In plain words
Seeing the scene that appears before your eyes, without thinking, in your delight, ‘This is real,’ to come to know the Satya hidden behind the screen, set out with Me, without resting!
Students, embodiments of the sacred Ātma!
Where do you try to search for the Paramātma who pervades everywhere, the Paramātma who shines everywhere? That is, where is there any searching for the Paramātma who is within oneself, around oneself and everywhere? However much we search with our eyes shut, what will we find? We cannot find at all either the thing or the place we hope for.
When you open the two eyelids, “I” and “mine”, that cover the eye of Jñāna, you will see nothing but the very form of God everywhere. But we must also enquire who the people are that set about such an effort, and how many kinds of them there are. In this world of sense objects, to grieve when sorrow comes and to rejoice when joy comes: a person who lives in such a state is simply a person equal to iron. That is, when it is put into the fire, iron reddens, softens and changes its own form. When it is taken from the fire again, it hardens, takes on a black form and lives in its own shape. A person with such a nature of iron can be called the lowest. Then the one who experiences joy itself even in sorrow can be called a person with a nature of gold. That is, though this gold is put into the fire to melt it, it separates out the impurity within it, but it does not itself take on impurity. That is precisely why a man's very remembering of joy even in sorrow is compared to a kind of gold.
