In plain words
That itself is Advaitānanda. That itself is Paramānanda. The person who has become fit for such Paramānanda need do no sādhanas in this world, in this outer universe.
Then those of the second class read many śāstras, Purāṇas and Itihāsas in their lives. They take note of many things. In the outer world they go through all sorts of struggles for their name and fame. Such a man is one who has gained learning. They go on earning great fame. But through this acquaintance with books, through this scholarly eminence of his, he goes without God's grace altogether. When there is no grace of God, what is the use of all the learning you study? If the whole of life goes by in study alone, when will you put what you have studied into practice? The state of such a man is merely a kind of waste of time. They read many books. They go to see many great souls. They take part in many gatherings. But however many they take part in, as for grace, they stay very far from it. The reason: there is no feeling for God in their hearts. Busying themselves at length with book learning alone, they live with this superficial knowledge. For a life like this, Śānti is very far away. So this is the condition of those of the second class.
Now, what is the condition of those of the third class like? Whenever you look at him, he is thinking about the material world, the physical world, and hoping only for what is agreeable to the body. A person of this kind does not think of God even in a dream. Even some wicked people cry ‘Veṅkaṭaramaṇā!’ when trouble comes, and remember God only in times of hardship. But these pravāha-jīvas never remember God at all, in any circumstance. For those in such a condition there is no way out at all. Such human beings: ‘punarapi jananaṃ punarapi maraṇaṃ’. They are swept away in this current. Yet even among these pravāha-jīvas there are some who carry a hidden feeling.
