In plain words
For having been born as man, for having grown up as man, for having lived as a devotee, we must take up sacrifice. But the Bhakti of today is very artificial. What is this artificial devotion? Outside one thing, inside another. It is not right at all. It is as if one were cheating oneself. You yourself must guard what is your own. You must fill yourself with your own honour. You yourself must protect your own humanness. A life joined with such humanness is not found anywhere. By the merit of how many births has this humanness come to us! It is not something everyone gets.
Without Hardship There Is No Happiness
Happiness lies joined within these hardships. Each must go through his own karma, there is no escape; but each must also go through his own merit, there is no escape.
Even one as great as Rāma, parted from the lovely Sītā, wept like a common man, brother; who can say on what day, in what way? it is certain we must go through it, brother; the Pāṇḍavas of that time grazed on leaves and roots and were cast out to the forest, brother.
It was through those very hardships that happiness came to them. So without hardship we will never gain happiness. We must always remain ready for hardship. In times of hardship we must keep thinking of happiness. We must keep hoping for happiness. Suppose today is the new-moon day; you must not grieve, saying, "Alas, the new moon has come!" From tomorrow the full-moon days start. Without the new moon, the full moon cannot come. So happiness lies in our hardships. Na sukhāt labhyate sukham. There is no happiness from happiness. Happiness comes from hardship alone. We hope to get happiness from happiness. A great mistake. From pain we must experience pleasure.
