Passage 5

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

Whatever anyone may say against this, pay it no heed. God dwells always in your very heart. No calamities of any kind are upon you, and none will come. So take courage. Make your faith in God grow. God will surely grant you victory.

Embodiments of Prema! The people of Laṅkā will always be safe and well. Troubles of one kind or another will come and go. All these are like clouds that drift past. So do not be afraid at all. Stand firm with courage and face the hardships. You are all embodiments of Prema! Act in keeping with that name. Where there is Prema, no calamity of any kind befalls. Prema itself is God; God Himself is Prema. So see that your Prema does not waver.

Embodiments of Prema! I will visit Laṅkā very soon. I will give you lasting Ānanda. At present this body may find it hard to get up or to walk. But that is natural to the body. Things like this come and go. No one can prevent it. Paying no heed to all this, I am surely coming very soon, to receive your Prema and to fulfil your long-cherished prayer. In Laṅkā, from children to the aged, they keep Swami in mind without cease. I will very soon give the fruit of that resolve. Keep that in mind. Little by little, time keeps changing. But though time changes, the close bond of kinship between us will never change.
