RÂMA asked: O sage, kindly tell me the form, the nature, the location of the jIva and its relation to the supreme self.

VASISTHA replied: O Râma, it is the infinite consciousness that is known as the jIva when it becomes aware of itself as the object on account of the notion it entertains of itself. It is also known as cit or pure consciousness.

Whatever it thinks of from moment to moment, that it experiences then and there. Such experiencing is the very nature of the jIva, even as motion is the nature of wind.

~sv.1 RÂMA asked: O sage, kindly tell me the form, the nature, the location of the jIva and its relation to the supreme self.

~vlm.1 RÁMA said:-Tell me sir, regarding the nature of the living soul, and the manner of its assuming its different forms; and tell me also its original form, and those which it takes at different times and places.

~sv.2 VASISTHA replied: O Râma, it is the infinite consciousness that is known as the jIva when it becomes aware of itself as the object on account of the notion it entertains of itself. It is also known as cit or pure consciousness.

~sv.3 This jIva is neither a subatomic particle, nor is it gross and physical, nor void nor anything else. The omnipresent pure consciousness is known as jIva when it experiences its own being.

~vlm.3. Its original form is niether that of a minute atom, nor a bulky mass; not an empty vacuity, nor anything having its solidity. It is the pure intellect with consciousness of itself, it is omnipresent and is called the living soul. (It is neither the empty space, nor anything contained therein).

neither the Superatom nor anything that's material,

nor empty void,

~sv.4-5 It is more minute than an atom and larger than the largest. It is all and it is pure consciousness. That is known as the jIva by the wise.

~vlm.4. It is the minutest of the minute, and the hugest of the huge; it is nothing at all, and yet the all, which the learned designate as the living soul. (The preceding one is a negative proposition, and this an affirmative one).

~vlm.5. Know it as identic with the nature, property and quality, of any object whatever that exists any where; It is the light and soul of all existence, and selfsame with all, by its engrossing the knowledge of everything in itself. (Because nothing is existent in reality but in its idea, and the soul having all ideas in itself, is identic with all of them).

~sv.6 Whatever object is experienced here is but its own reflection so experienced by it.

~vlm.6. Whatever this soul thinks in any manner, of anything at any place or time, it immediately becomes the same by its notion thereof; (i.e. Being full with the idea of a thing, it is said to be identified with the same). The collective soul becomes all whatever it thinks or wills, as the soul of God; but the individual soul thinks as it becomes at any place or time~as the soul of man or any particular being.

~vlm.7. The soul possesses the power of thinking, as the air has its force in the winds; but its thoughts are directed by the knowledge of things, (that it derives by means of the senses); and not by the guidance of anyone, as the appearance of ghosts to boys.

~sv.7-8 Whatever it thinks of from moment to moment, that it experiences then and there. Such experiencing is the very nature of the jIva, even as motion is the nature of wind.

~vlm.8. As the existent air appears to be inexistent, without the motion of the wind; so the living soul desisting from its function of thinking, is said to be extinct in the Supreme Deity.

~sv.7-8 Whatever it thinks of from moment to moment, that it experiences then and there. Such experiencing is the very nature of the jIva, even as motion is the nature of wind.

~sv.9 When such experiencing ceases, the jIva becomes Brahman.

~vlm.9. The living soul is misled to think of its individuality as the ego, by the density or dullness of its intellect; and supposes itself to be confined within a limited space of place and time, and with limited powers of action and understanding. (Thus the infinite soul mistakes itself for a finite being, by the dulness of its understanding).

~vlm.10. Being thus circumscribed by time and space, and endowed with substance and properties of action &c, it assumes to itself an unreal form or body, with the belief of its being or sober reality. (Thus the incorporeal soul, is incorporated in a corporeal frame).

~sv.10-11-12 On account of its nature as consciousness, when the jIva entertains the notion of egosense, it builds time, space, motion and substance and functions in and through the body.

~sv.10-11-12 On account of its nature as consciousness, when the jIva entertains the notion of egosense, it builds time, space, motion and substance and functions in and through the body.

~vlm.12. And as one finds in its mind his features and the members of his body, to another form in his dream; so the soul forgets her intellectual entity in her state of ignorance, and becomes of the same nature and form, as she constantly thinks upon. (It forgets its pure spiritual form, and becomes a dull material body of some kind).

