tructibility amidst the changing things liable to destruction
564 पाषाणवृक्षतृणधान्यकटाम्बराद्याः
दग्धा भवन्ति हि मदेव यथा तथैव । देहेन्द्रि यासुमनआदिसमस्तदृश्यं
ज्ञानाग्निदग्धमुपयाति परात्मभावम् ॥ ५६४ ॥ pāşāņavykşatıņadhānyakatāmbarādyāḥ
dagdhā bhavanti hi mrdeva yathā tathaiva! dehendriyāsu-mana-ādi-samastadyśyamn
jñānāgnidagdham upayāti parātmabhāvam ll.
Even as, when burnt, the stone, the tree, the grass, the grain, the mat and the cloth turn into clay, so too, all that is the object of sense-perception like the body, the organs, the breath, the mind etc., burnt by the fire of jñāna, becomes the Paramātman (attains paramātmahood).
565 विलक्षणं यथा ध्वान्तं लीयते भानुतेजसि ।
तथैव सकलं दृश्यं ब्रह्मणि प्रविलीयते ॥ ५६५ ॥ vilakşaņam yathā dhvāntam līyate bhānutejasi tathaiva sakalam drśyam brahmani praviliyate il
As darkness which is distinct (from sunshine) vanishes in the lustre of the sun, similarly all that is perceptible merges in Brahman.
566 घटे नष्टे यथा व्योम व्योमव भवति स्फूटम् ।
तथैवोपाधिविलये ब्रह्मैव ब्रह्मवित् स्वयम् ॥ ५६६ ॥ ghațe naşte yathā vyoma vyomaiva bhavati sphutami tathaivopādhivilaye brahmaiva brahmavit svayam ||
As when the pot is broken, the space in it becomes one with the outer space, so too the Brahmavit becomes Brahman when the upādhi vanishes.

क्षीरं क्षीरे यथा क्षिप्तं तैलं तैले जलं जले। संयुक्तमेकतां याति तथाऽऽत्मन्यात्मविन्मुनिः ॥५६७ ॥
