In plain words
The Marks of Pravṛtti and Nivṛtti
In every man, the head and the heart, these two, are very important. The resolves that come out of the head are all, every one of them, physical. They are temporary. These are the marks of pravṛtti. Reading, writing, eating, going about, earning, hoarding: all these, every one, are precisely the marks of pravṛtti. All these, every one, begin from the head. But sacred feelings arise from the heart. Compassion, Prema, forbearance, sympathy, Satya and other such sacred qualities come out of the heart. These very qualities are called the marks of nivṛtti. The whole world is nothing but a form in which pravṛtti and nivṛtti are blended. If even one of the two were missing, man could not stand in this world. But man must shape his resolves into sacred resolves. Just as a sapling grows into a tree and offers fruit and flowers, so resolves too, in the same way, take shape as noble resolves and through them take on the form of action. Man's good and bad are nothing but the fruit of that action. Man means mind, body and Ātma. Man is the form in which these three are blended. Taking the body as its base, the mind carries out its duty. So first, the body. This is doing. The mind is thinking. The Ātma is being. Doing, thinking, being: humanness is the very shape of these. But in this humanness some kinds of miseries arise as well. When this body acts independently on its own, with no relation of any kind to the mind or the Ātma, this very conduct has been called a kind of animal nature in human life. Then the nature of the mind: where it makes no connection at all either with the body or with the Ātma, and of itself, freely, sets only its own nature to work, that they called the demonic. Where, with no connection to the body and the mind, the Ātma itself takes on its own form of Sat and acts, that they called divinity.
