In plain words
What belongs to the jīva is akṣara. ‘So to recognise the oneness of these two is supremely holy,’ he said. Only when you recognise the oneness of these two can you use the fullness of these sixteen kalās well. The whole moving and unmoving universe has come forth from akṣara itself. It came from the form of akṣara. It has been turning into the world of akṣara. This akṣara itself gives birth to this world, sustains it, protects it, and afterwards dissolves it into itself. The oneness of the jīva and Brahman is itself akṣara. That is, the oneness of the two, the transient and the eternal, is itself akṣara. If these full sixteen kalās are to be made holy step by step, they become holy when they are joined to the feeling of the Ātma. Let your sight not stop at the eye: travel up to the Ātma. Develop the feeling: ‘By the light of the Ātma alone I am able to see with my eyes.’ Do not take the organs of action alone as your support, thinking merely that the ears are hearing. Only through this Prajñā, the form of the Ātma, are the ears able to hear. So for everything there is one thing called Prajñā, as the cause. Outward sight is Viśva. The mental principle, the inward sight, the state of sleep or the state of dream: all this is Prājña. Within this principle of Prajñā, light too arises. So whatever we do and whatever we see, we must make all of it one in the feeling of the Ātma. Only when we do so do all these take shape as full kalās. How? Many rivers flow in many forms. Their forms differ; their names differ. But once they reach the ocean they lose their forms and names completely. They take on the form, name and taste of the ocean alone. In just the same way, these five elements are so many streams. These five prāṇas are one stream. These five senses are one stream. The mind is a still more fearsome stream, a Gaṅgā. When all these flow on and, step by step, enter within the Prajñā called the Ātma, all the kalās take shape as kalās of the Ātma. They lose all their forms, names and tastes. They attain the holy principle of Prajñā of the Ātma. By joining the Ātma it stays eternal, true, stainless, beyond compare and spotless. That is exactly why we must make our humanness worthwhile in the sixteen kalās: only then can we become puruṣas and Puruṣottamas.
