So have you seen that thing? You have seen your father, you have seen your mother or you have seen your son. But have you seen the real father who is within the body of the father? Have you seen the real son which is in the body of the son? No. Then your whole conception of education, your whole conception of living condition and problems—in the false world.

By understanding Brahman your position will be that prasannātmā, you'll be joyful; na śocati na kāṅkṣati, you will never lament any loss, neither you will hanker after any so-called gain, na śocati na kāṅkṣati. Samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu, and you will look every living entity on the same level. Mad-bhaktiṁ labhate parām ([[Vanisource:BG 18.54 (1972)|BG 18.54]]). In that stage of realization, you can understand what is God and what is your relationship with God.

Therefore this movement is that one understands himself what he is. It is, of course, very plain question and answer. The other day we had some lectures in a . . . (indistinct) . . . sunday school, and I called one, a small boy, and I asked him that, "What is this?" He said: "It is my hand, it is my head, it is my leg, it is my body, it is my pants, it is my . . ." And I asked him, "Where you are? You are simply saying 'my, my, my,' and where you are?"

So similarly, everyone can understand that what I am. If you think yourself, if you meditate on yourself, if you see your hand, "Am I this hand?" you will say: "No, it is my hand." "Am I this leg?" You will say: "No, it is my leg." "Am I this head?" "No, it is my head." Then where you are? So that person who is thinking within that, "It is my hand, it is my head, it is my leg, it is my pant, it is my coat," that you are.

So have you seen that thing? You have seen your father, you have seen your mother or you have seen your son. But have you seen the real father who is within the body of the father? Have you seen the real son which is in the body of the son? No. Then your whole conception of education, your whole conception of living condition and problems—in the false world.

Therefore this movement is required at the present moment in the world. Ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanam ([[Vanisource:CC Antya 20.12|CC Antya 20.12, Śikṣāṣṭaka 1]]). This will cleanse the status of your mental condition. Ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanaṁ bhava-mahā-dāvāgni-nirvāpaṇam. And as soon as you understand yourself, then the whole problem—social, political, economical—everything will be solved, and gradually you shall realize your transcendental life.

Your transcendental life is joyful. Ānanda-mayo 'bhyāsāt (Vedānta-sūtra 1.1.12). Transcendental life means always full of joy, joyful. That is our nature. We are hankering after joyful life, but we do not know where to hanker, how to get it. By nature we are joyful. It is said in the Vedānta-sūtra, ānandamayo 'bhyāsāt (Vedānta-sūtra 1.1.12): "By nature a living entity is joyful." But my joyfulness is covered by this material understanding. So I have to remove this material understanding; then again I shall become joyful.
