Thou knowest the pots, clothes etc., and therefore thou believest in their existence. But, thou dost not believe in the knower of the them. What can one say of such knowledge ?
Commentary.--Here Srimat Rajchandra touches the line of argument of Rene Des- M. cartes in establishing the existence of the soul in his famous Cogito, ergo, sum; which is forever a classic and most irrefutable mode of proving the knower, the Ego, the Soul.
56 परम बुद्धि कृश देहमां, स्थूल देह मति अल्प। देह होय जो आतमा, घटे न आम विकल्प ॥५६॥
कृशे देहे घना बुद्धिरघना स्थूलविग्रहे । स्याद् देहो यदि आत्मैव नैवं तु घटना भवेत् ॥५६॥
(We see) Supreme enlightenment in a slight body and small intelligence in a big heavy body. If the body is the soul, then this difference cannot arise.
57 जड चेतननो भिन्न छ, केवल प्रगट स्वभाव । एकपणुं पामे नहीं, त्रणे काल द्वयभाव ॥५७॥ केवलं भिन्न एघाऽस्ति स्वभावो जड-जीवयोः । कदापि न तयोरैक्यं द्वैतं कालत्रिके तयोः ॥ ५७ ॥
