In plain words
Good times, high positions, a good life: men keep longing for these; they will not long for good thoughts, Jñāna and good conduct. What more than this shall I make known?
Embodiments of Prema!
Man today sees, throughout the world, a form of many kinds. He sees a substance of many kinds. He takes note of circumstances of many kinds. And in research there is no shortfall of any kind. He carries on research into everything. Nothing in this world is to be found that has not been researched. But the person who can see everything, the person who has researched everything, the person who has examined everything, is not trying to recognise who he himself is. Once Churchill, who was the British President, after researching everything, went on proclaiming to the world just one thing: Man has conquered all, but he has not conquered himself. Man today can see everything, yet he is not making the effort it takes to know who he himself is. If he does not know who he is, what use is it to examine everything? What use is it to recognise even the whole world? A person is searching in a room for some object. But he can see every object there is in that room. But one thing alone he cannot see. What is it? The person who is searching for the object: him alone he cannot see. So, without seeing himself, however many objects he may have seen, what gain comes of it?
