Lord Ishvara said—

चिनोत्य् अलीकम् एव.एवम् "स.दुःखा.अस्मि" .इति भावनात् ।

cinoti alIkam eva.evam "sa-du:khA_ asmi" .iti bhAvanAt |

cit-svapna-kSIbatA-moha-patitA sambhrame yathA ||1||

it's like this

a young girl feels bored

because of that her Consciousness becomes

a dream,

or drunkenness,

or some exciting fantasy

#alIka – "un.likeable" - unpleasing, disagreeable (as a serpent) AV. v, 13, 5; untrue, false, pretended mBh. &c. •• #alIkam - anything displeasing R.ii,52,25

*cinoti alIkam eva evam - she conceives the imaginary, thus - "sa-du:khA asmi" iti - "I am miserable" = bhAvanAt - from that feeling = cit-svapna-kSIbatA-moha-patitA - fallen into *chit-dreaming, drunkenness, or delusion = sambhrame yathA - as in excitation/fantasy.

altho not-dead, she thinks "I'm dead!", the muddle-minded bride; = yathA roditi a-naSTA eva - as she complains, though not at all destroyed, = "naSTA asmi" iti - "I'm ruined!" = tathA eva cit - such is also chit.Consciousness — [this is a fairly obvious reference to the wedding night; VLm has chosen to overlook the humor] —

consciousness falsely imagines it is miserable or limited.

or a mistaken-minded bride,

although not dead, she thinks "I'm dead!"

and just as she complains, though not

at all destroyed, "I'm ruined!"—so

also does chit.Consciousness.

~vlm.2. Though immortal yet it is deceived to believe itself as mortal, by its infatuated understanding; as a sick man weeps to think himself dead when he is still alive.

~sv.2 Just as one who is not dead wails aloud "Alas, I am dead", and when she is not lost she weeps "Alas, I am lost", on account of perverse understanding, even so...

* a-mRtA api "mRtA asmi" iti - though not-dead, she thinks "I'm dead!" = viparyasta-matir vadhU: - the mistaken-minded bride; = yathA roditi a-naSTA eva - as she complains, though not at all destroyed, = "naSTA asmi" iti - "I'm ruined!" = tathA eva cit - such is also chit.Consciousness — [this is a fairly obvious reference to the wedding night; VLm has chosen to overlook the humor] —

yathA jagat pazyati_idam tathA_ahamtA-bhramAt citi ||3||

without a cause

mistaken thought, convinced of its delusion, sees

this world

thus

thru the "I"-delusion arising in Consciousness

चित्तम् हि कारणम् त्व् .अस्या: संसार-अनुभवे चिते: ।

न च तत्-कारणम् किंचित् चित्त्व-अन्यत्व=अति.असंभवात् ॥४॥

na ca tat-kAraNam kimcit cittva-anyatva=ati.asambhavAt ||04||

Affective mind, chitta—

this

is the cause of This, the saMsAra experience;

but it is not

the cause of That chit.Consciousness,

for That Other does not at.all become

~sv.4 It is the mind alone that is the root-cause of experiencing the world as if it were real; but it cannot be truly considered such a cause since there can be no mind other than pure consciousness.

~vlm.4. The mind alone is said to be the cause of the perception of the exterior world in the intellect; but the mind can be no such cause of it, from the impossibility of its, seperate existence independent of the intellect.

एवम् हि कारण-अ.भावाच् चेत्यस्य.असम्भवाद् इति ।

न.असौ चित्तम् तत: चेत्यम् यत्नतश् चेत्यते यया ॥०५॥

एवम् हि कारण-अ.भावाच् चेत्यस्य.असम्भवाद् इति ।

evam hi kAraNa-a.bhAvAt_ cetyasya_ a.sambhavAt_ iti |

न.असौ चित्तम् तत: चेत्यम् यत्नतश् चेत्यते यया ॥०५॥

na_ asau cittam tata: cetyam yatnata:_ cetyate yayA ||05||

and thus because of the absence

of cause, what is conceivable does not become.

what is only chitta.Affection is not —

conceivable —

because of the effort by which it conceives —

evam hi kAraNa-abhAvAt - and thus because of the absence of cause = cetyasya a-sambhavAt iti - there is unBecoming of the cetya.Conceivable = na_asau cittam tataz - and therefore this *chitta is not = cetyam - conceivable = yatna.tas cetyate yayA - because of the effort by which it conceives.

