VIVEKACŪDĀMANI
भ्रान्तिं विना त्वसङ्गस्य निष्क्रियस्य निराकृतेः ।
न घटेतार्थसम्बन्धो नभसो नीलतादिवत् ॥ १९५ ॥
195. But for delusion there can be no connection of the
Self— which is unattached, beyond activity, and formless--
with the objective world, as in the case of blueness etc.
with reference to the sky.
[1 Blueness etc. - The sky has no colour of its own, but we mentally
associate blueness with it. The blueness is in our mind, and not in the
sky. Similarly, limitation cxists not in the Absolute Self, but in our
own minds.]
स्वस्य द्रष्टुनिर्गुणस्याक्रियस्य
प्रत्यग्बोधानन्दरूपस्य बुद्धेः ।
भ्रान्त्या प्राप्तो जीवभावो न सत्यो
मोहापाये नास्त्यवस्तुस्वभावात् ॥ १९६ ॥
196. The Jivahood of the Atman, the Witness, which
is beyond qualities and beyond activity, and which is
realized within as Knowledge and Bliss Absolute-has
been superimposed by the delusion of the buddhi, and is
not real. And because it is by nature an unreality, it ceases
to exist when the delusion is gone.
[1Knowledge etc - These are Its essence, and therefore can never
depart from It, as heat from fire.]
यावद्भ्रान्तिस्तावदेवास्य सत्ता
मिथ्याज्ञानोज्जृम्भितस्य प्रमादात् ।
रज्ज्वां सर्पों भ्रान्तिकालीन एव
भ्रान्तेर्नाशे नैव सर्पोऽपि तद्वत् ॥ १९७ ।
