In plain words
The disciple is the one who listens. The one who listens must sit below. The one who teaches must sit in the guru's place. If you go to classes, they put out a chair for the teachers alone. The children sit right down below. There the Upaniṣad has been showing the difference between a higher place and a lower one. The Upaniṣad teaches the true principle, the lofty idea, the sacred meaning. Satya is in the Ātma alone. What is the Ātma? Does it have a form? No. Does it have a shape? No. It travels everywhere. It hears everything. It draws all things to itself. But it, for its part, falls into no one's hands. Nothing can hold this Ātma. Everything comes under the sway of the Ātma. This, then, is the mighty power in the Ātma. If we honour anyone at all, if we honour all, God Himself will honour us. So, if we want to win God's regard, we must love all; we must honour all. Do you love all? God Himself will love you. This is the second principle. We must become worthy of God's Prema. So vast is the divine principle within the human principle. No one can describe its measure. We take only physical forms as the marks. When we ask someone, “Did you see Anil Kumar at Prasanthi Nilayam?”: “Yes! I've seen him, sir!” you say. If we then put another question, “What is he like?”, you answer, “He wears a fine bush shirt; he speaks good English; he is dusky; he is not dark; he keeps cracking jokes.” If we think a little here, all these marks belong to the body. There are many things in Anil Kumar beyond that, and no one can recognise them. People can tell things about Anil Kumar's form. Can you tell what the feelings in Anil Kumar's mind are like? Can you recognise what sacred feelings are in his mind? No one can tell this. It is not possible for anyone.
