In plain words
Eternal Ānanda, the giver of the highest happiness, absolute, Jñāna in form, beyond the pairs of opposites, like the sky, the goal of ‘Tat tvam asi’ and the like, one, eternal, spotless, unmoving, the Sākṣī of every mind…
Man today makes many efforts for the sake of Ānanda. Ānanda is not something you buy from outside; it is not had by striving for it. To experience Ānanda you must give up attachment to the body. The body is not what matters, the mind is not what matters. The body is made of the five elements. The mind is a mere bundle of thoughts. If we give up attachment to the body, we can experience Ānanda without limit. Desire, anger, greed, delusion, pride and envy must be pushed far away. We must develop the Ānanda and Śānti that are turned within. But instead of increasing his Śānti and Ānanda, man is cutting them short; even in small, petty matters he falls into unrest. Neither unrest nor Praśānti comes from outside. "I want peace," says man. Where is Peace? If Peace were in the world outside, you could spend as much money as you liked and buy it. But what is outside is not Peace, it is Pieces! Real Śānti is within you. To keep Śānti inside you and search for it in the outer world is madness.
Whatever hardships come, we must not lose our purity and serenity
Man’s heart is very pure, serene and radiant. It is we ourselves who fill that serene heart with unrest. Water gets mixed into milk. The whiteness of the milk does not go because water has mixed with it. Even when it is set on the stove and boiled, the milk does not lose its whiteness. In the same way, whatever hardships and losses come, our heart must not lose its purity, its serenity and its radiance. Whiteness belongs to the heart. It is the sign of purity. However many sorrows come, we must keep them down and experience Ānanda.
