In plain words
One day Laila said:
Prema has turned to poison, the mind has turned to soot; how am I to bear it ....
Prema must not turn into poison. The mind must become full of Prema; it must not build up worldly desires and turn to poison. Only when the mind is full of Prema do we find happiness.
We must see divinity in all
When we recognise the truth that every person in society is endowed with divinity, and act on it, we see no differences at all. We must see divinity in all. Then no differences of any kind arise for anyone. All are one! All are one, be alike to everyone. In this way we must bring about the right change in ourselves. You read many books. You must recognise the truth in what you read. The divinity called ‘I’ is in each one. ‘I’ is not Brahmā, not Viṣṇu, not Īśvara. ‘I am I.’ Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Īśvara are names that were given, not names one is born with. Man gives names for identification. But names are not what matters. We think of Brahmā as the creator, Viṣṇu as the protector and Śiva as the one who dissolves. God gives darśan to each one in the form that answers to that one's own feeling.

Noticing it, Pārvatī turned to Īśvara: “My Lord! Save this fellow from falling,” she prayed. “Pārvatī! You are the one who saw him first.
