In plain words
Strength of arm and strength of mind he may have, yet without the strength of God he comes to grief. A man as great as Karṇa, what became of him in the end? Do not forget this good word.
Everyone knows the word "God"; but what does knowing the word bring? You worship the blessed one who has become God, yet you do not know the word "God".
Until the jīva's ignorance is removed, the feeling that it is itself the Paramātma does not arise. The form of the Paramātma is Jñāna. That itself is the self-luminous light. When a man constantly thinks, "I am that light, I am that Jñāna", this is the state of Advaita. What is light? It is what makes objects known. Then by what means are we able to see objects today? By day we are able to see things in sunlight. At night we are able to see things by the moonlight, by the light of the stars and by the light of lamps. Yet how are we able to know that this is sunlight, that this is a glow, that this is the light of a lamp? Through what are we able to know it? We are able to know it through the eyes. Now in sleep we experience dreams. But in sleep there are no eyes, are there! The eyes are shut, are they not. The eyes are not seeing, are they? Yet just as we see by day, we are able to see all objects in the dream. In every way we experience them with the eyes. Then who is it that sees there? Who is it that experiences this? There the Buddhi, by its own radiant intelligence, is able to see these objects. But in deep sleep even that Buddhi is not there! Yet in that deep sleep he experiences Ānanda. Who is it that experiences this Ānanda? That itself is the Ātma. This very Ātma is I. I myself am the Ātma. This is the truth we must recognise today. By the Ātma the Buddhi, by the Buddhi the eyes, by the eyes the objects: so are we able to recognise them. This Ātma alone is Satya. This very Ātma is you.
