VIVEKACŪDĀMANI
[1Sruti passages-Those that describe the ātman negatively, by the
Neti Neti (not this, not this) method.
Culminating point-Beyond which the process of reasoning or
analysis cannot go. What takes place then is termed Aparoksinubhilti,
Realization, and the mind is then said to be in the Samadhi state. ]
योऽयमात्मा स्वयंज्योतिः पञ्चकोशविलक्षणः ।
अवस्थात्रयसाक्षी सन्निविकारो निरन्जनः ।
सदानन्दः स विज्ञेयः स्वात्मत्वेन विपश्चिता ॥ २११ ॥
211. This self-effulgent ātman which is distinct from
the five sheaths, the Witness of the three states, the Real,
the Changeless, the Untainted, the everlasting Bliss-is to
the wise man his own Self.
[Untainted- By nescience: hence Absolute.]
be realized
शिष्य उवाच ।
मिथ्यात्वेन निषिद्धेषु कोशेष्वेतेषु पञ्चसु ।
सर्वाभावं विना किञ्चिन्न पश्याम्यत्र हे गुरो ।
विज्ञेयं किमु वस्त्वस्ति स्वात्मनाऽऽत्मविपश्चिता ॥ २१२॥
The disciple questioned:
212. After these five sheaths have been eliminated as
unreal, I find nothing, O Master, in this universe but a
Void, the absence of everything. What entity is there left
forsooth with which the wise knower of the Self should
realize his identity ?
[The position of the Buddhistic Sunyavādins Nihilists who deny
that there remains anything positive after the ultimate analysis, is here
set forth as a prima facie view, and the refutation is given in the next
few lokas.]
