In plain words
So you may be a great jñāni. But if you do not put it into practice, you will turn into a donkey carrying dirty clothes. We must not do such things. Of whatever we have come to know, we must put one or two things into practice. Learning that is not in practice is impure. Every human being must put at least one or two into practice. And not only put them into practice. We must give our fellow human beings the help they need to put this into practice. Today people are studying. They are getting degrees. But what is the value of degrees? They have no value at all. The certificate you receive is not worth even two annas. What is the use of receiving worthless certificates like these? Enter society. Share the learning you have gained with the many. Keep doing service to society. The best way to love God is to love all & serve all. But if we do no work and put in an application for some office, for jobs, what is the use? Today a great many educated people apply, but no reply. What is it for, leading a life like this? Well then, at least until you get a job, enter society. Join satsaṅga. Through it, keep doing service in the villages. Greater than the leader is the servant, they said. Greater than Śaṅkara is the kiṅkara, they said. We must understand what a great name this kiṅkara is. If we cannot follow the truth we know in the right way, what is the use of knowing so much? Rāvaṇa had ten heads. The ten heads were not put on, nor was he born with them. Six śāstras, four Vedas. Six and four together make ten. Each śāstra, a head. Each Veda, a head. So Rāvaṇa is the one with ten heads. He was rich in great tapas. A man of great learning, a fine engineer: it was he who invented the Puṣpaka vimāna. With his engineers he built the city of Laṅkā, which made one forget even heaven. There was nothing he did not know. He learned the sixty-four arts. But the arts Rāma learned, Rāvaṇa learned too. In the end, what use was it?
