In plain words
How much tapas Daśaratha must have done to call, ‘Rāmā, rārā!’ We do not call all the children passing in the bazaar ‘Rārā’, do we? Daśaratha could call Him so only because Rāma was his son. Giving birth to the Avatāra, bringing up the Avatāra... all this is the fruit of great tapas!
To see God, you need the eyes of Jñāna
Embodiments of Prema! Merely because you are in the age of youth, you cannot be called Youth. Those who act from the fullness of the principle of Prema are the true youth. All of you must grow in Bhakti and surrender. In sorrow or in joy, at any time at all, you must keep remembering the Name of God. Then these worldly cares will not touch your heart in the least. What surrounds us is divinity itself! “Sarvataḥ pāṇipādaṃ...” There is no place at all where God is not. Wherever you look, God alone is there. But you may say, ‘Show Him, and we will see.’ I will show Him, but do you have the eyes to see? You have a tongue to ask, but you have not acquired the eyes to see. How can you see God with your own eyes while keeping your eyes shut? Open your eyes. By eyes I do not mean the physical eyes. To see God, you need the eyes of Jñāna. With eyes of skin we see the whole world. Not we alone; snakes see, scorpions see, frogs see; even worms and insects see. Merely by seeing, is God visible to them? No. So, though God is right beside you, to see Him you must acquire the eyes of Jñāna. For that you must develop Bhakti and surrender. When you earn that right, you will feel God to be your own. While God remains God and nothing more, you honour Him with fear and reverence. But when God becomes your own, you are with Him without fear, very close and loving. So God must become your own. Rāma must become yours. Only because Tyāgarāja felt Rāma to be his own,
