In plain words
This very freedom from expectation is what saves. And what is it that destroys? When the same principal is transferred to another village, he packs up everything in his house, loads it onto a lorry and takes it along. Even his old sandals he throws into the lorry; in the end he will not leave behind so much as a straw. The root of this is the sense of “mine”, the feeling that all of it is his. This feeling of expectation is what destroys. To think “everything is mine” destroys; to think “nothing is mine” saves. Nothing is ours; all is the prasāda of God's grace. The transferred principal recognises that the things in the college are all the Government's, and leaves them behind; in just that way we must recognise that all we have is God's, and live accordingly. Of course, so long as you are in this world there is the duty of looking after wife and children, family, property and possessions; that is true! But you must regard this as a duty God has entrusted to you and carry out your duty; you must not nurture the sense of “mine”, that all this is mine; you must not take this to be the very support of life. No one knows when we shall leave it. So, as long as we live, we must carry out our duty and regard all this as a boon from God.
Ānanda is man's natural state
You are always longing for Ānanda. But you fail to recognise the truth that you yourself are Ānanda. When people see someone crying, they all gather round and ask him, “Why are you crying, friend?” But when someone is happy, “Why are you happy, friend? Why are you not crying?” does anyone ask him that? No one does. For Ānanda is natural to man, and weeping unnatural. So you must stay in Ānanda at all times and give no room to worry. Think it over well: “Does God have sorrow? No. Does God have worry? No. I am a part of God, so I too must not grieve, must not worry”: make this your resolve. Only when you practise such sādhana will you reach the right state; it is no use just sitting there turning the japa beads in the name of sādhana. First of all, set your mind right. Whatever work you do, regard it as God's work. There is no “mine” and “yours” here; all of it is God's! Just as a college principal leaves behind all the things in the college and goes away the moment he is transferred, so you too must leave everything behind one day! And why? None of these things is yours. You did not bring them with you when you came, and you will not take them with you when you go. In the meantime God has placed all these with you, given you the responsibility and told you to do your work. That work you must do properly. This is God's command. Only when you take it reverently upon your head can you experience the principle of God.
The Kṛṣṇa principle
The word ‘Kṛṣṇa’ has three meanings. First: ‘Kṛṣitīti kṛṣṇaḥ’; that is, Kṛṣṇa is He who pulls out the weeds of wicked feelings from the field of our heart, fills it with Prema and sows there the seed of God's Name. Second: “Karṣatīti kṛṣṇaḥ”; that is, Kṛṣṇa is He who draws everyone to Himself with words and with songs. This power to draw others lies in everyone. So all are embodiments of Kṛṣṇa. And the third: ‘Kuṣitīti kṛṣṇaḥ’; that is, Kṛṣṇa is He who gives Ānanda to all.
