In plain words
A small example. There is jaggery. Sweetness is its nature. When this very nature … is taken away, where then is the jaggery? So when the sweetness that is its nature is taken away, the … too is wiped out. So sorrow is not man's nature. Then where did this … come from? When we inquire into the cause of this sorrow, ignorance itself is its … place. The birthplace of this ignorance is lack of discrimination. The birthplace of lack of discrimination is Ahaṅkāra. The birthplace of this Ahaṅkāra is attachment and hatred. The birth … of this attachment and hatred is karma. The cause of karma is birth. In short, the cause of birth is birth itself.

But in the way things are today, they … the vyāvahārika waves and the prātibhāsika foam itself as the support, while we forget the water that is the support of them all. That is the pāramārthika …; without the pāramārthika foundation the building called the vyāvahārika cannot stand at all. Without the building called the vyāvahārika, the dwelling called the prātibhāsika comes to nothing. So … we must take the pāramārthika as our support. Unfortunately, because the pāramārthika has been cast aside, we feed only on the foam called the … prātibhāsika. Where do we find this … called the Kūṭastha? In the human body there are five sheaths: the annamaya kośa, the prāṇamaya kośa …, the manomaya kośa, the vijñānamaya kośa and the ānandamaya kośa. … the man of today has taken refuge in the body, the annamaya kośa, in the vital breath, and more or less in the manomaya kośa, which is mental ….