~sv.5 Thus, if it is realised that the perceiving mind itself is unreal, then it is clear that the perceived world is unreal too.

~vlm.5. Thus there being no causality of the mind, there cannot be its cousations of the thinkable world also. Therefore the intellect only is the cause of thought, and neither the mind nor the thinkable world: (which produces or impresses the thought). The gloss says that, "the intellect whereby the mind thinks, is not the mind nor its dependant or the objective thinkable world; but it is the pure subjective self-same intellect only."

न दृश्य-दर्शन-द्रष्टृ=रूपं तैलमिवोपले ।

न कर्तृकर्मकरणं दृशीन्दाविव कृष्णता ॥६॥

na dRzya.darzana-draSTR=rUpam tailam iva_upale | na kartR-karma-karaNam dRzIndAv iva kRSNatA ||06||

there is no sight, no seeing, no seer, no form;

no sesame inside the grinding-stone.

There is no doer, no doing, no cause;

nor darkness in a double moon.

न दृश्य-दर्शन-द्रष्टृ-रूपं - There is no percept-perception-perceiver-form. =

तैल-म् इव उपले - It's like oil in the millstone. =

न कर्तृ-कर्म-करण-ं - There's no doer-karma-cause. =

दृशि इन्दौ इव कृष्णता - It's like darkness in a double moon. -6-

#karaNa - effecting #kAraNa - cause

~vlm.6. There is no spectacle, spectator (or sight of) of anything anywhere, unless it be a delusion, as that which appears oiliness in a stone; and there is no matter, making or work of any kind; unless it be a mistake like that of blackness in the moon; (The oily glossiness of the marble and the shade in the moon, are no other but the inherent properties of those things).

~sv.6-13 Even as there is no oil in a rock, in pure consciousness the diversity of sight, seer and scene, or of doer, act and action, or of knower, knowledge and known does not exist. Similarly, the distinction between 'I' and 'you' is imaginary. The distinction between the one and the many is verbal. All these do not exist at all even as darkness does not exist in the sun. Opposites like substantiality and unsubstantiality, void and non-void are mere concepts. On enquiry, all these disappear and only the unmodified pure consciousness remains. Consciousness does not truly undergo any modification nor does it become impure. The impurity itself is imaginary; imagination is the impurity. When this is realised, the imagination is abandoned and impurity ceases. However, even in those who have realised this, the impurity arises unless the imagination is firmly rejected.

~AB. ... dRzi citi ||

न मातृ-मेय-मानानि नभसि .इव नव-अङ्कुर: ।

न चिच्-चेतन-चेत्य-आदि नन्दने खदिरो यथा ॥७॥

na mAtR-meya-mAnAni nabhasi_iva nava-aGkura: | na cic-cetana-cetya-Adi nandane khadiro_ yathA ||07||

there is no measurer, nothing

to measure, and no measurement,

as in the sky no sprouting shoot;

no Consciousness with conceptions,

conceivables, et cetera,

as in the thorn-bush no delight …

na mAtR-meya=mAnAni - No measurer-measurable=measurings = nabhasi iva nava-aGkura: - like a green shoot in the sky = na cic-cetana=cetya-Adi - no Consciousness-conceiving=conceivables &c. = nandane khadira: yathA - as a thorn tree in the garden.

~vlm.7. The terms measure, measurer, and measerable are as negative in nature, as the privation of forest plants in the sky; and the words intellect, intellection and intelligible are as meaningless in themselves, as the absence of thorns and thistles in the garden of Paradise.

