In plain words
Only then do we understand self-satisfaction. But when man today has forgotten self-confidence itself, which is the foundation, how then will he gain the Śānti of the Ātma? How will he gain self-satisfaction? How can he experience the Ānanda of the Ātma? So man today, forgetting the Ātma, depends only on the body, Manas, Buddhi, citta, the senses and the antaḥkaraṇa. But over all these there is one master. That is the Ātma. That is why: ‘Master the mind - Be a Mastermind’
Body, senses, mind, Buddhi: all are only tools
This Manas, the body, Buddhi, citta and the senses are all merely tools of a kind. Only because this vibration called the Ātma is in the body do the body, the mind and Buddhi all work. But man is not trying in the least to recognise this truth. One who has forgotten divinity itself gains no happiness and no Śānti. People act as though they were somehow in Ānanda, but there is no Ānanda at all. The master of Ānanda is God alone. The owner of Śānti is God alone. Why do we pray to God? People think, ‘I am praying for such-and-such a task, for such-and-such a result.’ This is a very bad attitude. Prayer to God is taken to be for worldly pursuits, but it is not for a result. One prays to gain what one does not have, what God does have. What one does not have is Śānti. People pray to God, the embodiment of such Śānti, to gain Śānti from Him; what is not in them is Ānanda, and they pray seeking to gain that Ānanda from God. However many pūjās, tapas, yajñas, yāgas and pilgrimages one performs, it is not for desire of worldly things. We pray for what is not to be found in the world, what is to be had from God alone. No man at all inquires into this truth. ‘We asked for this, God did not give it, it is over’: so they turn God's photo round.
