In plain words
I am ready to give. I am ready. But you are not ready to receive. What can I do? Even if I give, it falls to the ground. But it is a thing to fall into the hand, so be ready. Always be ready. You must not grieve at all. When you are like that, your heart grows vast. God rejoices in an offering. He keeps stretching out His hands all the time to give whatever it may be. If what is asked is not given, it is their own loss; God loses nothing. "Give Me three feet as a gift," He asked Emperor Bali. His guru Śukrācārya told him not to give it. "I am the guru. A guru's command must not be disobeyed." Then Emperor Bali gave the right answer. "Sir, you may be the guru. Mother, father, guru and God are all very important. But God is greater than all. When God Himself comes and stretches out His hand, asking me to give, how fortunate my hand is to give! My hand is above, and God's hand is below. There is no fortune greater than this. Is there a sin worse than going back on one's word? If I do not do what I have said, is there a sin greater than this! God, the very form of the cosmos, has come Himself and is stretching out His hand to me. I will give whatever it may be; I will not listen to you," he said. There Emperor Bali disobeyed his guru's command. Bharata disobeyed his mother's command. Prahlāda disobeyed his father's command. Do you see? How did Mokṣa come to all these who disobeyed the command of mother, father and guru? Because they disobeyed in a matter of God. "To send Rāma to the forest and tie the kingdom on me! Chī! I will not agree," said Bharata. Then there is the father, Hiraṇyakaśipu. Why did he come to kill his son? The remembrance of Nārāyaṇa's name, saying "Om Namo Nārāyaṇāya": this wicked man did not like it. "Do what you will, I want Nārāyaṇa," said Prahlāda. Because he had such great Bhakti, he went on achieving everything. You must have such courage and daring. How many tortures his father put him through! He had him pushed off a mountain. He had him stabbed with spears. He had him trampled by elephants. He had him bitten by snakes. He threw him into fire. Whatever he did, nothing happened to him.
