Answer

I am writing here your Question in Hindi.
मनुष्य का चित्त अन्दर बाहर से एक नही हो सकता ?

Answer

manushya (Man) ka ('s) citta (character) andar (internal) bahar (external) se (from) ek (same) nahin (not) ho (be) sakta (can).

Man's character can not be same from both aspect internal and external.

Answer

I must confess you are a very advance learner, to come in contact with these books. Well, I dont know the meaning of Citta, the way you have spelt it, but i think i get the meaning. it has to be stithi or condition probably ( even if it is not, i think it will be something similar in meaning). so it means that
-- It is not possible that the condition of man (as in man kind) can not be the same from inside as well as outside --       andar bahar se ka matlab hai andar se bhi our bahar se bhi-- 
did i answer the query to your satisfaction? In any case, since you know the meaning of citta please tell me so that I can answer your query better. (or is it Chitha -- the funeral pyre?)
