________________ 90 | Shree Atma Siddhi Shastra ૧. શંકા - શિષ્ય ઉવાચ Shankaa - Shishya Uvaach The Disciple's Statement of the First Doubt (આત્માના હોવાપણારૂપ પ્રથમ સ્થાનકની શિષ્ય શંકા કહે છે:-) Aatmaanaa hovaapanaaroop pratham sthaanaknee shishya shankaa kahe chhe: The disciple states a doubt about the first affirmation, namely the existence of the soul: નથી દૃષ્ટિમાં આવતો, નથી જણાતું રૂપ; બીજો પણ અનુભવ નહીં, તેથી ન જીવસ્વરૂપ. ૪૫ Nathee drashtimaan aavato, nathee janaatun roop; Beejo pan anubhav naheen, tethee na jeevasvaroop. It is not visible, nor do we recognise its form. Nor have we had any other experience of it, so there is no such thing as atma. (45) અથવા દેહ જ આતમા, અથવા ઇન્દ્રિય પ્રાણ; મિથ્યા જુદો માનવો, નહીં જુદું એંધાણ. ૪૬ Athavaa deha ja aatamaa, athavaa indriya praan; Mithyaa judo maanavo, naheen judun endhaan. Otherwise the atma is the body itself or even the senses or breath. It is a fallacy to believe it separate, as we can see no differentiating characteristic. (46) વળી જો આત્મા હોય તો, જણાય તે નહિ કેમ ? જણાય જો તે હોય તો, ઘટ પટ આદિ જેમ. ૪૭ Valee jo aatmaa hoy to, janaay te nahi kem? Janaay jo te hoy to, ghat pat aadi jem. Again, if the atma does exist, then why can we not know it? If it exists we ought to be able to know it as we do physical objects. (47)
