In plain words
Being born is a care, living on the earth a care, family life a care, death a care, childhood all a care, old age a care, living a care, ruin a care, all actions a care, hardships a care, joy a care: a strange thing, care! Bhakti for Sai, which takes away every care: take it up now at least, O people, to your heart's content. What more than this shall I make known, O members of this assembly, counted among the good and virtuous!
Prema alone is the remedy for all cares. Where there is Prema, there is no hatred. Where there is Prema, no difference is seen. Where there is Prema, envy does not come. Prema has the power to bring everything into harmony. But in the Veda such Prema is not much spoken of. In the world there are many Vedic paṇḍits. They recite the Veda by rote. From daybreak until they lie down at night, they chant the Veda. But their reciting of the Veda stops at chanting; the practice is little. So Śaṅkara kept saying that this is Dvaita. ‘Sukhaṃ ca me… antā ca me’. Longing, ‘I want it, I want it.’ The craving ‘I want it’ is the root cause of Dvaita. Is it not because something stands apart that we long, ‘I want that’? Here the person who longs and the thing longed for are both separate. So the oneness of the two, the longing and the one who longs, is true Advaita. When the one who longs is other than the thing he longs for, Dvaita arises. This is a handkerchief. I want this handkerchief. Because it stands apart as ‘this handkerchief’, is it not, I long for it as a thing apart.
