In plain words
Health is a wealth! Good qualities are a wealth! Good conduct is a wealth! Good deeds too are wealth! A good word is wealth! Good sight is wealth! A good thought is wealth! In this way man is endowed with every kind of wealth. But man today forgets these kinds of wealth, which are of use to life, and strives only for the useless wealth called money.
The worship of Prakṛti is man's chief goal
Every kind of wealth comes forth from the earth alone. Indeed man's body itself has come forth from the earth. The body of man is nothing but the essence of the food that has come forth from the earth. For such humanness, the Paramātma is the chief wealth. But money is not wealth. This humanness came forth only so that people might make their whole life fruitful through the thought of God and, along with that, enjoy worldly happiness, comforts and riches. What does Devī Navarātri mean? Navarātri means nine nights. What is night? Usually we call night what is filled with darkness. What is darkness? Ajñāna alone is darkness. Nine kinds of darkness have come forth in humanness. These nine kinds of Ahaṅkāra are the darknesses that have closed in on man. Keeping Devī Navarātri is nothing but the effort to make such nine nights bright. Who is the Devī? In the common usage of the world, people say Pārvatī-Parameśvara, Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa, Sarasvatī-Brahmā. Why must Pārvatī be put before this Parameśvara? Why must Lakṣmī be put before Nārāyaṇa? Why must Sarasvatī be put before Brahmā? It means that man began, at the very first, with Śakti. Śakti is the form of the three called Durgā, Lakṣmī and Sarasvatī! These are the powers of Prakṛti. That is why they said Prakṛti-Paramātma. That is, Prakṛti itself is Śakti, and the Paramātma is the One who holds Śakti in check.