~sv.10-11-12 On account of its nature as consciousness, when the jIva entertains the notion of egosense, it builds time, space, motion and substance and functions in and through the body.

~vlm.13. Thinking itself to be thus transformed to a gross and material form, as that of viráj the macrocosm, (who combines the whole material universe in himself); it views itself as bright and spotted, as the disk of the moon with the black spot upon it.

~sv.13-14 It then perceives all these unrealities within itself as if they were real, even as a person dreams of his own death. Forgetting its true nature, it then identifies itself with its own false notions.

~vlm.16. Then the _puruSa_ or first male power known as viráj, manifests, himself in five other forms said to be the members of his person; and these are the sun, the sides, water, air, and the land, which are the objects of five senses said before. He then becomes of endless forms according to the infinity of objects of his knowledge: (i. e. the thoughts in this mind). He is thus manifested in his objective forms, but is quite unknown to us in his subjective or causal form, which is unchangeable and undecaying.

Râma asked-

मुने जीवस्य यत्_रूपम् आकृति ग्रहणम् तथा ।

*sv.1 RÂMA asked: O sage, kindly tell me the form, the nature, the location of the jIva and its relation to the supreme self.

*vlm.1 RÁMA said:.Tell me sir, regarding the nature of the living soul, and the manner of its assuming its different forms; and tell me also its original form, and those which it takes at different times and places.

 

Vasishtha said—

*vlm.2. Vasishtha replied:.The infinite intelligence of God, which fills all space and vacuum; takes of its own will a subtile and minute form, which is intelligible under the name of Intellect; and it is this which is expressed by the term living soul.jIva or zoa.

*sv.2 VASISTHA replied: O Râma, it is the infinite consciousness that is known as the jIva when it becomes aware of itself as the object on account of the notion it entertains of itself. It is also known as cit or pure consciousness.

*sv.3 This jIva is neither a subatomic particle, nor is it gross and physical, nor void nor anything else. The omnipresent pure consciousness is known as jIva when it experiences its own being.

*vlm.3. Its original form is niether that of a minute atom, nor a bulky mass; not an empty vacuity, nor anything having its solidity. It is the pure intellect with consciousness of itself, it is omnipresent and is called the living soul. (It is neither the empty space, nor anything contained therein).

neither the Superatom nor anything that's material,

nor empty void,

the measure of_cit_.Consciousness

that is the self.experient=Self that's everywhere

is called the Living_jIva_.

*sv.4.5 It is more minute than an atom and larger than the largest. It is all and it is pure consciousness. That is known as the jIva by the wise.

*vlm.4. It is the minutest of the minute, and the hugest of the huge; it is nothing at all, and yet the all, which the learned designate as the living soul. (The preceding one is a negative proposition, and this an affirmative one).

*vlm.5. Know it as identic with the nature, property and quality, of any object whatever that exists any where; It is the light and soul of all existence, and selfsame with all, by its engrossing the knowledge of everything in itself. (Because nothing is existent in reality but in its idea, and the soul having all ideas in itself, is identic with all of them).

*sv.6 Whatever object is experienced here is but its own reflection so experienced by it.

*vlm.6. Whatever this soul thinks in any manner, of anything at any place or time, it immediately becomes the same by its notion thereof; (i.e. Being full with the idea of a thing, it is said to be identified with the same). The collective soul becomes all whatever it thinks or wills, as the soul of God; but the individual soul thinks as it becomes at any place or time.as the soul of man or any particular being.

*vlm.7. The soul possesses the power of thinking, as the air has its force in the winds; but its thoughts are directed by the knowledge of things, (that it derives by means of the senses); and not by the guidance of anyone, as the appearance of ghosts to boys.

*sv.7.8 Whatever it thinks of from moment to moment, that it experiences then and there. Such experiencing is the very nature of the jIva, even as motion is the nature of wind.

*vlm.8. As the existent air appears to be inexistent, without the motion of the wind; so the living soul desisting from its function of thinking, is said to be extinct in the Supreme Deity.

*sv.7.8 Whatever it thinks of from moment to moment, that it experiences then and there. Such experiencing is the very nature of the jIva, even as motion is the nature of wind.

*sv.9 When such experiencing ceases, the jIva becomes Brahman.

