In plain words
The people of Bhārata, born in this land of karma, so sacred, divine, ever new and noble, are unable to recognise the principle of their own culture.
Of Bhārata, so rich in noble feelings, the divine culture: to come to know its principle the people of Bhārata themselves have not been able to strive; what misfortune can there be greater than this?
We are not making the effort needed to recognise the principle of our culture. We must try to recognise our saṃskāra, our culture and our principle.
We must do the best of karmas, receive the best of fruits, and offer an ideal life
Embodiments of Prema! Every single thing is nothing but the fruit of karma! Whether you believe it or not, karma alone is the cause of creation, sustenance and dissolution. A small example. Hunger comes on. If you eat food, the hunger is satisfied. But between this karma and the result of satisfying hunger, there is a great process. What is that process? You must put the food in your mouth. You must chew it well with your teeth. You must swallow it with your throat. Only after it has reached each of those stages is our hunger satisfied. Eating is the karma. The satisfying of hunger is the fruit. Between the karma and the fruit of karma a great process takes place. That process may be today, it may be ten years, it may be ten births, but the fruit of karma never fails. So we must do this karma in the right way. We must do the best of karmas, receive the best of fruits, and offer the country an ideal life. Brotherliness, good character, integrity: qualities such as these are the chief, the precious qualities in human life. We are not making the effort needed to recognise the principle of such qualities. We have thrown a stone into a pond. The very moment we threw it, a ripple began.
