In plain words
He felt that man's chief duty is to make time worthwhile and not to waste it.
‘You’ and ‘I’ must become one
Embodiments of Prema! All of you are doing many sādhanas. You do japa and tapas; you sit down to dhyāna. Instead of wasting time in this way, do service to society. Try to recognise the divinity that is in man. That itself is true dhyāna. But sitting with your eyes closed, saying ‘Rām, Rām, Rām, Rām’ to yourself, is not dhyāna. The tongue says ‘Rāmā’, but the heart stays empty. Doing dhyāna like this is only wasting time. We must recognise the divinity in every living being. We must recognise the close bond of kinship between these four: vyaṣṭi, samaṣṭi, sṛṣṭi and Parameṣṭhi. Sṛṣṭi came from Parameṣṭhi. That Parameṣṭhi itself is the Ātma. The Ātma is in all. It is the indweller of all. In creation two principles arise, ‘you’ and ‘I’. These two must become one. We must see oneness in creation. When vyaṣṭi serves samaṣṭi, we can attain Parameṣṭhi. Parameṣṭhi itself is the principle of the Supreme Brahman. This itself is the very foundation of creation. Every human being should keep feeling, again and again, ‘I am Parameṣṭhi, I am Parameṣṭhi, I am Parameṣṭhi.’ Who is it that is in you? The embodiment of the Ātma. Every human being lives by the Ātma principle alone. The Buddha was one who saw such an embodiment of the one Ātma. Only after He saw the one Ātma did a complete change come over Him. He forgot all worldly ties, such as mother, father, wife and child. He forgot even His own body. That is why he came to be called ‘Buddha’.
