________________ 154 VIVEKACHUDAMANI तत्कार्यमेतद्वितयं यतो मृषा ge The G reg II 38€ att fafort: Tencerer देहावसाना विषयाश्च सः । क्षणेऽन्यथाभावितया ह्यमीषा मसत्वमात्मा तु कदापि नान्यथा ॥३५० ॥ 349-350. Like iron' manifesting as sparks through contact with fire, the Buddhi manifests itself as knower and known through the inherence of Brahman. As these two (knower and known), the effects of Buddhi, are observed to be unreal in the case of delusion, dream and imagination, similarly, the modifications of Prakriti, from egoism down to the body and all sense-objects are also unreal. Their unreality is verily due to their being subject to change every moment. But the Atman never changes. [ 'Like iron &c.-Iron itself is never incandescent, it is fire that makes it so appear. Similarly the intelligence of Brahman is imparted to Buddhi. The word in can be disjoined in two ways: viz., as 79T + one or as Hra + f ; the first gives us the meaning of 'sparks' and the second that of knower and known, i.e., subject and object. Unreal-because they, too, are effects and derivatives of Prakriti and depend on their perception by the Buddhi. ] http://www.Apnihindi.com
