In plain words
The one called God is not in another land. He is throughout one's body. ‘Deho devālayaḥ prokto jīvo devaḥ sanātanaḥ.’ Body is the Temple of GOD. What kind of temple? It is not a permanent temple; it is a moving temple, moving temple. Wherever the body goes, there God comes along with you. This is a sacred temple. A divine temple. A splendid temple. A new temple. Why should we be weary of such a temple? So we must experience the sacredness of this temple. Why was the body given?
Do you know why the body was given? To wander through lanes and alleys? No. Surely it is only to see the Dweller on Kailāsa to your eyes' content! So God gave us the body to do sacred actions. It is God's gift! With this very body we must do all our actions as sacred actions. ‘Karmānubandhīni manuṣyaloke.’ In such a world of men we must do karmas. What kind of karmas! Good karmas, satsaṅgas. What kind of thing is this satsaṅga? We think it is the company of some good devotee. It is not that.
Sat, Cit and Ānanda
‘Sat’. See good, be good, do good. We must attain company with Sat, with what is ever permanent. When we attain that Sat, ‘Cit’ is right there with us. That itself is ‘Cit’. When these two, Sat and Cit, come together, Ānanda comes to us. Sat is ever without change. It is like sugar. That is like sweetness. That is like a ruby. That is the sweetest of the sweet. It is like sugar, always: whatever water you put it in, whatever coffee you put it in, whatever tea, whatever pāyasam, whatever dish, whatever dough you put it in, it gives it a sweet taste. It is ever what is true. With that very Satya on one side, we must take hold of what is called Cit. Cit means consciousness. We must hold in our hands the water called Awareness. Then what do you do? This is Sat, this is Cit.
