In plain words
Spirituality means finding the unseen principle in the object that is seen
The divine principle is not limited to one place. It pervades everywhere. What is seen in one place is Satya the size of an atom. It is not an atom. It is infinite Satya. That is why it has been said, “Aṇor aṇīyān mahato mahīyān.”
“Looked for in the atom, it becomes the atom; looked for in the vast, it becomes the vast; holding atom and vast both together, that Ānanda itself is this Satya.”
So this is Satya joined with Ānanda. What is the colour of Ānanda? Ānanda is nothing but radiant white. It is not something that stays with darkness. Where did such Ānanda come from? It came from Satya itself. After all this had happened, ‘Who are you?’ the ṛṣis asked. “Tamasaḥ parastāt,” he said. “I myself am the one who came after the darkness,” he answered. Where did this darkness come from? It arose from the light. Satya, which came from the light, is in the darkness. That is, Satya, which is divinity, moves about in the physical darkness. But everything is visible to it. It is visible to no one. This itself is the Satya we must know today. Today ever so many educated people, men of knowledge, are winning a name as scholars, as the gifted, as the truly wise. But what have they come to know? Look at what they have come to know: it is nothing. One cannot recognise even one's own principle. If one closes the eyes and contemplates, one does not know, oneself, who one is. One cannot see one's own form by oneself. For that too, only when there is a mirror can one see one's own form. So this is not the direct form. It is only a reflected form. What all of you see are only reflected forms. But not the direct form. That is why he said, “ādityavarṇaṃ tamasaḥ parastāt”. “I am the darkness joined with the light of the sun.” “Tamas means darkness. I am the light joined with darkness. That is, the oneness itself of both darkness and light. In the same way, the oneness of good and bad. These two stay together. Without bad, good has no value.
