In plain words
Bhārata held the place of teacher to all countries. The people of Bhārata themselves are not able to recognise the strength and power of such a holy Bhārata. A matter of foreign lands, even a small one, they make large. This is the plight of the people of Bhārata today. They have said that the stale dal in the next house is tastier than the sweet rice and the five kinds of dishes cooked at home. That is why we roam from country to country, but do not try to recognise the principle of our own land.
Today it is all money. Money. What uplift can this money give us? Develop compassion; it brings uplift. Money does not uplift. It brings a fall. So money must stay within its measure. I tell the children now and then. This money is like the sandals one wears on the feet. Only when they are the right size for the foot can one walk in those sandals. If they are large, one cannot walk. If they are small, one cannot walk. In the same way, we must have only as much money as we need. Money beyond measure brings loss of mind. It makes one mad. In the end it plunges one into intoxication. This is not what we must earn. We must earn character. Only the man of character has a place: we must recognise this Satya. From the most ancient times the culture of Bhārata, through the power of this spiritual principle, has brought stability to all countries.