*vlm.9. The living soul is misled to think of its individuality as the ego, by the density or dullness of its intellect; and supposes itself to be confined within a limited space of place and time, and with limited powers of action and understanding. (Thus the infinite soul mistakes itself for a finite being, by the dulness of its understanding).

*vlm.10. Being thus circumscribed by time and space, and endowed with substance and properties of action &c, it assumes to itself an unreal form or body, with the belief of its being or sober reality. (Thus the incorporeal soul, is incorporated in a corporeal frame).

*sv.10.11.12 On account of its nature as consciousness, when the jIva entertains the notion of egosense, it builds time, space, motion and substance and functions in and through the body.

*sv.10.11.12 On account of its nature as consciousness, when the jIva entertains the notion of egosense, it builds time, space, motion and substance and functions in and through the body.

*vlm.12. And as one finds in its mind his features and the members of his body, to another form in his dream; so the soul forgets her intellectual entity in her state of ignorance, and becomes of the same nature and form, as she constantly thinks upon. (It forgets its pure spiritual form, and becomes a dull material body of some kind).

*sv.10.11.12 On account of its nature as consciousness, when the jIva entertains the notion of egosense, it builds time, space, motion and substance and functions in and through the body.

*vlm.13. Thinking itself to be thus transformed to a gross and material form, as that of viráj the macrocosm, (who combines the whole material universe in himself); it views itself as bright and spotted, as the disk of the moon with the black spot upon it.

*sv.13.14 It then perceives all these unrealities within itself as if they were real, even as a person dreams of his own death. Forgetting its true nature, it then identifies itself with its own false notions.

Then the_puruSa_or first male power known as viráj, manifests, himself in five other forms said to be the members of his person; and these are the sun, the sides, water, air, and the land, which are the objects of five senses said before. He then becomes of endless forms according to the infinity of objects of his knowledge: (i. e. the thoughts in this mind). He is thus manifested in his objective forms, but is quite unknown to us in his subjective or causal form, which is unchangeable and undecaying.

RAAMA asked—

 

मुने जीवस्य यत् रूपम् आकृति ग्रहणम् तथा ।

*sv.1 RAAMA asked: O sage, kindly tell me the form, the nature, the location of the jIva and its relation to the supreme self.

*vlm.1 RÁMA said:.Tell me sir, regarding the nature of the living soul, and the manner of its assuming its different forms; and tell me also its original form, and those which it takes at different times and places.

 

VASISHTHA said—

*vlm.2. Vasishtha replied:.The infinite intelligence of God, which fills all space and vacuum; takes of its own will a subtile and minute form, which is intelligible under the name of Intellect; and it is this which is expressed by the term living soul.jIva or zoa.

*sv.2 VASISTHA replied: O Raama, it is the infinite consciousness that is known as the jIva when it becomes aware of itself as the object on account of the notion it entertains of itself. It is also known as cit or pure consciousness.

स्व.अनुभूति.आत्म the self.experient=Self

सर्वगम् all.going

जीव उच्यते is called the Living jIva .

*sv.3 This jIva is neither a subatomic particle, nor is it gross and physical, nor void nor anything else. The omnipresent pure consciousness is known as jIva when it experiences its own being.

*vlm.3. Its original form is niether that of a minute atom, nor a bulky mass; not an empty vacuity, nor anything having its solidity. It is the pure intellect with consciousness of itself, it is omnipresent and is called the living soul. (It is neither the empty space, nor anything contained therein).

neither the Superatom nor anything that's material,

nor empty void,

the measure of cit .Consciousness

that is the self.experient=Self that's everywhere

is called the Living jIva .

*sv.4.5 It is more minute than an atom and larger than the largest. It is all and it is pure consciousness. That is known as the jIva by the wise.

*vlm.4. It is the minutest of the minute, and the hugest of the huge; it is nothing at all, and yet the all, which the learned designate as the living soul. (The preceding one is a negative proposition, and this an affirmative one).

*vlm.5. Know it as identic with the nature, property and quality, of any object whatever that exists any where; It is the light and soul of all existence, and selfsame with all, by its engrossing the knowledge of everything in itself. (Because nothing is existent in reality but in its idea, and the soul having all ideas in itself, is identic with all of them).

*sv.6 Whatever object is experienced here is but its own reflection so experienced by it.

