## Upas'har: The Inseparability of Tattvik Bias and Emotionless Action (747)
The essence of such a sentiment lies in the fact that the bias arising from the true understanding of the true nature of the Self (Sat-swaroop) is Tattvik. In this, the feeling of "this is mine" is paramount. In A-tattvik bias, opinion takes precedence, while in Tattvik bias, 'Sat' (Truth) takes precedence. A-tattvik bias is rooted in attachment to opinion, while Tattvik bias is rooted in the understanding of Truth. This is the key difference between the two. Just as A-tattvik bias is undesirable and harmful, Tattvik bias is desirable and beneficial. This Tattvik bias is the one presented here, and it is the most desirable because it arises from the inner interest, understanding, and feeling towards the true object due to the love born from virtue. What a pure feeling-based bias this is! In its presence, inert material action is insignificant, like a firefly in front of the sun. From this, it is essential to understand that the emphasis should be infinitely more on feeling than on external material action. However, the compassionate saints, saddened by the opposite situation prevalent among people, have lamented:
"Material action is the lifeblood, but devoid of feeling,
Even the teachers are like that, what will they do for the new life?.... Chandranan" - Shri Devchandraji
And they say in the same vein:
"The brilliance of the firefly is small and perishable,
The brilliance of the sun is the opposite, this is the understanding of the wise." - 224
A: The brilliance of the firefly is small and perishable, and the brilliance of the sun is the opposite, this is the understanding of the wise, this is worthy of contemplation.
**Discussion**
The luminous brilliance of the insect called Khadyaut is small and perishable in nature. And the luminous brilliance of the sun is the opposite, meaning it is vast and imperishable.
**Interpretation:**
The essence of the firefly, which is luminous, is small and perishable. The brilliance of the sun is the opposite, meaning it is vast and imperishable. This is the understanding of the wise, worthy of contemplation, based on the authoritative bias, through action and other things, by the wise.
