bad nothing to eat, so that he was about to die of .exhaustion : when he wakes up through the force of that unseen (Adrishta) to find it was all a dream, and that it has not caused him any injury at all, but that "I am the same king as before," and for his beggary he has neither grief to expreso, nor shew any pleasure ; so a theosophist is perfectly unconcerned for what comes to bis share ; for he knows them all to be as unreal as objects created in a dream.
From the above, the professor draws the following inference and concludes this part of the subjectio
He is neither theist nor atheist, Neither is he one nor the other, Without fightness and weight, Qualities, and blemishes : [says he] “I am Intelligence." Unborn, and invisible, one and non-dual, Uuspeakable and free. Anath! Self has no grounds ( of knowledge)
And this is called knowledge. Says the pupil.
My Self is not to be cognised either by works or by the senses, nor is he a subject of discovery for the internal organ; therefore he is one, and as he is not the subject of any explanatory words, he is therefore unspeakable, and free from all grief and misery. The 'seven grounds of knowledge' are not applicable to him, hence he is without them and he is no subject of coutenti 'n in the way of question and answer.
Having thus Leard his pupil, the Guru praises him as follows:
Praise be tot ee! Pupil of good intellect, Thou hast go, the unrivalled doctrine. Well hast thc , sought for a good professor, Thou hast berpme the Pure Brabma.