~sv.6-13 Even as there is no oil in a rock, in pure consciousness the diversity of sight, seer and scene, or of doer, act and action, or of knower, knowledge and known does not exist.

न अहम्त्व-त्वंत्व-तत्त्वादि पर्वतत्वम् इव अम्बरे ।

सदेहत्वान्यदेहत्वे शङ्खत्वमिव कज्जले ॥८॥

na ahamtva-tvamtva-tattvAdi parvatatvam iva ambare | sadehatvAnyadehatve zaGkhatvamiva kajjale ||08||

…no I-ness, you-ness, that-ness, or

the like, like mountain-ness within

the sky; and no embodiment

within the bodiless, as no

conch-whiteness in a sooty lamp;…

na aham-tva+tvam-tva+tat-tva=Adi - …No I-you-ness-ness, you-that-&c —

parvata-tvam iva ambare - like mountain-ness in the sky —

sadeha-tvAny a-dehatve - embodiment in the bodiless —

zaGkha-tvam iva kajjale - like conch-ness [whiteness] in kohl [collyrium, lampblack] — or a conch colored black like kohl —

~vlm.8. The personalities of egoism, tuism and illism [sic]; are as false as mountains in the firmament; and the difference of persons (as this is my body and that another's), is as untrue as to find whiteness in ink.

~sv.6-13 ... Similarly, the distinction between 'I' and 'you' is imaginary. The distinction between the one and the many is verbal. All these do not exist at all even as darkness does not exist in the sun. ....

नानाऽनाना न चाप्यन्तरणाविव सुमेरव: ।

न च शब्दार्थ-शब्द-श्रीर्महोषर-लता यथा ॥९॥

nAnA_a.nAnA na ca_api_anta:_ aNAu_ iva sumerava: |

na ca zabda-artha=zabda-zrI:_ mahoSara-latA yathA ||9||

not variant, invariant, nor in.between

like many Mount.sumerus in an aNu.Bit

nor is there a single meaning for it in multiplicitous words

its like a vine in the Great Desert

…

* nAnA: a.nAnA: na ca_api antar - And neither are the various invarious within - aNau iva sumerava: - like many sumeru.s in an atom - na ca zabdArtha-zabdazrIr - nor a single meaning in the multiplicity of words - mahoSara-latA yathA - like a vine in the Great Desert.

~vlm.9 The Divine Spirit is neither the same nor different in all bodies because it is as impossible for the Universal Soul to be confined in anybody as it is impracticable for mount meru to be contained in an atom of dust. It is impossible to express the Divine Spirit using words and their meanings, just as sandy soil is incapable of growing tender herbs.

नेति नेति न चैवार्क-मण्डले रजनी यथा । न वस्तुतावस्तुते च तुषारे तु यथोष्णता ॥१०॥

neti neti na caiva arka-maNDale rajanI yathA | na vastuta-avastute ca tuSAre tu yathA uSNatA ||10||

On enquiry, all these disappear and only the unmodified pure consciousness remains. Consciousness does not truly undergo any modification nor does it become impure...

na iti na iti - "Not-so, not-so" = na ca eva - and so it is not = arka-maNDale rajanI yathA - like the moon in the light/sphere of the sun = na vastutA-avastute ca - neither substantial nor insubstantial - tuSAre tu yathA uSNatA - like snowflakes in the heat.

~vlm.10. The dictum netineti.--It is neither this nor any other, is as untrue as the belief of the darkness of night subsisting in company with the day light: and substantiality and unsubstantially are both as wanting in the supreme spirit, as heat is wanting in ice.

