In plain words
The moment the clouds move away, the sun shines on, self-luminous. Only when man removes his Ajñāna does he come to know Sat, Cit and Ānanda. What is meant by this Ajñāna? Ajñāna is not one thing and Jñāna another. Action and reaction. If there were no Jñāna at all, there would be no Ajñāna at all. Only because Jñāna is there does Ajñāna stay with it like a shadow. We follow the shadow called Ajñāna, but we are not following the svarūpa called Satya. So long as you remain in this feeling called Ajñāna, you think there is something other than you, something greater than you. Here is a fine example of this. The sun has risen; when you turn your gaze towards the sun, you do not see your reflection. When you stand with the sun behind you, the reflection is there ahead of you. That is, when you put Satya behind you and journey forward, the reflection stays ahead of you. Even if you think you must push it back, it goes on ahead of you. When we contemplate God, who is Sat, Cit and Ānanda, we do not see the shadow called Ajñāna. That is why the Upaniṣads said, ‘Uttiṣṭata, jāgrata.’ Today you are forgetting Satya. You are putting your faith in Asatya. A man is dreaming in his sleep. While he is dreaming, he takes that alone to be true. In the dream he imagines himself as President, as Prime Minister. As long as he is in the dream, he is President, he is Prime Minister. The moment he wakes, there is nothing. You are in the sleep called Ajñāna.
Advaita Darśanaṃ Jñānaṃ
If Ajñāna is to go far away, Jñāna must come. What is Jñāna? ‘Advaita darśanaṃ jñānam.’ Many people keep longing for God, adoring Him, worshipping Him. By this much alone God does not come within our reach. So long as you think about Him, you are separate and God is separate. You two must become one. How?
