In plain words
Wherever you look there is desire, desire, desire... Greed has grown beyond measure. Men misuse their senses and fall into sins of every kind. Desires there must be. But they must have a limit. Today, though, desires keep growing without any limit. And that is not all. The food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe: all of it has been polluted. It is by these five elements alone that man is able to live. When they turn to poison, how is he to live his life?!
For what was man born? Who, after all, is man? He is the very form of God. Having taken so holy a birth, if he travels a path full of faults, how can he be a man at all? However much he has studied, however many degrees he has taken, however high a position he holds, one who has no Satya and no Prema is not a man at all. In the education of today there is no substance whatever. What is gained by wasting money and time to study such studies and read such books? However many sādhanas you do, japa, dhyāna, yoga, yajña and the rest, if Satya and Prema are both missing, all of it is in vain! The man of today is forgetting Satya and Prema altogether. Look at his words and they are sweet; look at his mind and it is bitter. Outwardly he seems to smile, but within he is filling himself with poison. In such a state, how is man to find Śānti? “There is no Dharma higher than Satya”: so it is only when we hold to Satya that Dharma arises from it and brings us Śānti in every way. In body, in mind and in spirit, in all our deeds, we can then know Śānti. It is through Śānti that Prema grows in us. When Prema comes, violence has no place at all. So if you would have Prema, first of all you must hold to Satya. But today, even in the smallest matter, it is untruth, untruth, untruth! Not only that: anger enters on top of it and wholly sullies Satya. Man came here to be redeemed, not to pass his time with wife and children, with food and drink.
