In plain words
He travels lakhs of miles through space, but he does not go even half an inch into the depths of his own heart. Sunk in selfishness and self-interest, he does not try to see his own true form. Seeing one's own true form is the very first aim of spirituality. Not in spirituality alone: in worldly, physical and practical matters too, man must first of all recognise his own true nature. Man today is eager to see the faults in others, but does not try to recognise the faults in himself. Only when he recognises his faults and corrects them does man come right. Such a man alone takes shape as a true human being, an embodiment of the ideal.
Embodiments of Prema! Instead of searching for the things of the world, strive to search for yourselves; ask yourselves, ‘Who am I?’ It is attachment to the body that brings you so many troubles. As attachment to the body grows, attachment to the Ātma dwindles; desires and greedy cravings keep growing. The things of the world belong to outward sight. They give only a passing joy; they cannot bring the Ānanda that is eternal and true. But you are drawn by outward sight alone. What has outward sight is the beast. So you must develop inward sight and purify your inner feeling. You must develop a Buddhi that is pure, steady and selfless, and the blossoming of the Ātma.
Self-confidence is the Foundation; self-satisfaction, the Walls; the sacrifice of selfishness, the Roof; Self-realisation, the Life. You were born in this vast world; you live in a vast world. So your feelings too must be nothing less than vast. You must believe in the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. Kṛṣṇa said, “Mamaivāṃśo jīvaloke jīvabhūtas sanātanaḥ.” All are parts of God! Understand this truth. Then Adjustment becomes easy. That is, you will feel no hatred or jealousy towards anyone.
