In plain words
Sat Cit Ānanda. Sat is the eternal. Cit is the radiant. The very unity of these two is the Ānanda that is humanness. How is this true? Sat is what is true. You hold sugar in one hand. What is its taste? Sweet. Put it into anything you like, but its taste does not change. In one hand there is water. This is water. This is sugar. Make the two, sugar and water, one. It is neither sugar nor water. It takes shape as a sweet drink. When this eternal substance called Sat merges in the radiance called Cit, it is neither Cit nor Sat; it takes on the form called Ānanda. So Sat Cit Ānanda has taken on a boundless form in man. All around man and within man there is Ānanda alone. “Antarbahiśca tat sarvavyāpya nārāyaṇa sthitaḥ.” What is present both outwardly and inwardly is one and the same Ānanda. Yet many people make many kinds of efforts for Ānanda. These efforts are only efforts made in ignorance. There is no Ānanda separate from oneself. Each is himself the embodiment of Ānanda. To forget one’s own form of Ānanda and to scramble about, thinking we will get Ānanda from something or other, is great ignorance. If it comes to you as Ānanda, it is only your delusion. Your delusion makes you play so many kinds of games. So long as there is delusion, Brahman will not appear to you. Put delusion far from you, and Brahman will reveal Himself to you. What is the root cause of your delusion? Your own body is the root cause. So because we fill ourselves with delusion through this attachment to the body, Brahman moves far away. So every man must put away, to some degree, the delusion within him. He must reduce attachment to the body step by step. All these came along the way and joined; they did not come with one. They are passing clouds that came along the way. You were born, you grew up, you studied, you married; after the wedding, the wife appears as life. But when did she become life to you? Only after the wedding does she appear to you as life. Who was she before this? Who were you? Neither had any connection with the other. Along the way, like passing clouds, all things come together and part.
