________________ 247 These three bodies make up the five Koshas or sheaths from the Anandamaya down to the Annamaya. The Atman is beyond them all. ] VIVEKACHUDAMANI मायाक्लृप्तौ बन्धमोक्षौ न स्तः स्वात्मनि वस्तुतः । यथा रजौ निष्क्रियायां सर्पाभासविनिर्गमौ ॥ ५६६ ॥ 569. Bondage and Liberation, which are conjured up by Mâyâ, do not really exist in the Atman, one's Reality, as the appearance and exit of the snake do not abide in the rope, which suffers no change. आवृतेः सदसत्त्वाभ्यां वक्तव्ये बन्धमोक्षणे । नावृतिर्ब्रह्मणः काचिदन्याभावादनावृतम् ।om यद्यस्त्यद्वैतहानिः स्याद्वैतं नो सहते श्रुतिः ॥ ५७० ॥ 570. Bondage and Liberation may be talked of when there is the presence or absence of a covering veil. But there can be no covering veil for the Brahman, which is always uncovered for want of a second thing besides Itself. If there be, the non-duality of Brahman will be contradicted, and the Srutis' can never brook duality. [ 1 Srutis &c.me.g., " One only without a second,' ( Chhandogya VI. ii. 1 ), “ There is no duality in (Katha IV. 11 ), and on so. ] Brahman बन्धञ्च मोक्षश्च मृषैव मूढा बुद्धेर्गुणं वस्तुनि कल्पयन्ति । http://www.ApniHindi.com "
