In plain words
He makes no distinction of any kind. Whether hardship comes to you or happiness, think, ‘All this is for my good.’ Man falls prey to many kinds of suffering only because he cannot recognise the Satya that whatever happens is for his own good.
We must try to recognise the Satya that lies within God's creation. Man today tries only to increase his intelligence; he does not develop character. The ancient ṛṣis kept teaching that character is what matters most, and that one must strive to develop character. But man does not try to develop character; he prides himself that he is a man of great intelligence, that he has gained great degrees. Thinking that he knows everything, he grows proud. This Ahaṅkāra is nothing but the Ajñāna of one who knows nothing! When the branches of a tree rub against one another, fire is born. Where is this fire born from? It is born from that very wood. The fire born from the wood burns up that very wood. In the same way, the Ahaṅkāra born in man reduces man himself to ashes. If man has no character, however much intelligence he has, it is all useless! We are celebrating the Navarātri in order to develop character. First of all we must question ourselves whether or not we have good qualities, good thoughts and good desires.
Develop self-confidence
Under the influence of this Kali age, faith is wasting away in man. However great he may be in intelligence, if he has no faith he turns wicked. Man must earn the great title ‘one who has faith’. ‘Without the two eyes called faith, people on the earth have become blind.’ Only when man has faith in himself is he able to believe in God too. Many say, ‘I have no faith in God.’
