In plain words
When these sparks go far from this fire, they turn into charcoal. Their light stops. The name changes. Such people are ignorance embodied.
Jñāna is to abide in the feeling of the one Ātma
People do not become jñānis merely by learning books or merely by knowing the śāstras. What is Jñāna? ‘Advaita darśanaṃ jñānam’. Jñāna is to abide in the feeling of the one Ātma. Everything is within us. That Saccidānanda is within you. For that Ānanda you must develop Sat and Cit. Only then does the name ‘vyakti’ come true to its meaning. You will say there seems to be a vyakti there. The word vyakti does not fit everyone. The word vyakti is very precious. But without knowing its worth we call everyone we see a vyakti, and so we make this holy word unholy. Whatever words we use, we must know them first and then use them. Who is a vyakti? Only one who makes manifest the power of the Ātma, which is in him unmanifest and unseen, is a vyakti. Sat, Cit and Ānanda are within us, unmanifest. They are deeply hidden. You must bring that forth. You must experience its Ānanda. Only then do you become a vyakti.
The Ānanda that is one with the Paramātma is lasting Ānanda
Sat means being, Cit means awareness. Being means what stays the same always. What stays ever the same is mādhurya. That is sweetness. Sweetness means sugar or jaggery. Put it in water, and it stays sweet. Put it in pāyasam, in tea, in milk, and it stays sweet. Whatever you put it in, that sweetness never goes. So that which is forever is Sat. I bring it down to the level of the world to give you an example, but sugar is not Sat. I say it so that you understand. It is always sweet. This is its quality. Whatever the quantity, the quality is one!
