas. You were born for service, not born for leadership. In the world every single person is a servant, not a leader. The wife is servant to the husband. The husband is servant to the wife; the mother is the child's servant. The child is the mother's servant. The bondsman is the master's servant. The master is the bondsman's servant. It is only by living for one another in the spirit of service that this world is growing; without the very principle of service there would be no world at all. You somehow believe, 'I am an officer, I am an officer', but you are not that at all. Every single man is nothing but a servant. Only when we live in this spirit of service does humanness grow into divinity. Only then does Śānti come to man.
What is the reason there is no Śānti? Whatever work we do, we are not doing it with trikaraṇa śuddhi. Whatever we say, whatever we see, whatever we do, all of it must be done with trikaraṇa śuddhi; so we must see, and so we must speak. Only then will the chance come for us to experience Śānti. Only when all three people in the house live with one another in harmony, with affection and happily, does peace come about in the home. When all three in the house turn against one another and nurse hatred, how can there be peace in that house? So, in this house called the body: this house is made of these three, Manas, speech and deed. Only when the deeds done with the hands, the words spoken with the tongue and the thoughts thought in the Manas, all three, become one, does Śānti arise for us. Otherwise, when we think one thing in the Manas, say another in words and do yet another in action, unrest grows in us.
