In plain words
What you have heard and seen here you must carry into your heart, and through it try to experience the divine. In our Bhārata we see a great many holy, spiritual observances such as these, and hear of them. The devotion and faith found in Bhārata are not to be seen in any other country. That is why upheavals are breaking out in many countries and many regions. But the people of Bhārata, however many hardships come, however many losses befall them, however many sorrows arise, rise above them by remembering the name of God and live their lives in peace. Such holiness and such calm are not to be seen in any other country. To be born in so holy a land is a great good fortune. Rites such as yajñas and yāgas are seen nowhere but in Bhārata. People think that yajñas and yāgas mean chanting a few mantras and offering sticks of sacred wood into the fire. For man to offer himself up to God, to give joy to God, to become worthy of God’s Prema... This is the true yajña. Yajñas and yāgas are not done merely for your own selfish ends and your own gain. Rites such as yajñas and yāgas came into being for the good of others and the welfare of the world. These have been growing in our Bhārata from time without beginning. In the Tretā Yuga a great many yajñas and yāgas were performed. But in those days the rākṣasas kept disrupting them. The reason? They did not know the greatness of yajñas and yāgas, or the truth about them! By the time the Dvāpara Yuga came, people tried to understand them to some extent. Today everyone is educated! So you must understand fully the greatness of rites such as yajñas and yāgas, and practise them. That is, whatever work you do, do it in the holy spirit of ‘I am doing this to please God.’ At every step, in every atom, the love of God must arise in us. Man is born to make his life blessed by doing acts that please God, not to waste his time and his body on eating and drinking alone.
