VIVEKACHUDAMANI
रूपादन्यदवेक्षितं किमभितश्चक्षुष्मता दृश्यते तब्रह्मविदः सतः किमपरं बुद्धविहारास्पदम् ॥ ५२१ ॥ 521. The universe is an unbroken series of perceptions of Brahman, hence it is in all respects nothing but Brahman. See this with the eye of illumination and a serene mind, under all circumstances. Is one who has eyes ever found to see all around anything else but forms ? Similarly, what is there except Brahman to engage the intellect of a man of realisation ?
[ Series '&c.-Existence, Knowledge, and Bliss, which are the Essence of Brahman, can be found, on 'analysis, as underlying every perception of ours. By another way of reasoning, the world is simply Brahman seen through a veil of name and form, which are contributed by the mind. It is X+mind, as Swami Vivekananda bas put it.
2One who &c.--suggests a discriminating man whose view of life will be different from that of the ordinary man. Hence he can generalise the objective world as so many forms. 'Form' implies 'colour', which also is a meaning of the word 'Rupa'. ]
कस्तां परानन्दरसानुभूति
मुत्सृज्य शून्येषु रमेत विद्वान् । चन्द्रे महाहादिनि दीप्यमाने
चिन्दुमालोकयितुं क इच्छेत् ॥ ५२२ ॥