~sv.6-13 .... All these do not exist at all even as darkness does not exist in the sun. Opposites like substantiality and unsubstantiality, void and non-void are mere concepts.

zUnyatA-a.zUnyatA nAma mahatI kha_ iva_a-khatA ||11||

na zUnyatA-azUnyate vA – a state that's neither empty nor unemptiness =

zilA-koza iva druma: - is like a tree within a stone =

zUnyatA-azUnyatA nAma – emptiness~unemptiness =

mahatI khe - in the great kha*sky =

iva a-kha-tA - as.if without sky.ness.

~vlm.11. It is as wrong to call it either as empty or solid, as it is to say a tree growing in the womb of a stone to call it either the one or the other; is to have it for the infinite vacuum or the full plenum.

~sv.6-13 Even as there is no oil in a rock, in pure consciousness the diversity of sight, seer and scene, or of doer, act and action, or of knower, knowledge and known does not exist.

???VA - there is no emptiness or fullness, like there is no tree in a stone.
emptiness and non-emptiness, like space and grossness are names.
na zUnyatAzUnyate vA zilAkoza iva drumaH |
zUnyatAzUnyatA nAma mahatI kha ivAkhatA || 11
***VA - there is no emptiness or fullness, like there is no tree in a stone.
emptiness and non-emptiness, like space and grossness are names.

~AS. First, note that nAma has nothing to do with a name here, it is used as an adverb which is given to mean: indeed, certainly, forsooth, really, of course, even, probably, possibly, perhaps, agreed, granted, granting
jd. and in some dix "namely"; if you accuse me of a crime I may ask "Namely what?"

~AS. There is no emptyness in something nonempty, as there is no tree inside a stone enclosure.
Thus, there is (only) emptyness in space; indeed, the perceivable non emptyness (perception) in like a property of non-space.
It really has no place to be there! Thus, if something is perceived to be part of the space, it is but an illusion.

~vlm.12. It is the sole unity that remains in its state of pure transparency forever; and being unborn from the thought or mind of any body, it is not subject to the misrepresentation of of any body. (The gloss says. Not being born from the mind of Brahma as this creation, the Intellect is free from the imperfections of both).

~sv.6-13 .... Consciousness does not truly undergo any modification nor does it become impure. The impurity itself is imaginary; imagination is the impurity. When this is realised, the imagination is abandoned and impurity ceases. However, even in those who have realised this, the impurity arises unless the imagination is firmly rejected.

VA - totally, in all notions there is only pureness (of Cit).
when no delusion of the mind arises, it is attained.

~vlm.13. It is however imputed with many faults and failings, in the thoughts and opinions of men; but all these imputations and false attributes, vanish before one knowing its true nature,

???VA - Useless saMsara exists only in perception (imagination), when
it is known, useless saMsara disappears with non-existnece of
perception (imagination)
~AS: This (unhappiness in the world) is not born out of a faulty feeling from the mind of brahmA (kasya cit-doSAt) .
This naturally stays only due to universal thoughts (of ego) (sarva.bhAvanA-mAtreNa) (and thus) even in a knowledgeable one it (the unhappiness in the world) subsides only by the opposite thought (abhAvanA).

~vlm.15. It is in the power of every body to get rid of his thoughts, but very difficult to get the odject of his thought; How then is it possible for one to have, what it is impracticable for him to try for? (i.e. The full object of desire).

~sv.16 This infinite consciousness, which is unmodified and non-dual, can be realised by one in the single self-luminous inner light.

~vlm.16. The one sole and immutable Intellect which pervades all nature, is the supreme one and without an equal, and is more pellucid than the translucent light of a lamp and all other lights.

~sv.19 In fact, it is non-moving consciousness which exists as if witness to all, even as light shines but shining is not its action.

~vlm.19. It remains as the all witnessing spirit, without any oscilation or motion of its own to any place; and enligtens all objects, without flickering or doing any action by itself.

When the mind thinks of itself of its difference (from the intellect), and the existence of the unrealities (in nature), it gets the sense of its egoism, and then it perishes though it originally imperishable in its nature. (The sruti tasya bhayam, bhavati, it then fears to die" because the personal soul is subject to death, and not the impersonal or universal soul which never dies. So the phrase: "Forget yourself and you'll never fear to die").

