In plain words
That is, demonic nature itself! Naraka is a demon. The Ātma is divine Godhood. Though this principle of the Ātma is in all human beings, it cannot be recognised so clearly. If we want to recognise it, we must develop the citta. Humanness is the very form of these three: Ātma, Manas and body! One who follows the body turns into a beast. One who follows Manas turns into a demon. One who follows the Ātma takes shape as God. One who follows all three, Ātma, Manas and body, takes shape as a human being. Naraka means one who follows only Manas and the body. He is one who behaves at some times as a beast and at other times as a demon. In him divine Godhood is not seen at all. Who is a beast, who is a demon, who is a human being, who is God: of this we ourselves are the witness. Within us ourselves lies demonic nature, within us beastly nature, within us human nature, within us divinity. The beast in man, the demon in man, the man in man, the God in man. We must sort this out well within ourselves and make the right effort to nourish our humanness on the right path.
Only when the life-principle called Prema enters them do sādhanas gain a sacred place
All the sādhanas we do give only passing satisfaction. Only when the life-principle called Prema enters these sādhanas do they gain a sacred place. ‘Prema’ is not something of the world. Love of wife and children, love of property and possessions, love of kin and friends: none of these is Prema. These rest only on the power of desire and the power of attachment. Only for the Prema shown to God alone does the two-syllable word ‘Prema’ have its full meaning. Today, failing to recognise this, people send Prema down paths of many kinds and make their citta still more impure.
