In plain words
If these pains themselves were not there, we would give this happiness no value at all. That is why ‘by the glory of her Satya she quenched the forest fire’: by the vow of Satya alone is the forest fire put out. Such women, great in their fidelity to their husbands, and men of steadfastness and valour, men of depth, were born in this land of Bhārata, and right from time without beginning they have kept the fame of Bhārata standing for ever. You are students born in such a land of Bhārata. Whatever substance a thing has come from, that thing too takes on the form of that substance. The pot was born from clay. The pot is all clay itself; can a pot born from clay fail to be clay? An ornament born from gold remains gold and nothing else. In just the same way, this Prakṛti is precisely what arose from Brahman. So the whole of Prakṛti, all of it, is nothing but Brahman. Human beings are none other than those born of this, which is filled with Brahman. That is why all men, every one, are indeed embodiments of God. ‘The body is indeed the first means of Dharma’: we must set the body to work in dharmic karma. How should this karma be? It should be in keeping with Dharma. To set this Dharma in motion, we must show forth the ideal. But what Dharma is in our day, they do not understand. They are not trying to learn what humanity is. Human values: in what way can one come to recognise them? So only when we first recognise the creation do we become those who have recognised the principle of the Creator. All this, every bit of it, is filled with God alone. Every single one is none other than an embodiment of God. Though names and forms appear distinct, the power at the root of them all remains one alone.
All Is Brahman: Recognise the Oneness
We say, ‘This is cloth.’ But it appears to us in the form of cloth. But this is not cloth; it is a joining together of threads. These are not threads; they are only the working of cotton. So cotton, thread and cloth: the three are one and the same. So God, creation, and the humanness of creation: all three, every one, are one and the same. That is why ‘Īśvaraḥ sarva bhūtānām’: what dwells in all beings is God alone.
