**Meaning:** The non-duality of the soul (Atma) and non-soul (Anatma) has been heard, experienced, and introduced, but only a rare individual knows its distinction through nature or instruction. ||4||
**Meaning:** Therefore, self-knowledge (Atma-jnana) is beneficial by considering oneness (Ekattva) and separateness (Prithaktva). But the contrary intellect of those who are attached to the external is false, futile, and hypocritical. ||5||
**Meaning:** There is only one soul (Atma) which resides in its own nature, and it is described as having the characteristics of knowledge (Jnana), vision (Darshan), and conduct (Charitra). ||6||
**Meaning:** Just as the brilliance, purity, and power of a gem are not separate from the gem, so too are the characteristics of knowledge, vision, and conduct not separate from the soul. ||7||
**Meaning:** The difference in the characteristics of the soul is due to convention (Vyavahar), which is perceived through the use of words like "six" (Shastyaadi), but not through certainty (Nischya). ||8||
