CHAPTER I

of the empirical Self. But when his attention is drawn to the error of such false identification by his spiritual master, he certainly realises his mistake and is bound to discard the alien features as not his own
पत्थि मम को वि मोहो बुज्झदि उवभोग एव अहमेक्को।
तं मोहणिम्ममत्तं समयस्स वियाणया विति ॥३६॥ natthi mama ko vi moho bujjhadi uvao ga eva ahamekko tam mohanimmamattań samayassa viyāņayā viņti. (36)
नास्ति मम कोपि मोहो बुध्यते उपयोग एवाहमेकः ।
तं मोहनिर्ममत्वं समयस्य विज्ञायकाः अवन्ति ॥३६॥ 36. I am unique inasmuch as I am of the nature of upayoga; hence no delusion whatsoever is related to me. He who thinks like this the knowers of the true Self call one free from delusion."
COMMENTARY Nirmamatva: without any personal interest, emphasises the former characteristic of nir-mohaiva, freedom from delusion. This gātha reiterates the necessity for discarding all alien feautres of the empirical consciousness. “These are not mine. I am but the light that illuminates the inner Self as well as the outer cosmos, being all-illuminating pure consciousness. I certainly have no personal interest in things resulting from self-delusion." One who thinks like that is said to be free from delusion.
णत्थि मम धम्म आदी बुज्झदि उवओग एव अहमेक्को।
तं धम्मणिम्ममत्तं समयस्स वियाणया विति ॥३७॥ natthi mama dhamma adi bujjhadi uvao ga eva ahamekko tań dhammaņimmamattań samayassa viyānayā viņti (37)
नास्ति मम धर्मादिर्बुध्यते उपयोग एवाहमेकः ।
ते धर्मनिर्ममत्वं समयस्य विज्ञायकाः ब्रुवन्ति ॥३७॥ 37. I am unique inasmuch as I am of the nature of upayoga. Hence dharma etc., are not related to me... Hence, he who thinks like this, the knowers of the true Self call, "one unrelated to dharma, etc.”
COMMENTARY Previously the author has emphasised the fact that it is erroneous to identify the true Self with the empirical Self
