In plain words
In this same way, though each has a form and name of its own, the Divinity that is in them all is one!
Only when we control the senses does the grace of God come
The ears are able to hear, but they cannot see. The eyes are able to see, but they cannot hear. The nose smells; it can do no other work. Man today is misusing these senses. He gave the tongue. ‘Bikṣānnaṃ deharakṣaṇārthaṃ.’ ‘My dear! For the protection of this body, eat food that is sacred, pure and fit to eat. Instead, if you chew and eat whatever you please and send it down to the stomach, saying there is a stomach, there is a mouth, there are teeth, it will be ruined.’ He handed us this belly only to bring health. We must try to eat whatever brings health when eaten. He gave the nose. ‘My dear! Make the lungs work by breathing in and breathing out alone, and live well,’ He said as He gave it. But it is not doing its proper work. He takes Snuff and sniffs it. What is the nose for? What work does it do? Through these doings many diseases are beginning. Only when we enjoy each limb along the path, at the times, in the places and in the way it ought to be enjoyed does humanness become worthwhile. Today man's control of the senses has been wholly rooted out. Only when we bring it under nigraha does anugraha come to us. When we want anugraha, we must achieve nigraha. ‘Sādhiñcenē ō manasā sādhiñcenē’: what did he achieve? He achieved the Divinity that is in humanness. Speaking of this very thing, Tyāgarāja declares, ‘I have achieved.’ What did he achieve? ‘I have achieved the principle of Rāma,’ he said. ‘Rāma! The day I saw You, the day I played with You, the day I lived in close companionship with You: that alone is true life,’ he said:
Will you not praise Him as Śrī Rāma, victorious Rāma, beautiful Rāma, O mind! That Daśaratha might call, ‘Śrī Rāma, come, come,’ long ago, what tapas did he do, what tapas did that Daśaratha do! The face with the shining cheeks, Rāma! the face with the shining cheeks: that Kausalyā might kiss it, what tapas did she do, what tapas did she do!
