________________ 172 VIVEKACHUDAMANI पृथक किं मृत्स्नायाः कलशघटकुम्भाधवगतं वदत्येष भ्रान्तस्त्वमहमिति मायामदिरया ॥ ३६१ ॥ 391. All this universe known through speech and mind is nothing but Brahman; there is nothing besides Brahman, which exists beyond the utmost range of Prakriti. Are the pitcher,1 jug and jar, etc., known to be distinct from the clay of which they are composed ? It is the deluded man who talks of 'thou' and 'I', as an effect of the wine of Mâyâ. [ IPitcher &c.-The difference, if any, is only in name and form.] क्रियासमभिहारेण यत्र नान्यदिति श्रुतिः।। ब्रवीति द्वैतराहित्यं मिथ्याभ्यासनिवृत्तये ॥ ३९२ ॥ 392. The Sruti, in the passage, "Where' one sees nothing else, etc." declares by an accumulation of verbs the absence of duality, in order to remove the false superimpositions." [IWhere &c.-The reference is to Chhandogya VII. xxiv. I.-" Where one sees nothing else, hears nothing' else, knows nothing else-that is the Infinite." That is,. the Brahman is the only Reality there is. AFalse superimpositions-i.e., considering the knower, knowledge and known as distinct entities. 1 WWW माकाशवनिर्मलनिर्विकल्पं निःसीमनिस्पन्दननिर्विकारम् । http://www.Apnihindi.com
