In plain words
What does that mean? Such deep faith. He gave no room to doubts such as: can I do this or can I not, have I the strength or not, what kind of plight will I come to. But people today
will not heed a good word spoken to them from the heart; a bad word quickly falls on the ear; can such people ever come to know Me? Whatever learning they have, what is the use?
Speak to them with Prema and from the heart, and still they will not heed those good words. Bad words go straight in. The words that went into that ear pierce the heart. So barbarous has the influence of the Kali age become. And to this they give the name civilisation. This is not the Kali age; it is the age of strife, the age of impurity; we must win through with ease. How?
If we become worthy of God's Prema, we can achieve any great deed, however great
We must become worthy of God's Prema. If we become worthy of Prema, we can achieve any great deed, however great. There will be no room for doubt: ‘This can be done, this cannot.’ So become worthy of Prema! How are we to become worthy? That Prema is in you too. We must strive for the oneness of those two Premas. That is ‘I and you are one’: two bodies, one life. That is the true ideal. ‘Ekātma sarvabhūtāntarātma’: how beautiful it is!
The essence of all the books of Vedānta I shall tell you once, in a single sentence: the Ātma that dwells in all beings, and I, are one: think this in your heart, dear ones.
