In plain words
Today we do not reflect at all. Whatever we think, whatever we say, whatever we do, it is nothing but selfishness and self-interest. Through this selfishness and self-interest the human qualities are becoming a total void. So, to safeguard the human qualities, first of all food and habits are most necessary. So we must take the right food. As the food is, so is the head. As the head is, so is God. So we must clearly recognise the harmony of the three, food, head, God. How does this work? A small example. You know it. Here the bulbs are shining. The bulbs are giving light. If you take the bulb as the main thing, a wire must reach inside it. There is no use merely in there being a wire. Current must enter it. So this current enters the wire. When it enters the bulb, the bulb gives out light. That light itself is Prema. If this light called Prema is to come to us, there must be the bulb called Śānti. If this bulb of Śānti is to shine, the wire called Dharma must enter. Into the wire called Dharma, the current called Satya must enter. Satya itself is the current, Dharma itself the wire, Śānti itself the bulb, Prema itself the light. Without current we cannot receive the bulb's light. If Prema is to shine in our heart, these three, Dharma, Śānti and Satya, must stand by it. All of these must be in humanity as the purity of thought, word and deed.
Everything Has Come from the Ātma
I have told you many times. The son of the Ātma is aham. The mind is none other than the son of aham. Speech is none other than the son of the mind. Aham is the son, the mind the grandson. Speech, born of the mind, is the great grand son. Great-grandson, grandson, son and father: all four are of one and the same family, are they not! Every man has aham. This aham has sprung from the Ātma itself. The mind that came from aham has sprung from the Ātma itself. Speech that came from this mind has come from the Ātma itself. We must keep this in mind first of all. We are all members of one single family. Members of the family of the Ātma. Speech must enter the feeling of the Ātma; the mind too must enter the feeling of the Ātma.
