In plain words
They are all wound round one another. In the same way, it is best for people to live in harmony with one another. What fills the Buddha's heart is one single feeling. That is the very principle of Prema. What does ‘Dharmaṃ śaraṇaṃ gacchāmi’ mean? We must take refuge in Dharma. ‘Premaṃ śaraṇaṃ gacchāmi.’ We must take refuge in the principle of Prema. Where there is no Prema, there is no humanness at all. So we must share our Prema with everyone. We must love all, with no difference between beggar and rich man. We must not love people by looking at their money. Money is not what matters. Money comes and goes, morality comes and grows. So keep your mind pure. We must not hurt anyone. Help ever, hurt never. We must help everyone. Only such a one rises to the level of the Buddha. There is no use in our standing on a platform and giving grand speeches; we must prove what we teach by practising it ourselves. We must regard divinity as one and go on worshipping with joy. We can call God by any name, ‘Rāmā’, ‘Kṛṣṇā’, ‘Buddhā’ or ‘Swāmī’. The divinity in all is one. We must keep the flower of oneness in our hearts and go on giving its fragrance to all.
We must keep the mind steady on oneness
Without oneness, however many japas you do, however much tapas you do, there is no gain. Many people hold a japamālā in the hand and keep turning it. But the more they turn the japamālā, the more their mind too keeps turning. If the mind too keeps turning along with the mālā, what is the use? We must keep the mind steady. Steadiness and oneness must both be there. Only then does human birth become worthwhile.
You know: when a lorry goes along loaded with a heap of rubbish, many flies swarm over it. When that lorry stops somewhere in front of a laddu shop, those flies settle on the laddus in the shop too.