In such statements as these, the word ‘Atman’ is used several times, with different connotations. The Self is the friend of the self. The Self is the enemy of the self. How can the friend be also the enemy? The Self can be the friend; the Self can be the enemy. But whose friend and whose enemy? Of the Self itself. The Self is the friend of the self, and the Self is the enemy of the self under different circumstances." - Krishnananda. •‑• jd: we are all multiple schizophrenics.

when the wind enters the forest,

thereby it comes to be shaken

as for manas.Mind, when it is subsumed in Space, the prANa.Airs do not stir

~vlm.45. The mind being employed with its desires, perturbs the vital breath and body as a tempest shakes the forest; but being confined in the cavity o£ the heart, it stops their motion as when the winds are confined in the upper skies. (The mind being fixed to some particular object of meditation, stops the course of life and gives longivity to man).

#ghUrN #parighUrN - P. -घूर्णति , to whirl about , flutter , tremble mBh.

#vep #parivep - -वेपते , to tremble R.

*jd.45 yat prayAti vanam - What enters the forest, = yAtyA tat_eva parighUrNate - by whatever has come it is shaken. = manasya AkAza-samlIne - As for the mind, when it is subsumed in Space, = na prANa: parivepati - the prANa.Airs do not stir.

na rUpam iva rAjate - it does not shine as Form —

prANe prazAnte maruti - in the prANa, the quieted air —

manas antar na manAg api - within the mind not at all —

~vlm.46. Again the confinement of the vital breath in the vacuity of the heart, stops the course of the mind (thoughts); as the hiding of a light, removes the sight of the objects from view. (No thought without breathing, and no sight without light).

where the wind blows, the dust flies

when the wind calms, the dust is still

so likewise as the prANa.Air is found to be, thus Mind abides

~vlm.47. As the dusts cease to fly after the winds are over; so the mind (thought) ceases to move, when the breath is pent up in the heart.

* vAtyAyAm upazAntAyAm - When the wind is still, = rajas na parikampate - the dust/*rajas does not vibrate = yatra prANo marud yAti - where the prANa wind goes = manas tatraiva tiSThati - there also the Mind is still.

* manas.Mind is the Hard.Drive, buddhi.Intellect is the Operating.System, chitta.Affection is the ROM (the interaction of Intellect & Affection is the RAM, the Random.Access.Memory to be stored as Read.Only.Memory). prANa is the electronic stream.

wherever a chariot goes, there too goes the charioteer

likewise

a stone shot from a sling

takes its destruction elsewhere;

where there's a flower, there's perfume;

where there is fire, there's warming

~vlm.49. As the stone flung from a fling is lost forever, so the thoughts of the mind are dispersed in the air, unless they are fixed upon some object. The thoughts are accompaniments of the mind and vitality, as fragrance is attendant on flowers and heat upon fire.

*AS. The second line describes the activities of the prANa in the body explaining how it carries the mind. Awareness (saMvitti) arises from the movement of the prANa (pavana-spanda) as it touches the nerves (nADI). The word nADI has a more extensive meaning of all channels in the body.

#chavi –f- skin, colour (of the skin); splendor; a ray of light.

~vlm.p.50 Wherever there is vital breath breathing, there is the principle of the mind with its trains of thoughts, just as whenever the moon appears it is accompanied by its beams. Our consciousness is the result of the vibrations of vital air, like our perception of phenomena. This air sustains the body by supplying juice from food to all the nerves and arteries.

~sv.40-53 Because prana is the vehicle for the mind, where the prana takes it the mind goes. But when the mind is merged in the spiritual heart, prana does not move. And if the prana does not move, the mind attains a quiescent state. Where the prana goes the mind follows it, even as the rider goes where the vehicle goes.

~vlm.51. The mind and consciousness both belong to the body, the one residing in the hollow of the vital air, and the other is as clear as the intellect, and resides alike in all gross and subtile bodies, like the all pervading and transparent vacuum.

