8r मोक्षकसक्तया विषयेषु रागं
निर्मूल्य संन्यस्य च सर्वकर्म। सछ्रद्धया यः श्रवणादिनिष्ठो
रजःस्वभावं स धुनोति बुद्धः ॥ १८२ ॥ 182. He who by means of one-pointed devotion to Liberation roots out the attachment for sense-objects, renounces all actions, and with faith in the Real Brahman regularly practises hearing,” etc., succeeds in purging the Râjasika nature of the intellect.
['All actions—that are done with selfish motives.
Hearing &c.-i.e., hearing (from the lips of the Guru), reflection and meditation, of the highest Vedantic truth-the identity of the Jiva and Brahman.j
मनोमयो नापि भवेत्परात्मा
ह्याद्यन्तवत्त्वात्परिणामिभावात् । दुःखात्मकत्वाद्विषयत्वहेतो
द्रष्टा हि दृश्यात्मतया न दृष्टः ॥ १८३॥ 183. Neither can the mental sheath be the Supreme Self, because it has a beginning and an end, is subject to modifications, is characterised by pain and suffering, and is an object.' Whereas the subject can never be identified with the objects of knowledge.
