Just as a piece of rope is imagined to be a
snake and an oyster to be a piece of silver, so is the Atman determined to be
the body by an ignorant person
2.
Just as the stump of a tree is mistaken for a
human figure and a mirage for water, so is the
Atman determined to be the body by an ignorant person
3.
The illusion of samsara is due solely to an
illusory notion and is not absolute reality.
4.
Atman is verily one and without parts, whereas
the body consists of many parts; and yet the people see these two as one! What
else can be called ignorance but this?
5.
Action cannot destroy ignorance, for it is not
in conflict with ignorance. Knowledge alone destroys ignorance as light
destroys darkness.
