In plain words
When man is born, he is born a child of immortality; then he grows up with his vāsanās; with his longings for the objects of the senses he becomes like poison: Sai's word is the spring of all the Śrutis.
Students!
There is nothing in this world greater than Jñāna. What kind of Jñāna? Physical Jñāna, moral Jñāna, spiritual Jñāna: which Jñāna? All of them are Jñāna! But the Jñāna in which all Jñāna is blended is Brahma-Jñāna. What is Brahma-Jñāna? To believe the form of the whole universe to be one: that itself is Brahma-Jñāna. The whole world, the moving and the unmoving, is the very form of Brahman! This itself may also be called the Bṛhat-svarūpa. Nowhere is there a place, a self or a name to be seen without this. So what we see, what we hear, what we think, what we experience, what we delight in, is nothing but the principle of Brahman!
Humanness Without Prema Can Only Be Called the Form of a Beast
In every man who has entered this world in human form there are certain values. But man, unable to recognise those values, unable to set them on the proper path, turns them onto the wrong road and is making his humanness utterly useless. As dal without salt has no taste, so humanness without Prema can only be called the form of a beast. So the very first thing in humanness is the principle of Prema! But you must recognise well and follow the way of it: how, where, when and in what manner this Prema is to be brought in. We cannot eat dal without salt. But if you add as much salt as there is dal, that too we cannot bear.
