In plain words
Unable to recognise the equality and oneness of these two, man divides them into two separate things. The oneness of these two is the true principle of the Ātma. Believing that in this physical, worldly, natural world material things alone are the measure, man dedicates his life to these things. But if one considers calmly whether they are true and lasting, there is no truth in them at all. Only for the moment does it appear true. But it is not lasting truth. It is not lasting Ānanda. If one is to attain this lasting Ānanda, one must make the proper effort. The whole world is full of Sat Cit Ānanda. This world is Saccidānanda. From the ant to Brahmā, every living being is waiting, craning its neck, for Ānanda. Not man alone. Beasts, birds and animals too go on longing for this Ānanda. This Ānanda is the chief life-breath of all beings. Without Ānanda man cannot stand in the world even for a moment. Many śāstras have been teaching for the sake of this Ānanda. The Vedas and śāstras, the itihāsas and purāṇas, have all been teaching that Sat Cit Ānanda is the chief goal. Many people believe that the world exists. But a blind man does not know at all, by his own experience, the truth that this world exists. Because everyone teaches and says that it exists, he too believes that the world exists. Man today is the same: because the itihāsas and purāṇas, the scholars, and the Vedas and śāstras declare that Sat Cit Ānanda exists, every man utters “Saccidānanda”. He too sees no truth in it at all by his own experience. Today every man is able to know what Saccidānanda is only when he has recognised what humanness means. He thinks this Sat Cit Ānanda is some substance that exists apart from man. This Sat Cit Ānanda is nothing other than oneself. What is the reason for thinking it exists apart? Because this physical delusion has settled in him in many ways, he believes this Saccidānanda exists apart.
