THE TRUE KNOWER
135
9. There is no attachment or non-
attachment in one for whom the ocean¹ of
the world has dried up. His look is
vacant, action purposeless* and the senses
inoperative.³
[Ocean etc.-The world (life of birth and
rebirth) is likened unto an ocean. When one falls
in an ocean, he is buffeted and carried hither and
thither by its waves and finds it hard to reach the
shore and there is untold suffering. In the Samsâra,
Karmas and desires move us hither and thither, we
suffer greatly and cannot reach the certitude of
Self-knowledge.
2 Dried etc. When one is free from ignorance
and its resultant Karmas and desires. One then
realizes the Self.
3 Vacant-Because he has no motive whatsoever
inside.
* Purposeless-Because his actions have no end
in view.
5
Inoperative-Because his senses no longer re-
ceive any impression from the objects presented to
them, they do not act like the senses of an ordinary
man.]
न जागर्ति न निद्राति नोन्मीलति न मीलति ।
अहो परदशा कापि वर्तते मुक्तचेतसः ॥१०॥
