In plain words
What is seen, they call certain; all that is unseen, they call false; the unseen alone feeds you the fruit of your karmas: that is the secret, O jīva!
The unseen alone is the root foundation of the fruits of karma. That alone deals out the fruit of karma. However many śāstras you read, however many Vedas you recite, however much power of intellect you develop, however great the learning you acquire, though you stand at a high level of authority, all these are only states of Prakṛti; they do not belong to the principle that is eternal Satya. All these are only the distortions of the principle of the mind. The distortions of Manas alone bring man so many kinds of delusion. The day we escape from this delusion, on that very day Brahman comes to us. Yet in this world certain pains, sorrows, kinds of unrest, injustices, misdeeds and Asatyas keep growing. All these are only acts belonging to the drama of the world; they are not divine experiences that one lives through. It is merely like a kind of dream scene.
Satya is beyond the influence of place and time
Eternal Satya is one alone! ‘Ekaṃ sat viprāḥ bahudhā vadanti’. The Satya that is, is one alone! But many have gone on calling it by many names. Sāināth asked. ‘Explain clearly, Swāmi, the divinity of Satya, the sacredness of Satya, the form of Satya.’ Satya is beyond the influence of place and time. Whatever the land, whatever the time, in whatever yuga, Satya is Satya! Ekaṃ sat. That Satya itself is the form of God. What pervades the whole world everywhere, what is everlasting, what is eternal, is Satya, the one alone! That is God before our eyes. That is precisely why, from ancient times, the culture of Bhārata has gone on teaching, ‘Satyaṃvada, dharmaṃcara’. The whole world has taken this Satya itself as its support. What bears this world is Satya alone! Sat + i + em = Satya. Sat: prāṇa; i: food; em: the sun.
