In plain words
Forgetting this sacred feeling, believing that the body alone matters and that the worldly alone is our support, we fall into many hardships in a life that is impermanent and transient. Today we must recognise the Satya that for human beings who fall into unrest, struggling after what cannot be had, with ceaseless toil, with constant anxious striving, with endless desires and with anguish they cannot understand, the fine lamps that show the way are the lights of the spirit. Only then does humanness find its fulfilment.
The spiritual principle is what shows the unity in diversity
The spiritual is most essential. What blossoms and shines in man all the time and lets him see many paths is the spiritual. The spiritual does not mean only solitude, a lonely life. The spiritual principle is what regards the whole of mankind as one and shows the unity in diversity. That is the culture of Bhārata. Such a culture, from time without beginning, began in the villages and spread as far as the towns. But today culture begins in the town and, by the time it reaches the villages, it is coming to an end. This is the difference between those days and these. Neither by today's studies, nor by today's ways of living, nor by today's modern equipment can we make our lives progress. Today we must, to some extent, reflect in our hearts on the ancient culture that has come down from time without beginning.
Only when we set aside personal differences and grow a broad heart does the progress of the village become possible
The welfare of the village is the welfare of the country. When all the people in the village are given what suits them, when mutual goodwill is set up among them and they live together like brothers, there is every scope for the village to progress. There may be personal differences. But we must set them aside and develop the broad heart the progress of the village needs.