~AS. The spread of awareness (saMvittisphAratA) is the chitta, which is called mind when residing in the prANa enclosure.The awareness (saMvit) is everywhere, clear like space and in both inert and non inert. One comment of the samAsa (compound) vyomasvacchA. I parsed it as vyomavat svacchA.If it meant clear/pure space, then the compound would have been svaccha-vyoma.

***VA - prana awakens by knowing itself in inert body.
First, (prana) sports in various great manifestations, then
self-reflection transcends prana, it no longer moves.
~AS. The first line is connected with v. 52. One perceives it to be in the jaDa body, after being awakened by prANa. The phrase vedanAtmatayA means due to becoming full of awareness (vedanA). In the next two lines, yaH and saH do not refer to prANa but one possessing ego or mind. One who on various inspirations of awareness, after prANa leaves, he without a mind does not move.

~vlm.53. The dull body being enlivened by the vital breath, is recognized by the mind as belonging to itself; and plays many parts and frolics with it, as in its prior state of existence.

*Ott. #vedana: -am, #vedanA वेदनम् वेदना [>vid] - Knowledge [Perceptual Understanding], perception. • feeling pain, full of aches mbh • #vedanam - the act of finding, falling in with (gen) • cf. #utkRSTa) - *vedanA Understanding - vedana is derived from >vid, and refers to rational knowledge, just as *cetana derives from >cit, and refers to intuitive or irrational knowledge. - this Understanding or Apprehension can be Such or unSuch, So or not-So, true or false, like the apprehensions of rope and snake: etau vedana-zabdArthau rajju-sarpa-bhrama-upamau | asatyau uditau viddhi mRga-tRSNa-ambhasau samau || y7003.003 +

~sv.54 The reflection of consciousness within itself is known as puryastaka. Mind alone is puryastaka, though others have described it more elaborately (as composed of the five elements, the inner instrument — mind, buddhi, egosense and citta — prana, the organs of action, the senses, ignorance, desire, and karma or action). It is also known as the linga-sarira, the subtle body.

~vlm.54. The mind vibrates no longer, after the extinction of breathing; and then, O sage! the pure intellect is reflected in the eight fold receptacle of vacuum. (These are termed the puryashtakas and consist of the mind, life, knowledge, the organs of action, illusion, desire, activity and the subtile body).

~jd. Ramana does not share VLM's view of _pury-aSTaka, in which the subtle body is only one of eight elements. See below.

jd# puryaSTaka - Ramana, Talk 629. D.: Enquiry into the Self seems to take one into the subtle body (#AtivAhika zarIra or #puryaSTaka or #jIvAtma). Am I right? m.: They are different names for the same state, but they are used according to the different points of view. After some time puryaSTaka (the eight fold subtle body) will disappear and there will be the _eka (one) only. #vritti-jJAna alone can destroy #ajJAna (ignorance). Absolute jJAna is not inimical to ajJAna. There are two kinds of vRitti-s (modes of mind). (1) #viSaya-vRtti (objective) and (2) #Atma-vRtti (subjective). The first must give place to the second. That is the aim of #abhyAsa (practice), which takes one first to the puryaSTaka and then to the One Self. #puryaSTa, puryaSTaka puri-aSTa-ka —¶mw* - n. the eight constituent parts of the body, on mn.1.56. ——¶jd - puryaSTaka analysis in y6050.014 ff — see Persp. p60 —; 'the town with eight gates', "the subtle body ..

***VA - the highest cit reflects in the emptiness of 8 parts of the subtle body, o muni, like reflection is seen in in mirror only, not in stones and such objects.
~AS. I agree.

~vlm. ... it is the mind alone these as their octuple receptacle--puryashtaka, and which is the agent of all actions, and is termed by different names according to the views of different divine teachers.