*vlm.6. Whatever this soul thinks in any manner, of anything at any place or time, it immediately becomes the same by its notion thereof; (i.e. Being full with the idea of a thing, it is said to be identified with the same). The collective soul becomes all whatever it thinks or wills, as the soul of God; but the individual soul thinks as it becomes at any place or time.as the soul of man or any particular being.

*vlm.7. The soul possesses the power of thinking, as the air has its force in the winds; but its thoughts are directed by the knowledge of things, (that it derives by means of the senses); and not by the guidance of anyone, as the appearance of ghosts to boys.

*sv.7.8 Whatever it thinks of from moment to moment, that it experiences then and there. Such experiencing is the very nature of the jIva, even as motion is the nature of wind.

 

यथा एव अस्पन्दनात् वातः सन् न इव एत्य सदात्मताम् ।

.

*vlm.8. As the existent air appears to be inexistent, without the motion of the wind; so the living soul desisting from its function of thinking, is said to be extinct in the Supreme Deity.

*sv.7.8 Whatever it thinks of from moment to moment, that it experiences then and there. Such experiencing is the very nature of the jIva, even as motion is the nature of wind.

*sv.9 When such experiencing ceases, the jIva becomes Brahman.

*vlm.9. The living soul is misled to think of its individuality as the ego, by the density or dullness of its intellect; and supposes itself to be confined within a limited space of place and time, and with limited powers of action and understanding. (Thus the infinite soul mistakes itself for a finite being, by the dulness of its understanding).

*vlm.10. Being thus circumscribed by time and space, and endowed with substance and properties of action &c, it assumes to itself an unreal form or body, with the belief of its being or sober reality. (Thus the incorporeal soul, is incorporated in a corporeal frame).

*sv.10.11.12 On account of its nature as consciousness, when the jIva entertains the notion of egosense, it builds time, space, motion and substance and functions in and through the body.

*vlm.11. It then thinks itself to be enclosed in an ideal atom; as one sees himself in his dream to be involved in his unreal death.

*sv.10.11.12 On account of its nature as consciousness, when the jIva entertains the notion of egosense, it builds time, space, motion and substance and functions in and through the body.

*vlm.12. And as one finds in its mind his features and the members of his body, to another form in his dream; so the soul forgets her intellectual entity in her state of ignorance, and becomes of the same nature and form, as she constantly thinks upon. (It forgets its pure spiritual form, and becomes a dull material body of some kind).

*sv.10.11.12 On account of its nature as consciousness, when the jIva entertains the notion of egosense, it builds time, space, motion and substance and functions in and through the body.

*vlm.13. Thinking itself to be thus transformed to a gross and material form, as that of viráj the macrocosm, (who combines the whole material universe in himself); it views itself as bright and spotted, as the disk of the moon with the black spot upon it.

*sv.13.14 It then perceives all these unrealities within itself as if they were real, even as a person dreams of his own death. Forgetting its true nature, it then identifies itself with its own false notions.

*vlm.16. Then the puruSa or first male power known as viráj, manifests, himself in five other forms said to be the members of his person; and these are the sun, the sides, water, air, and the land, which are the objects of five senses said before. He then becomes of endless forms according to the infinity of objects of his knowledge: (i. e. the thoughts in this mind). He is thus manifested in his objective forms, but is quite unknown to us in his subjective or causal form, which is unchangeable and undecaying.

*sv.1 R*AA*MA asked: O sage, kindly tell me the form, the nature, the

location of the jIva and its relation to the supreme self.

*vlm.1 RÁMA said:.Tell me sir, regarding the nature of the living soul, and
the manner of its assuming its different forms; and tell me also its
original form, and those which it takes at different times and places.

*VASISHTHA said—*

*vlm.2. Vasishtha replied:.The infinite intelligence of God, which fills
all space and vacuum; takes of its own will a subtile and minute form,
which is intelligible under the name of Intellect; and it is this which is
expressed by the term living soul.jIva or zoa.

*sv.2 VASISTHA replied: O R*aa*ma, it is the infinite consciousness that is

known as the jIva when it becomes aware of itself as the object on account
of the notion it entertains of itself. It is also known as cit or pure
consciousness.

*sv.3 This jIva is neither a subatomic particle, nor is it gross and
physical, nor void nor anything else. The omnipresent pure consciousness is
known as jIva when it experiences its own being.

