________________ 69 VICHAR VALA. cause what cannot be limited by time and place is infinite, and Brahina is mentioned in the Sruti, as "all-pervading,"—therefore one with Self. Then again, uon-eternal substances are destroyed in time, but Self is eternal, therefore indestructible for which he is not limited by time; and as this holds true with Brahma too, therefore they are one. The gross physical body is subject to Birth, growth, decline and death. How can you remove them from me, And say Atma is Self-illuminated ? Bhagavana, I am subject to birth and death, I do not understand how you can do away with them. To say they are the attributes of the physical body and belong to it does not satisfy me, nor ain I convinced of it. Replies the Guru. Intelligence is non-dual, pure, Tranquil and one. Birth, And death are not possible for Self,s Nor conceit either. Incomparable is he. . Intelligerce is secondless, faultless, unborn, undecaying, and free from the distinctions of similarity and its reverse ; and That art Thou.' (Yourself is that intelligence] how can it be said to take birth and death? Therefore it is unrivailedwithout a second equal to it—and how Can you have a conceit that you are born and subject to death? Therefore by doing away with them you remove the rest of the six modifications and Self appears as subtle. The pupil now asks his professor, if the six modifications naturally belong to the physical body, and are no part of me, why am I happy and miserable? Why do I recognise them in myself, thus to transform him into an enjoyer ?Page Navigation
