VIVEKACHUDAMANI
द्वगावृर्ति मेघकृतां यथा रखौ
यतो ऽद्वयाऽसङ्गचिदेतदक्षरम् ॥ ५७१ ॥
571. Bondage and Liberation are attributes of the Buddhi which ignorant people falsely superimpose on the Reality, as the covering of the eyes by a cloud is transferred to the sun. For this Immutable Brahman is Knowledge Absolute, the One without a second, and unattached.
अस्तीति प्रत्ययो यश्च यश्च नास्तीति वस्तुनि । बुद्धेरैव गुणावेतौ न तु नित्यस्य वस्तुनः ॥ ५७२ ॥
572. The idea that bondage exists, and the idea that it does not, are, with reference to the Reality, both attributes of the Buddhi merely, and never belong to the Eternal Reality, Brahman.
अतस्तौ मायया क्लृप्तौ बन्धमोक्षौ न चात्मनि । निष्कले तिष्क्रिये शान्ते निरवद्ये निरञ्जने ।
अद्वितीये परे तत्त्वे व्योमवत्कल्पना कुतः ॥ ५७३ ॥
573. Hence this bondage and Liberation are created by Mâyâ, and are not in the Atman. How can there be any idea of limitation with regard to the Supreme Truth, which is without parts, without activity, calm, unimpeachable, taintless, and One without a second, as there can be none with regard to the infinite sky ?
