In plain words
Don't follow the mind, don't follow the body. Follow the conscience. We must follow that. That alone is true sādhana. But instead of experiencing the conscience, we are experiencing the conscious. So we must experience the conscience. That alone is self-rule. That self-rule alone is the true kingdom. That alone is the empire of the Ātma. That empire of the Ātma alone is the true Nirvāṇa. What does Nirvāṇa mean? They called that, simply that and nothing else, Mokṣa. We must achieve such Nirvāṇa in the fitting way. What is Nirvāṇa? Nirvāṇa is nothing but experiencing Ānanda at the final hour. But man today is not trying to recognise this truth himself. What should we attain? What should we give up? Even that truth goes unknown to him. We must keep just three things well in mind. Whoever has done us harm, we must make use of them. Whoever has done us harm, we must forget about them. Whatever help we have done to others, that too we must forget. What has to be kept in memory, we must keep in memory. What must we keep in memory? We must keep in memory the help that others have done us. That alone is what we must learn. We must not keep any expectation of a return. With a pure feeling we must offer our gratitude for the help they have done us. Human life has come for this very gratitude. ‘Śarīramādyaṃ-khalu dharmasādhanaṃ.’ We must practise Dharma. Without it, we have no need of our body at all. Whatever karmas we perform, we must use them as works of Dharma. We must believe every karma we do to be a karma of Dharma. Only when we develop a feeling of this kind in the heart does everything become worthwhile. Whatever karmas we do while thinking of God, all of them become pure. This very thing they called ‘Sarvakarma bhagavatprītyarthaṃ’. So today, first of all, we must grow samyak dṛṣṭi. We must grow good sight. We must see to it that no bad feeling at all comes into us.
