opinion. It is admitted that the illusion of dream is
dispelled only by the knowledge of the locus. Since
the knowledge of. Brahman-consciousness is not
attainable when one is still involved in samsāra, then
the illusion of dream would not be dispelled by the
awareness of waking, if Brahman-consciousness is
accepted as the locus. There is also the statement of
the scripture about the soul in dream, that he is the
maker. Again the experience of a particular dream
should be, then, common to all souls like the
experience of space. Therefore, Brahman-conscious-
ness determined by primal ignorance is not the locus.
१५९. ननु जीवचैतन्यस्यानावृतत्वेन सर्वदा भासमानत्वात् कथमधिष्ठानत्वम् ।
159. Objection: Since the soul-consciousness is always
seen brightly, being continuous, how can that become
the locus ?
१६०. सत्यम् । तत्रापि स्वमाध्यासानुकूलव्यावहारिकसङ्घातभानविरोध्य-
वस्थाज्ञानाभ्युपगमात् स्वमदशायां चाहं मनुष्य इत्यादिप्रातीतिकसङ्घातान्तर
भानाभ्युपगमात् शय्यायां स्वपिमीति शय्यान्तरभानवत् भानसामग्रयभावश्च
तुल्य एव ।
160. Answer: True. In that condition also a state of
ignorance suitable for the superimposition of the
dream and unsuitable for the shining of the aggregate
(seen) in waking is admitted. It is also admitted that
the objects experienced in dream in the form 'I am a
man' and the like are different (from those experienced
in waking) like the bed seen while dreaming, 'I am
sleeping in a bed', being different (from the bed in
which one is actually sleeping at the time). The
absence of the accessories to perception is, of course,
similar.