*vlm.3. Its original form is niether that of a minute atom, nor a bulky
mass; not an empty vacuity, nor anything having its solidity. It is the
pure intellect with consciousness of itself, it is omnipresent and is
called the living soul. (It is neither the empty space, nor anything
contained therein).

*nor empty void,*

*sv.4.5 It is more minute than an atom and larger than the largest. It is
all and it is pure consciousness. That is known as the jIva by the wise.

*vlm.4. It is the minutest of the minute, and the hugest of the huge; it is
nothing at all, and yet the all, which the learned designate as the living
soul. (The preceding one is a negative proposition, and this an affirmative
one).

*vlm.5. Know it as identic with the nature, property and quality, of any
object whatever that exists any where; It is the light and soul of all
existence, and selfsame with all, by its engrossing the knowledge of
everything in itself. (Because nothing is existent in reality but in its
idea, and the soul having all ideas in itself, is identic with all of
them).

*sv.6 Whatever object is experienced here is but its own reflection so
experienced by it.

*vlm.6. Whatever this soul thinks in any manner, of anything at any place
or time, it immediately becomes the same by its notion thereof; (i.e. Being
full with the idea of a thing, it is said to be identified with the same).
The collective soul becomes all whatever it thinks or wills, as the soul of
God; but the individual soul thinks as it becomes at any place or time.as
the soul of man or any particular being. Gloss).

*vlm.7. The soul possesses the power of thinking, as the air has its force
in the winds; but its thoughts are directed by the knowledge of things,
(that it derives by means of the senses); and not by the guidance of
anyone, as the appearance of ghosts to boys.

*sv.7.8 Whatever it thinks of from moment to moment, that it experiences
then and there. Such experiencing is the very nature of the jIva, even as
motion is the nature of wind.

*vlm.8. As the existent air appears to be inexistent, without the motion of
the wind; so the living soul desisting from its function of thinking, is
said to be extinct in the Supreme Deity.

*sv.7.8 Whatever it thinks of from moment to moment, that it experiences
then and there. Such experiencing is the very nature of the jIva, even as
motion is the nature of wind.

*sv.9 When such experiencing ceases, the jIva becomes Brahman.

*vlm.9. The living soul is misled to think of its individuality as the ego,
by the density or dullness of its intellect; and supposes itself to be
confined within a limited space of place and time, and with limited powers
of action and understanding. (Thus the infinite soul mistakes itself for a
finite being, by the dulness of its understanding).

*vlm.10. Being thus circumscribed by time and space, and endowed with
substance and properties of action &c, it assumes to itself an unreal form
or body, with the belief of its being or sober reality. (Thus the
incorporeal soul, is incorporated in a corporeal frame).

*sv.10.11.12 On account of its nature as consciousness, when the jIva
entertains the notion of egosense, it builds time, space, motion and
substance and functions in and through the body.

*vlm.11. It then thinks itself to be enclosed in an ideal atom; as one sees
himself in his dream to be involved in his unreal death.

*sv.10.11.12 On account of its nature as consciousness, when the jIva
entertains the notion of egosense, it builds time, space, motion and
substance and functions in and through the body.

*vlm.12. And as one finds in its mind his features and the members of his
body, to another form in his dream; so the soul forgets her intellectual
entity in her state of ignorance, and becomes of the same nature and form,
as she constantly thinks upon. (It forgets its pure spiritual form, and
becomes a dull material body of some kind).

*sv.10.11.12 On account of its nature as consciousness, when the jIva
entertains the notion of egosense, it builds time, space, motion and
substance and functions in and through the body.

form, as that of viráj the macrocosm, (who combines the whole material
universe in himself); it views itself as bright and spotted, as the disk of
the moon with the black spot upon it.

*sv.13.14 It then perceives all these unrealities within itself as if they
were real, even as a person dreams of his own death. Forgetting its true
nature, it then identifies itself with its own false notions.

experiences their function as if such experience were its own.

sensation for their inlets, by which the soul perceives the sensation of
their respective objects.

himself in five other forms said to be the members of his person; and these
are the sun, the sides, water, air, and the land, which are the objects of
five senses said before. He then becomes of endless forms according to the
infinity of objects of his knowledge: (i. e. the thoughts in this mind). He
is thus manifested in his objective forms, but is quite unknown to us in
his subjective or causal form, which is unchangeable and undecaying.
