In plain words
What caste has water? What caste has fire? What caste has the earth? All enjoy the five elements alike, do they not! Merely to enjoy these castes and religions for selfish ends, they keep building up all these fabrications.
For man, sacred conduct alone is Dharma
Embodiments of Prema! All, every one, are children of God! People may build up some customs and doctrines separately. But in society all must think of themselves as one family. Bhārata is the birthplace of such sacred principles as Satya, Dharma and justice. The Veda has always taught precisely a life of Satya and Dharma. Before the students, having entered the gurukula and pursued their studies, entered the āśrama of the householder, the teachers all gathered and taught them about Satya and Dharma. This they called the ‘Śikṣāvallī’. They taught the disciples the commands, ‘Speak Satya, practise Dharma; let your mother be God to you, let your father be God to you, let your teacher be God to you.’ How equal all these words are for every class in society. They are the same for all. Look at a small example. Satya: is there anywhere a division into ‘this is Brāhmin Satya, this is Śūdra Satya, this is Kṣatriya Satya, this is Vaiśya Satya’? For everyone, Satya is the one Satya! Satya stands unnegated in all three times. ‘Satyaṃ nāsti paro dharmaḥ.’ There is no other Dharma greater than Satya. What is Dharma? ‘Dhārayatīti dharmaḥ.’ Conduct practised with a full and broad feeling, through the oneness of mind, word and deed: that alone is Dharma. For fire, the power to burn is its Dharma. For a flower, fragrance is its Dharma. For snow, coolness is its Dharma. In the same way, for man, sacred conduct alone is Dharma. We must recognise this well.

We must not hurt anyone; we must not cause anyone pain. Vyāsa said this very thing, as the essence of the eighteen Purāṇas:
