In plain words
Only when the whole world is well will I too be well. When this world itself is not well, how can I be happy? So first of all you must, to some extent, wish for the welfare of the world.
Foster Broad Feelings
Today's students must try to recognise the welfare of our country. If we are to foster broad feelings in that way, we must develop the broad power that is in humanness. As broad as the world is, so broad must these feelings be too. Your Prema must grow like the ocean. Then the world will try to recognise your principle of Prema. You must not think of this universe as small. At the very last, when Jesus was being put on the cross, everyone was weeping. Then a voice from the sky said: All are one My dear son, Be alike to every one. In the culture of our Bhārata, this very thing has kept teaching the truth: ‘The welfare of all is itself my welfare.’ But unfortunately, today, through the changed conditions of the Kali age, selfishness and self-interest are ruling. Where has living for others gone? That alone is the true foundation. Living for others alone carries authority. All this answers to no authority whatever. Selfishness. Selfishness is precisely what concerns self-interest. It has nothing to do with society. So we must keep the welfare of society in view. We must recognise the principle of the divine power that is in all.
Durgā Means the All That Is Hard to Reach
This itself is Mahādurgādevī. What does Durgā mean? Durgam means a lofty hill. But the grace of God itself is the great hill. Only on that mountain called grace does that Divinity dwell. In the culture of our people of Bhārata, they said the time of Uttarāyaṇa is very good. That is, the sun too travels only toward the north. What is this northern direction? On the Himālaya mountain dwells God, Īśvara.
