Gandhi's Teachers : Rajchandra Ravjibhai Mehta
so experience it? If it is as it is described, then why can't we know it like we do pots, clothes, etc.
48
माटे छे नहीं आत्मा, मिथ्या मोक्षउपाय। ए अंतर्शकातणो, समजावो सदुपाय ।।४८।।। अरेऽतो नैव आत्माऽस्ति ततो मुक्तिप्रथा वृथा। एनामाभ्यतरी रेकामुत्कीलय प्रभो! प्रभो ! ।।४८।।
Therefore, there is no soul (the doubting pupil says) and the tradition of finding liberation is futile. (O true teacher), please try to remove this my inner doubt effectively.
49
भास्यो देहाध्यासथी, आत्मा देह समान। पण ते बंने भिन्न छे, प्रगटलक्षणे भान ।।४९।। अध्यासाद् भासिता देह-देहिनोः समता, न सा। तयोर्द्वयोः सुभिन्नत्वाल्लक्षणैः प्रकटै रहो।।४९।।
(The teacher says) because of their close association body and soul look as if the same, but are not so. The two are separate, for their characteristics are obviously distinct.
50 भास्यो देहाध्यासथी, आत्मा देहसमान। पण ते बंने भिन्न छे, जेम असि ने म्यान ।।५०।। अध्यासाद् भासिता देह-देहिनोः समता, न सा। तयोर्द्वयोः सुभिन्नत्वादसिकोशायते ध्रुवम् ।।५०।।
(The teacher repeats) because of their close association body and soul look as if the same, but are not so. The two are separate, as the sword is sure separate from its sheath.
51
जे द्रष्टा छे दृष्टिनो, जे जाणे छे रूप। अबाध्य अनुभव जे रहे, ते छे जीवस्वरूप ।।५१।। दृष्टेष्टास्ति यो वेत्ति, रूपं सर्वप्रकारणम्।। भात्यऽबाध्याऽनुभूतियाँ साऽस्ति जीवस्वरूपिका।।५१।।
