VICHAR MALA,
Self is perfect, non-dual, indestructible, Devoid of action, and infinite. To imagine phenomena in hiin
Is unreal, i. e, non-eternal.
Atma is all-pervading, secondless, indestructible, devoid of action, and infinite; for explaining him, the objective world with its diversified and multiform objects are in the Sruti unnecessarily attributted to Self; which is unreal and indesoribable and therefore synonymous. To regard in this way all phenomena removes all doubts.. Because it is possible to speak of the evolution of this indescribable universe ; and that does not tell against the theory of its origin. Similarly, from a knor. ledge of its site, it is possible to cause its destruction, and that also does not tell against the view which maintains it : and an indescribable world can easily have a cause (Iswar) to admit which is not therefore contradictory.
As bubble, foam and wave are not distinct from water, So is this material expanse non-distinct from Pure and
unassociated (Intelligence). As bubble, foam or froth and waves are all 80 many formas of water and not distinct from it, so is the world not a separata entity existing outside of, or independently of Self, who is pure unassociated Intelligence and substrate or its site. This is the rule. It may be contended, if from its site, superimposition or projection of another substance on it, is not a distinct entity, independently existing ; how ja the physical body with its members which are superimposed on Self cap. able of progression and doing a variety of acts ?
The reply is
In that perfect Self the attribution of phenomena Resembles gold and its modification coin etc., He is secondless, pure, unrivalled, unborn, The attributiou of name is unimportaut.
