In plain words
If these roots do not go down to this pātāla, it will fall when merely a little wind comes. All the cultures of other countries passed away long ago. The culture of Bhārata alone stands firm and lasting, today, in days gone by, and for all time. What is the reason? These roots have gone down into the pātāla of divinity. It is the water of divinity that nourishes this culture. The culture of Bhārata is not a matter of taking up a few ideals. Whatever changes, this does not change. The ideal of Bhārata is an eternal ideal. We are failing to recognise such a thing rightly. The science of today has gone beyond all bounds. It is supplying all the comfort anyone could want. But what use is it to have comfort? There is no Śānti. Is comfort without Śānti comfort at all? What man needs is Śānti. They are making so many advances. Churchill once said this very thing. Man is conquering everything. He is enjoying everything. But he has not been able to conquer himself. “Man has conquered all, but he has not conquered himself,” he said. For one who cannot conquer himself, what use is it to conquer so much? The young Prahlāda of old went on teaching his father this very lesson. “Father! You have taken the five elements into your hands and are playing with them. But you cannot conquer yourself. You are conquering the whole world, but when you cannot conquer yourself, what use is it to conquer the world? You are the one who conquered all the worlds in a moment. Me, and the world of the senses, you cannot conquer at all,” so he questioned him. They are achieving everything. But he cannot keep his senses under control. He cannot bring his own mind under his own control. When that is lacking, what use is it to achieve so much? First of all we must bring the mind under control. This mind comes under control only on the spiritual path and on no other path.
The Guru Is Maheśvara
What is the root reason for calling it Guru Pūrṇimā? As for the guru, people take the one who merely taught them some learning to be a guru.