* मनः पुर्यष्टकं विद्धि - Know manas.Mind to be the City of Eight Gates = सर्व-कार्य=एक-कारणम् - the all-effect=one-cause = तद्-आ एव भेदैः कथितम् - from-that it is explained by different = अन्यैः स्व.आशय-कल्पितैः - other own.intent-inventions. - differently for particular purposes.

*AS. AB explains it. The reflection of cit has been described so far as being in the mind, but described to be in the body in v. 54. So, this verse clarifies that manas is to be equated to the 8 fold body, because the same idea is variously by different people who have formulated their intent differently. In other words, don't worry about terminology(:-))

?*jd. since two-thirds of this huge work is about Technical.Terms, I think U must worry,

if U want a meaningful translation.

the verse indicates merely that other schools may define terms differently

(implying, I think, that out Technical Terms are defined for this book).

~sv.55-56 Since all these arise in consciousness, exist in consciousness and dissolve in consciousness, that consciousness alone is the reality.

Consciousness has fallen

*sv.4 It is the mind alone that is the root.cause of experiencing the world as if it were real; but it cannot be truly considered such a cause since there can be no mind other than pure consciousness.

*vlm.4. The mind alone is said to be the cause of the perception of the exterior world in the intellect; but the mind can be no such cause of it, from the impossibility of its, seperate existence independent of the intellect.

*sv.5 Thus, if it is realised that the perceiving mind itself is unreal, then it is clear that the perceived world is unreal too.

*vlm.5. Thus there being no causality of the mind, there cannot be its cousations of the thinkable world also. Therefore the intellect only is the cause of thought, and neither the mind nor the thinkable world: (which produces or impresses the thought). The gloss says that, "the intellect whereby the mind thinks, is not the mind nor its dependant or the objective thinkable world; but it is the pure subjective self.same intellect only."

There is no spectacle, spectator (or sight of) of anything anywhere, unless it be a delusion, as that which appears oiliness in a stone; and there is no matter, making or work of any kind; unless it be a mistake like that of blackness in the moon; (The oily glossiness of the marble and the shade in the moon, are no other but the inherent properties of those things).

*sv.6.13 Even as there is no oil in a rock, in pure consciousness the diversity of sight, seer and scene, or of doer, act and action, or of knower, knowledge and known does not exist. Similarly, the distinction between 'I' and 'you' is imaginary. The distinction between the one and the many is verbal. All these do not exist at all even as darkness does not exist in the sun. Opposites like substantiality and unsubstantiality, void and non.void are mere concepts. On enquiry, all these disappear and only the unmodified pure consciousness remains. Consciousness does not truly undergo any modification nor does it become impure. The impurity itself is imaginary; imagination is the impurity. When this is realised, the imagination is abandoned and impurity ceases. However, even in those who have realised this, the impurity arises unless the imagination is firmly rejected.

there is no measurer, nothing

*vlm.7. The terms measure, measurer, and measerable are as negative in nature, as the privation of forest plants in the sky; and the words intellect, intellection and intelligible are as meaningless in themselves, as the absence of thorns and thistles in the garden of Paradise.

*sv.6.13 Even as there is no oil in a rock, in pure consciousness the diversity of sight, seer and scene, or of doer, act and action, or of knower, knowledge and known does not exist.

*vlm.8. The personalities of egoism, tuism and illism [sic]; are as false as mountains in the firmament; and the difference of persons (as this is my body and that another's), is as untrue as to find whiteness in ink.

*sv.6.13. Similarly, the distinction between 'I' and 'you' is imaginary. The distinction between the one and the many is verbal. All these do not exist at all even as darkness does not exist in the sun..

*vlm.9 The Divine Spirit is neither the same nor different in all bodies because it is as impossible for the Universal Soul to be confined in anybody as it is impracticable for mount meru to be contained in an atom of dust. It is impossible to express the Divine Spirit using words and their meanings, just as sandy soil is incapable of growing tender herbs.

