VIVEKACŪDĀMANI
शिष्य उवाच ।
भ्रमेणाप्यन्यथा वाऽस्तु जीवभावः परात्मनः ।
तदुपाधेरनादित्वान्नानादेर्नाश इष्यते ॥ १९२ ॥
75
The disciple questioned:
192. Be it through delusion or otherwise that, the
Supreme Self has come to consider Itself as the Jiva,¹ this
superimposition is without beginning, and that which has
no beginning cannot be supposed to have an end cither.
[1Jiva-The individual soul, or the Self under self-imposed limita-
tions.]
अतोऽस्य जीवंभावोऽपि नित्या भवति संसृतिः ।
न निवर्तेत तन्मोक्षः कथं में श्रीगुरो वद ॥ १९३ ॥
193. Therefore the Jivahood of the soul also must have
no end, and its transmigration must continue for ever.
How then can there be liberation for the soul? Kindly
enlighten me on this point, o revered Master.
[Jivahood-The self-hypnotised state of the ever-free Atman.]
श्रीगुरुरुवाच ।
सम्यक्पृष्टं त्वया विद्वन्सावधानेन तच्छृणु ।
प्रामाणिकी न भवति भ्रान्त्या मोहितकल्पना ॥ १९४ ॥
The Teacher replied:
194. Thou hast rightly questioned, O learned man!
Listen therefore attentively: The imagination which has
been conjured up by delusion can never be accepted as a
fact.
