Jñānasāra
just as a person who is drunk and therefore mad, mistakes the brick etc. for gold. (5) [117]
Notes : Just as a man who is drunk and therefore, mad takes the brick to be a piece of gold, so the man who is labouring under discrimination takes the body to be soul and soul to be body. Compare : उष्णस्याग्नेयथा योगावृतमुष्णमिति भ्रमः । तथा मूर्तीगसंबंधादात्मा मूर्त इति 77: 11 ( 3PETICHETT) (5) [117]
इच्छन् न परमान् भावान् विवेकाद्रेः पतत्यधः । परमं भावमन्विच्छन् नाविवेके निमज्जति ॥६॥ ॥११८॥

Meaning : A person, ignoring the noumenal point of view responsible for most exalted thinking takes a fall from the mountain of discrimination and a person hankering after superb thinking does not sink into indiscrimination. (6) [118]
Notes : A person keeping the AT71 (Noumenal point of view) in front of his mind's eye, never falls a viction to indiscrimination. A body is body and the soul is soul. Such a thinking is भेदज्ञान. What is परम भाव ? It is the truth of all truths. It consists of cognizing the thing as it is and not at all in other form. This is 9TH 414. (6) (118)
