In plain words
In this world we see many sights. We will not at all agree to look at what …. This world is like a newspaper. Today newspaper, tomorrow waste paper. Today we have seen the world. We enjoy all the pleasures and all the joys there are in this world. But however much we enjoy, we keep longing: we must enjoy more, we must enjoy more. What this desire is like …: it is like trying to read waste paper all over again. Reading the waste paper itself over again, all this becomes time waste, life waste. We must read the newspaper. We want news. Man longs for this news. He longs to know what is happening in America. What is happening in Russia? What is happening in Rhodesia? So he tries to find out. What is happening in which country: he swells with joy to inquire into the news of all those countries. He gathers news from everything … he does not find out what comes from within himself. News is coming from every side. From within him, nuisance is coming. The news that comes from within us is the true one.
This is what is called conscience. It is called Cit. This Cit is in you yourself. But we are turning that Cit into rubbish. We must turn Cit into Sat. We must turn Sat into Ānanda. That itself is Sat … Ānanda. Every human being longs for joy. Where is this joy? Is it … in an object, or is it in a worldly matter? No. If joy were in worldly matters, we could go on … worldly matters without end. If joy were in objects, there are … in the world who can acquire any number of objects. If joy were in a person, you could truly … friendship with as many people as you like. This joy is not in objects. This joy is not in persons. This joy is not in worldly matters. It is all within us. The very joy that is within us we display upon persons, upon worldly matters, upon objects, and we experience it as a reflection seen in a mirror. These are merely the doings of …. A dog had nothing to do. It got hungry. It was wandering here and there. Somewhere it came upon a bone. The dog rejoiced that it had found a bone. Being hungry, it went on licking it all over. It found no substance at all. It bit hard into the bone. Then a tiny piece of that very bone pierced the dog's gums. Then blood came flowing … from those gums of the dog. The blood that flowed fell on the bone. Drinking the blood that fell on the bone, this dog rejoices that this blood has come from the bone.
