In plain words
Jñānādevatu kaivalyaṃ
Every man must put into practice what he says. Without putting this into practice, what is the use of saying ever so much? What is the use of being ever so learned? So:
Is all the darkness destroyed, see, by talk of a lamp on this earth? Is the hunger of the hungry appeased by hearing well the names of the five kinds of dishes? Does the poor man's poverty go as soon as he hears of the power of wealth? Do the sick man's grave diseases go though he hears all the glory of medicine? Though one reads the whole mass of the śāstras, is the dense darkness of Ajñāna cut through? Learning without practice, on this earth, what fruit in learning it in plenty? A round zero!
There is no use at all in hearing all this. If hunger is to be appeased, then for the food on the plate to reach the stomach you must set mouth and hand to work. We must work with the hand and enjoy with the mouth. They say in Telugu: When the arms work, the belly works. If we want to eat food without working, how will it be possible? You have no right! Work hard. Only then comes the proper right to eat. If you work till your muscles wear down, you may eat till your teeth wear down. But now the muscles do not wear down at all. Then how will the teeth move? In the Rāmāyaṇa there was a demon called Kabandha. His head was on his belly. What is the inner meaning of this? Always, at all times and in all states, the head thinks only of the belly.
