In plain words
“Again birth, again death, again lying in a mother's womb; in this saṃsāra, so very hard to cross, in Your mercy carry me to the far shore, protect me, O Murāri!”
However many births man takes, he does what he did before, sees what he saw before, experiences what he experienced before. Once he has been born, he should not be born again. He must see and experience that which, when seen and experienced, makes his birth fulfilled. That is the principle of the Ātma. So many thousands of you have gathered here. Your forms, your thoughts and your conduct are all different. But the principle that makes all of you shine is one. That is the light of the Ātma. Many people may use that light in many ways. However anyone uses it, it has nothing whatever to do with that.
For example, in the light of a bulb a student may do his homework; another man may write false accounts; yet another may write a letter full of evil feelings. Whatever anyone does, no fault clings to the light, does it! In the same way, however many outer changes take place, the Ātma remains eternal, true, the onlooker.
To recognise the principle of Satya, Bhakti is most important
God is one. The goal is one. With this in view: “I am within the Light. The Light is within me. I myself am the Light. The Light itself is I”: so it has been said. ‘I’ stands for Bhakti and ‘Light’ for Jñāna. Bhakti and Jñāna, the two, are one. Bhakti is joined in Jñāna. Jñāna is joined in Bhakti. Love is Bhakti, Light is Jñāna. So you must try to recognise the oneness of these two, Light & Love. To recognise the principle of Satya, Bhakti is most important. Fostering the principle of Prema, you must turn it, step by step, into Jñāna. Whatever changes come, you must keep your Buddhi from wavering and hold it fixed on the principle of the Ātma. It was to achieve such oneness that the great ṛṣis of old went on doing severe tapas in the dense forests.
