Yoga-drishti-samuccaya
It is imperishable. Such is the feeling. Through this presented bias, these action-etc. wise ones are worthy of feeling through tattva-niti.
The example of the sun-firefly given above is clarified here:- "There is a small creature named firefly, which is also called a glowworm, which shines in the part of the night. Its luminous brilliance, in its form, is small and perishable. It shines, flickers, and glows every now and then, in which it itself is not really visible, it makes faint flashes for a moment, and then disappears somewhere. But the luminous brilliance of the sun is the opposite. The brilliance of the sun is great and imperishable. It shines brightly, sparkles, in which the whole world substance is truly illuminated, it casts an extraordinary brilliant and imperishable light, and thus it continuously shines for a long time. This is a well-known example.
Where is the sun? Where is the firefly?
From this example, the wise ones, the learned ones, the discerning gentlemen, should consider the ultimate meaning through tattva-niti - they are worthy of feeling. The future mechanical material action is like a firefly, its brilliance is small and perishable; and the feeling-like tattvic bias is like the sun, its brilliance is great and imperishable. The visible action shines, flickers, and glows every now and then, like the firefly, it makes faint flashes for a moment, in which its own form is not even visible, and it disappears somewhere, its trace is not found. But the presented feeling, like the sun, shines brightly, sparkles, in which its own self-form, what it is, is also illuminated, the whole world form is illuminated, it casts an extraordinary brilliant and imperishable knowledge-light; and thus it continuously shines, the imperishable luminous feeling. Thus, in front of the infinite and imperishable luminous sun, the firefly-like insect's faint glow appears as faint as it is; similarly, in front of the infinite and imperishable luminous knowledge-light spreading feeling, the whole material action cycle appears as small and perishable; therefore, material action is not in any calculation compared to the pure feeling, which is the tattvic bias. Etc. is worthy of feeling.
Feeling: Material action is like a firefly
