out absolutely, but limited to purifying the mind to be the instrument of ātmajñāna (150).
(Earlier the Guru referred to the great sword of viveka-vijñāna implying that jñāna arises from viveka or discrimination between the ātman and the anātman. The sişya asked: "Please instruct me in the process of this viveka or discrimination". The Guru proceeds to convey in detail what was said in brief relating to sthūla, sūkşma and kāraṇa śarīras and teaches the analysis and rejection of Pañcakośas).
