In plain words
How many are doing this today? How many abide by the command of their parents? How many speak Satya? Rāma gave up everything for Satya. He gave up the kingdom and passed His time in a fearsome forest. How did He pass it? He passed it in Ānanda. He found Ānanda in the very keeping of Satya.
Today we think we are devotees of Rāma. But we are doing all the things Rāma gave up. We do not do the work Rāma did. Rāma gave up everything to keep His father's word. Three of His ways stand above the rest.
Giving is the ornament of the hand; Satya, the ornament of the throat; the ornament of the ear is the scripture...
What ornaments can we have greater than these? For our throat, Satya alone is the ornament. For our hand, tyāga alone is the adornment. For our ears, sacred listening alone is the adornment. Man has no adornments beyond these. This is what is eternal. It is true; it is lasting. It is what carries humanness across. These are what win God. Man has forgotten such eternally true feelings today.
From ancient times Bhārata has been nourished by the spiritual principle
Every man must work hard. Today there are no comforts in any country that are lacking in Bhārata. There is vast land. There are rivers that flow without ceasing. There is great wealth that satisfies hunger and thirst. With all this, in Bhārata, once famed as Annapūrṇā, today we have to hear the cry, ‘Food, O Rāmacandra!’ What is the reason? We do not bend our backs and work. There is all the land we need. Make the effort. This itself nourishes the ṛṣi principle. We must make the effort that the sacred welfare of society needs. No one is making it.
