In plain words
All religions together have taught only good; one must know this and move with wisdom. When minds are good, which religion is bad? Listen, O heroic son of Bhārata!
All religions teach Satya alone. All religions make us practise Dharma alone. All religions: Mātṛdevo bhava, pitṛdevo bhava, ācāryadevo bhava. They teach precisely that you should revere the guru. To revere elders, to uphold fame and honour: all religions teach only such broad ideas. But because of the fault in our minds we regard even the religions as at fault. to realise is religion. Every religion teaches these sacred sayings alone. Man must make a fitting effort to live in humanness. Today it does not matter if man does not become Mādhava. Man must live as man.
Our Upaniṣads have taught that he alone is man who lives in the world with humility and obedience.
He who keeps in mind the Poet, the Ancient, the Ruler, subtler than the subtle, the Upholder of all, whose form is beyond thought, sun-hued, beyond darkness.
Who is the poet? Is it man? No. Man is only the one who puts words together. Only if these words are pure can he put them together, is it not so? Words were born even before man. The One who arranged these words is God Himself. How must the poet be? The poet is one who has seen the three times. He alone is the poet who can see past, future and present. Who is this poet? God Himself. What does purāṇam mean? The Rāmāyaṇa, the Bhārata and all such are not purāṇas. Purāṇa means this: whatever power of consciousness moves in the town called the body, from the nails to the crown of the head, that alone is named purāṇa. Every man shines with the power of consciousness, so he himself is purāṇa. He is the form of the whole, not the form of one individual. He is not one who is in one person only. The consciousness that is equally in all is itself Divinity.
