In plain words
You must not rub dirt onto it. Right in these tender years you must develop this kind of understanding. Whatever you do, the sacred feeling must rise in you, ‘I am doing this to please God; I am offering it to God alone.’ Nothing you think of as ‘mine’ is really yours. First of all, ask yourselves, ‘Who am I?’ From the atom to the immense, this whole world is filled with nothing but divinity.
From a grain of sand to a crystal of sugar, from the ant to the elephant, everything is the very form of God. On this stage of the world-drama, God Himself plays every part. All the play is His own. All the words are His own. All the songs are His own. There is not a single thing in the world that is not God. All creation is the very form of God. So whatever we do, whatever we see, whatever we say, we must recognise the truth that all of it is the very form of God, and live by it. Whoever we look at, we must see them with the feeling, ‘These are the very forms of God.’ Whatever words we speak must have to do with God. When we go about with that feeling, that itself is called ‘Mukti’. You must make your five senses pure. You must go about with care, so that you neither hurt others nor are hurt yourselves. You must use your words, too, in a pure way. You must hold to the feeling of oneness, ‘All is the very form of God.’
The sense of oneness is tapas; the sense of difference is tamas
Man today, in his madness, forgets oneness and fosters feelings of difference: ‘my people’ and ‘outsiders’. Our ancient histories keep on warning us of the harm that comes from the sense of difference. You know the story of the Kauravas and the Pāṇḍavas. The sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra were the Kauravas; the sons of King Pāṇḍu were the Pāṇḍavas. War broke out between the two. But whose was the fault? Dhṛtarāṣṭra and King Pāṇḍu, the two of them, had one and the same kingdom. Both were children of the very same father. But their feelings were different. Out of desire for the kingdom, feelings of difference and wicked thoughts grew in the Kauravas.
