In plain words
You cannot have happiness without taking pains. “Nasukhāt labhyate sukhaṃ”: happiness does not come from happiness; happiness comes from hardship alone. But the devotee of today is not ready to take pains. “Not a coin should be spent, not a foot should cross the threshold. Kaivalya should drop into my lap in a flash,” he hopes. He wants every kind of happiness to come to him easily. Happiness that comes easily goes just as easily. Only after giving up sleep and food for many years and doing severe tapas could the great sages of old behold divinity. In the same way, if we are to have happiness, we cannot escape hardship.
Hardship and happiness, the two, are joined together; to part them is in no one's power; happiness on its own we shall nowhere see; when hardship bears fruit, they call it happiness.
To experience divinity, man needs patience above all. Though he has studied much and is known as a man of great learning, man today has no patience even in small matters. Only when we have patience can we achieve anything. You must not sink under hardships. You must give no room to anger. Anger ruins humanness. “One's own anger is one's enemy, one's own calm is one's protection, one's own contentment is heaven, one's own sorrow is hell.” Each person is the cause of his own joys and sorrows. To blame someone else and grieve over it is a great mistake.
“Daivaṃ mānuṣa rūpeṇa”
Man forgets the treasure called Caitanya that is within himself, scrambles after outer treasures and wastes his time. This is the great Ajñāna. Even educated people, sunk in Ajñāna, behave without discernment. If you do not know, it is good to stay as one who does not know. But they imagine they know what they do not know; knowing nothing at all, they strut about in Ahaṅkāra as if they knew everything.
