In plain words
A pure heart is the Himācala
Each month the sun goes on entering one line after another. For six months it travels on the southern path. Today the sun enters the northern path. The northern path means the highest place; the northern direction means the Himālaya mountains. The abode of Īśvara is the Himālaya, or Himācala. What does hima mean? Hima means ice. It is sacred and pure, and it is cool. Acalam means steady: a pure, steady, wholly pure feeling is your heart. A heart at peace, a pure heart, a steady heart: that is Himācala. We need not set out on a journey to the Himācala. We must turn our Buddhi towards the heart. That is the journey to the Himācala. It is there that Īśvara is. Īśvara dwells in the heart. ‘Īśvara sarvabhūtānāṃ’. Forgetting the Īśvara that dwells in such a heart, people today go out to some place somewhere, install unmoving idols, and build up their hopes on them. In the unmoving there is the moving. In the moving there is the unmoving. In the waking state the body moves about. The life-force in you is everywhere. But in the state of sleep the body lies on a bed. This mind roams everywhere. In the unmoving there is the moving. In the body that does not move there is the mind that moves. The moving in the unmoving, the unmoving in the moving, it was said. It is on this basis that the Bhagavad Gītā says, kṣetrajñaṃ cāpi māṃ viddhi: that is, I am the field, I am the knower of the field. The body is God; the one in the body is God. We must not neglect the body. We must set the body to tasks that make it worthwhile. We must do sacred karmas. We must do the work that pleases God. We must not do work that brings society the least bad name. You are a member of society. So if the members are right, the name of the society stays unspoilt. If society is to be good, the individual must be good.
