In plain words
You need not go that far: right where you are sitting, close your ears tightly, and you will hear from within the sound ‘Oṃ’. “Oṃ, the one syllable, is Brahman.” That itself is the true Veda. Everything has come from the Oṃkāra. When you press each ‘reed’ on the harmonium, sa, ri, ga, ma, pa, da, ni, ... so it voices note after note. Where do these sounds come from? They come from the one air, do they not! In the same way, all the various sounds have sprung from the Oṃkāra itself. The ‘divine vibration’ that pervades every place has sprung from Vināyaka himself.
“Give up the company of the wicked”
As our resolves are, so is the ‘vibration’ that fills our body. So we must not go even near one whose resolves are evil. For if we keep company with the wicked, the ‘vibration’ of the evil resolves in them enters into us too. That is why:
“Give up the company of the wicked, seek the company of the good, do good deeds day and night, keep in mind always the passing of all things.”
When we are good, good ‘vibration’ fills our whole body. It takes shape as ‘divine vibration’. But if our feelings are bad, everything looks nothing but bad. Everything you see is just the reflection of your inner feeling. You see someone and say, ‘He is a bad fellow’. But he is not truly bad. Your own badness is reflected in him. Good and bad are not outside; they are within you alone. When there are good feelings in you, only good ‘vibration’ comes. But today's students do not have the ability to recognise this truth. They have acquaintance only with books, but no acquaintance at all with the heart. They learn by heart what is in the books, pour it out in the examination and come out with an empty head. After they come out, they themselves do not remember what they wrote in the examination.
