distinction of apara and paravidya. We shall
quote passages-a few only out of hundreds which
can be quoted-which expressly and unques-
tionably make such a distinction. 'यत्र हि द्वैतमिव
भवति तदितर इतरं पश्यति; यत्र त्वस्य सर्वे आत्मैवाभूत् तत्केन कं
पश्येत् केन कं विजानीयात्' "Where there is what seems
a duality, there one sees the other ; where all
has become the Atman, for this person who is
to see whom ? Who is to know whom ?"
'यत्र
नान्यत्पश्यति नान्यच्छृणोति नान्यद्विजानाति स भूमा ; अथ यत्रान्यत्प-
श्यत्यन्यच्छृणोत्यन्यद्विजानाति तदल्पम्' " Where one sees not
another, hears not another, knows not another,
that is unlimited (bhuma) ; where one secs
another, hears another, knows another, that is
limited (alpam)." 'यो वै भूमा तदमृतम्, अथ यदल्पं तन्मर्त्यम्'
That which is unlimited is immortal; that
which is limited is mortal." 'द्वितीयाद्वै भयं भवति',
'न तु तद्वितीयमस्ति', 'अभयं वै जनक प्राप्तोऽसि ' " Fear
arises where there is a second." "There is no
second there." " O Janaka, you have gained fear-
lessness." Page after page may easily be filled up
with passages contrasting two kinds of existence
and two corresponding kinds of knowledge-one
in which there are seeming differences of all
kinds, and another in which all difference vanishes
