Jñānasāra
Meaning: The non-distinction between body and the soul etc. is always to be met with easily in this world. The distinction that the body and soul are different is rare to be met with after crores of births even. (2) [114]
80
Notes: The discrimination and the absence of it are so opposite to each other that whereas the former is rarely to be met with, the latter is just the reverse of it. The knowledge that soul is totally different from the matter, in a word the is a key to emancipation. (2) [114]

Meaning: The mixed nature of the soul is experienced through passionate thoughts on account of indiscrimination just as the variegated character of the sky is on account of streaks of various colours due to a specific disease of the eyes, called Timira. (3)[115]
Notes: faf is a particular disease of the eyes which comes in the way of seeing the thing clearly. It is compared with faa which means the absence of Discrimination. Compare what the author says in his 'अध्यात्मसार' आत्मज्ञानफलं ध्यानमात्मज्ञानं च मुक्तिदम् । आत्मज्ञानाय तन्नित्यं यत्नः कार्यो महात्मना ॥ ( 3 ) [ 115]
