In plain words
Embodiments of Prema! In this material world everything keeps coming and going. Wealth comes, and it is spent. Friends meet. They part. And yet, if you lose wealth, you can earn it again; if you lose a friend, you can find another friend; if you lose your wife, you can marry again; if you lose land, you can earn it again. But if you lose the body itself, there is no way to earn it back. So, while you still have the body, you must nurture human values and make your humanness fruitful.
This material world is unsteady. Youth and wealth are like passing clouds. Wife, children and the rest, kinsmen, friends and the rest, are unsteady too. Satya and Dharma alone are steady. In whatever world, in whatever birth, at whatever time, what goes along with man is Satya and Dharma alone. From ancient times the culture of Bhārata has rested on Satya and Dharma alone. All the Vedas and Śāstras, the Purāṇas and the Upaniṣads teach just these two: “Satyaṃ vada, dharmaṃ cara.” Man, born to nurture Satya and Dharma, has become a slave to the senses, has fallen into many hardships and losses, and forgets Satya and Dharma. Though he has taken on humanness, he cannot nurture human values. Being born, growing up, enjoying pleasures, dying: is this all there is to the goal of human life? Beasts, birds and animals too go through these four states. Man was not born for these. He must demonstrate a distinctive ideal. “Uddhared ātmanātmānam”: humanness has come to man only so that he may raise himself up, not merely to live like the beasts, birds and animals. The principle that teaches such sacred Vijñāna, Sujñāna and Prajñāna is the Gaṇapati principle. ‘Ga’ means Buddhi, ‘ṇa’ means Vijñāna. He who is lord of both of these is Gaṇapati. Gaṇapati is lord of all the gaṇas and of all virtues. Gaṇapati is lord of the very world of the gods. He alone is the leader of all, the nāyaka. There is no leader greater than Him.
