In plain words
The selfishness rooted deep in man's heart is the root cause of this sorry state. Whatever object he loves, whatever person he loves, he loves for his own selfish ends; whatever he thinks, whatever he says, whatever he does, it is all for his own selfish ends! On the day he drives such narrow feelings far away and purifies his heart, on that day he has truly experienced the fruit of Ugādi, and he grows into a noble man.
On this Ugādi day people rise before dawn, take an oil bath and put on new clothes; they eat sweets. But what is the use of putting on new clothes outside without giving up the impurity in one's inner feelings? Above all, one must purify one's inner feelings. “Of all creatures, a human birth is hard to win,” it has been said. Though such a rare human birth has come to him, man makes no effort to live as a man. Filling himself with desires from foot to head, he thinks that Ānanda will come to him only when his desires are fulfilled. This is a great mistake. One must recognise the truth that Ānanda comes not when desires are fulfilled, but only when desires die away.
We need people of good qualities who recognise oneness and act on it
Embodiments of Prema! Though ages have passed and worlds have moved on, man's heart does not change. Modern education is throwing the world into turmoil. People think that education changes man's heart. True, it is changing. But in what way? It is changing most strangely. Man does not learn what he ought to learn; nursing animal feelings and stooping to demonic deeds, he is making his humanness worthless.
