In plain words
In the universe the Lord shines forth; in the Lord the universe ever shines; the bond of the universe and the Lord cannot be broken: Sai's word is a bundle of the gems of Satya.
People keep thinking that sorrow is the wealth of Prakṛti and Ānanda the wealth of God. This is a great mistake.
Hardship and happiness, the two, are joined together; no one has the power to part them; happiness we never see anywhere on its own; when hardship bears fruit, they call it happiness.
Hardship and happiness are not two separate things. The thread and the cloth are one! Pull out the thread, and there is no cloth. In just the same way, set the divine apart and there is no jīva at all. Set the jīva itself apart, and life itself has no meaning. So it is most necessary to recognise the Satya that the jīva is God. Only then does sorrow go far from man.
To see yourself is sākṣātkāra
Next, what is the place to be reached? It is one's own true place. What is one's own true place? To know oneself is one's own true place. God has granted the body only so that one may know oneself. Where is one to search for oneself? You cannot search for yourself anywhere outside, in some place out there. In the same way, to go searching for the divine is sheer madness. ‘With hands and feet everywhere, with eyes, heads and faces everywhere, with ears everywhere in the world, It stands, enveloping all.’ If man, though he himself is all, goes searching for himself, one can only call him mad. So to recognise oneself is to reach one's own true place. In the language of Vedānta this was uttered as ‘Neti, neti.’ I am not the body. I am not the Manas. I am not the Buddhi. I am not the citta.
