I am the Soul
eternity in various forms of life and yet does not find it like a bondage?
ग्रहे अरूपी रूपीने, एह अचरजनी वात;
sia da JU TE, anat fra Hagia ...
The Gurudev consoles the disciple. Child! The atma that is not visible to the eyes is itself the one who sees and knows all. Further, the ultimate realisation that I am which is left over after gradually eliminating all external feelings; the sensation of the senses may well not be present, but the experience of the soul is eternally present - that itself is the true form of the jiva. And even after knowing it through mind, intellect and senses, the only way to discover it is through self experience. Therefore, the doubt that has arisen in your mind that - z silatata - is not proper at all.
The disciple was satisfied. More clarification was offered for the other doubts which he raised after bowing his head at the feet of the Gurudev. That will follow.
