In plain words
The many śāstras, the Vedas and the Vedāṅgas cannot tear the screen of the jīva's mind; on this side of the screen the jīva, on that side God dwells: the effect on this side, on that side the cause.
Embodiments of Prema!
From ancient times, by the power of the Vedas, Bhārata has taught and awakened all the nations to spiritual wealth, and has given the world principal sūtras such as ‘Lokāḥ samastāḥ sukhinobhavantu’. Man today has made great progress in worldly things and in science, but morally and in Dharma his humanness is sinking day by day. Whatever man does, whatever he sees, whatever he thinks, whatever he experiences, all of it runs into selfishness, and by all kinds of schemes he keeps feeding his own personality. Man today lives as a puppet in the hands of selfishness. Through such selfishness and self-interest he loses his very humanness and lives out nothing but animality. Human life is most precious. It is worth living. Not to make so sacred a life fruitful, but to waste it, is a stain on humanness. Man today does not make his life fruitful; he lives as he pleases, acts like one who is dead, and experiences in a way that is no experiencing at all. ‘Naśreyo niyamaṃ vinā’: for anything at all, a discipline is essential. A river is flowing. If this flowing river does not have at least some bank, it falls upon the villages and does a great deal of harm. When we build two banks for that same river, it becomes a help to people and makes life fruitful. Those are the very two banks: two, each made of an eight-syllable name.
