In plain words
So you must do all these sādhanas in order to recognise your own principle. When one recognises the truth “I myself am God”, that one alone is the true sādhaka. But however many kinds of sādhana you do without recognising this truth, all of them are wasted works: recognise your own Satya. Share that truth you have recognised with ten people. Not only share it with ten people, but have them practise it too. Teach them, too, to recognise it. This itself is the work you have to do. “Śarīra mādhyaṃ khalu dharmasādhakaṃ.” You must practise this Dharma.
Practising Dharma
What is Dharma? “Dhārayatīti dharmaḥ.” That which upholds: that itself is Dharma. Which is it? Prema itself is our Dharma. Satya itself is our Dharma. Śānti itself is our Dharma. You must keep practising such a svadharma. Now, there is sugar. What is the nature of sugar? Sweetness is its quality. If there is no sweetness in sugar, it is not sugar at all. It is dirt. There is fire. The power to burn is natural to fire. Without the power to burn, it becomes charcoal, not fire. In the same way, what is natural to humanness? Prema itself is natural. Without this Prema, this fellow is not a man at all. Just as without sweetness it is not sugar, just as without the power to burn it is not fire, so if there is no Prema in a man, he is not a man at all. Prema is there, but he uses Prema according to the time and the occasion. When his own child comes to him, he loves it. He loves his wife. When he sees his mother, he loves her. He loves everyone. If this Prema were not in him, how could he love? There is affection for kin.
All your kin will come as far as the doorway, as far as the burning-ground; the kinsman in trouble who never forsakes you is God alone, my friend.
Forgetting such a kinsman in trouble and trusting in worldly kin, you are wasting your time.
