In plain words
But the scientist cannot say what it is turning for. It is turning round the sun. Why does it turn. There is no answer. At night the stars shine. By day the stars do not shine: can they say why! Why do they not shine? So the why is something no one at all is able to tell. Spirituality alone, only spirituality, can settle this easily. But this what?, why? both of them, what is there is only one. A small example. A man by the name of Rāmulu put on the costume of Rāvaṇa. But this Rāvaṇa, in the costume he has put on, acts on the stage like Rāvaṇa. But even while he acts like Rāvaṇa, Rāmulu remains only a witness. All the acting, every bit of it, is Rāvaṇa's alone. Merely by acting, Rāma cannot become Rāvaṇa. Rāma is there in Rāvaṇa too, but Rāvaṇa is not in Rāmulu. So in this universe, on this stage of the cosmic play, the whole world puts on a costume of one kind and acts out many kinds of parts. But in all of these, every one, what is called ‘the Ātma’ remains only a witness. Neither to the bad deeds this Rāvaṇa does, nor to the good deeds rich in tapas. is this Rāma connected in the least; life itself is a scene in which a part is played. Man is the sūtradhāra of a play. But he thinks, ‘I alone am the enjoyer, I alone am the doer, I alone am everything’; yet Rāma does not utter there in the least, ‘I am the doer, I am the enjoyer.’ He is only a witness. In just the same way, everything we see in the world today, all of it, is only costumes put on. All these are only supports. Supports for what? Supports only for the world. But what is the support of the world? That alone is the Ātma. This whole world, all of it, is bound up only with a physical science. Its witness is the very embodiment of the Ātma. He is the one bound up with the principle of spirit.
There is one thing we must recognise well. This principle of spirit. It is made up of 25 tattvas.
