Passage 2

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

Once the hunger is satisfied, that Ānanda is gone. In all the objects of the world there is Ānanda only while we are enjoying them; afterwards that Ānanda vanishes. The Ānanda lasts only as long as we are doing the thing. It lasts only as long as we are enjoying it. After that, this Ānanda is nowhere to be seen. That is why it has been called sādhana-janya Ānanda. That is, the Ānanda a man earns for the moment and enjoys for the moment. But that is not true Ānanda.

Ānanda is your natural quality

Man thirsts for Ānanda. Man himself is full of Ānanda. His form is Ānanda. His nature is Ānanda. This is the Ānanda that is innate. Why is it that man does not enjoy this Ānanda? Though he is himself full of Ānanda, he does not recognise his own nature, and he turns his gaze and his feelings outward onto the world; that is why he cannot enjoy his own Ānanda. He thinks that all his Ānanda lies in Prakṛti. No, no: that is the great mistake. The Ānanda that is everywhere is in himself. Within the milk, in every drop, there is butter. But we cannot see it. Only when we make the milk into curd and churn the curd does this butter, spread evenly through it all, appear before us as one. If instead we do not do the work the way it has to be done, do not change the milk the way it has to be changed, but simply hold the milk in our hand and sift it for the butter, asking where it is, we will never see it. In the same way, every kind of Ānanda lies made manifest in the mind of man. Only when he churns the mind, searches the mind and examines the mind through and through, and recognises his own nature, does this divine Saccidānanda become ours.

Man today lives his life taking only the life principle of the annamaya and prāṇamaya to be Satya; he does not travel on even as far as the manomaya.
