In plain words
Even for dal that is digested within an hour, we think so much about taste. Does humanness, which is to live thirty years, fifty years, sixty years, eighty years, not need some taste at least? Without this taste, how is man able to live all this while? Is this a human life? No, no. Moment by moment we must go on using this sacred value that lies in humanness. Because these human values are forgotten today, man trusts in the world, loses his humanness and lives out his life merely as a beast.
Without Prema There Is No Life at All
In spiritual thought there are three words: ‘asti’, ‘bhāti’ and ‘priyamu’. In Sanskrit these same are named Sat, Cit and Ānanda. What is the inner meaning of Sat, Cit and Ānanda? This is a tumbler. This tumbler is here. Only when it is here do we give it the name ‘tumbler’. That which is: being; that itself is Sat. It is what does not change. What is: being. But how are you able to recognise that it is? There is a light that makes it shine. If this same tumbler were in the dark, we could not say that it is. Because it is in the light, we say that the tumbler is. What is that light? That very light is a Jñāna. That light itself proves the truth that this tumbler is here. This light they called ‘Cit’. What proves that which is: that is Cit. Cit and Sat are an inseparable bond, a mutual support. When we say here that the tumbler is, the light too is there. That is, Jñāna is there. We are able to recognise the form of this object. Only when these two happen is there satisfaction for us. This satisfaction is Ānanda. What is: Sat; what proves that it is: Cit. The satisfaction that arises in the oneness of these two is Ānanda. So Sat, Cit and Ānanda are what make the form of an object stand out clearly. That same is the form of this world.