*vlm.10. The dictum netineti...It is neither this nor any other, is as untrue as the belief of the darkness of night subsisting in company with the day light: and substantiality and unsubstantially are both as wanting in the supreme spirit, as heat is wanting in ice.

*sv.6.13. All these do not exist at all even as darkness does not exist in the sun. Opposites like substantiality and unsubstantiality, void and non.void are mere concepts.

*vlm.11. It is as wrong to call it either as empty or solid, as it is to say a tree growing in the womb of a stone to call it either the one or the other; is to have it for the infinite vacuum or the full plenum.

*sv.6.13 Even as there is no oil in a rock, in pure consciousness the diversity of sight, seer and scene, or of doer, act and action, or of knower, knowledge and known does not exist.

*VA. . there is no emptiness or fullness, like there is no tree in a stone.
emptiness and non.emptiness, like space and grossness are names.

*AS. First, note that nAma has nothing to do with a name here, it is used as an adverb which is given to mean: indeed, certainly, forsooth, really, of course, even, probably, possibly, perhaps, agreed, granted, granting

jd. and in some dix "namely"; if you accuse me of a crime I may ask "Namely what?"

*AS. There is no emptyness in something nonempty, as there is no tree inside a stone enclosure.
Thus, there is (only) emptyness in space; indeed, the perceivable non emptyness (perception) in like a property of non.space.

It really has no place to be there! Thus, if something is perceived to be part of the space, it is but an illusion.

*sv.27.28 When consciousness becomes aware of itself within itself, the egosense arises. With just a little movement though, this egosense (which in truth is nothing other than consciousness) falls down as a rock rolls down the mountainside.

*vlm.27. When the mind thinks of itself of its difference (from the intellect), and the existence of the unrealities (in nature), it gets the sense of its egoism, and then it perishes though it originally imperishable in its nature. (The sruti tasya bhayam, bhavati, it then fears to die" because the personal soul is subject to death, and not the impersonal or universal soul which never dies. So the phrase: "Forget yourself and you'll never fear to die").

*vlm.31. It is the action of the vital air, which gives pulsation to the pupils of the eye, and whose light is called the sight, which is the instrument of perceiving the forms and colours of things that are placed without it, but the perception belongs to the power and action of the intellect.

*vlm.32. The air and skin are both of them contemptible and insensible things, yet their union gives the perception of touch or feeling; the mind becomes conscious of that feeling, but its consciousness is dependent on and caused by the intellect.

*vlm.35. The mind is the volitive principle of action from some desire or to some end and aim of its own, and the thoughts of the mind are all mixed with foulness, while the nature of the intellectual soul is quite pure and simple. (The difference between the sensuous mind and the conscious intellect, is that the one is the volitive and active agents of its actions, the other is the passive and neutral witness of all and every thing that is and comes to take place, without its interference in any).

*sv.35.37 Action springs from thought, thought is the function of the mind, mind is conditioned consciousness, but consciousness is unconditioned! The universe is but a reflection in consciousness (like the scenery reflected in a crystal ball) but consciousness is not conditioned by such reflection.

In such statements as these, the word ‘Atman’ is used several times, with different connotations. The Self is the friend of the self. The Self is the enemy of the self. How can the friend be also the enemy? The Self can be the friend; the Self can be the enemy. But whose friend and whose enemy? Of the Self itself. The Self is the friend of the self, and the Self is the enemy of the self under different circumstances." . Krishnananda. •.• jd: we are all multiple schizophrenics.

*vlm.49. As the stone flung from a fling is lost forever, so the thoughts of the mind are dispersed in the air, unless they are fixed upon some object. The thoughts are accompaniments of the mind and vitality, as fragrance is attendant on flowers and heat upon fire.

*AS. The second line describes the activities of the prANa in the body explaining how it carries the mind. Awareness (saMvitti) arises from the movement of the prANa (pavana.spanda) as it touches the nerves (nADI). The word nADI has a more extensive meaning of all channels in the body.

#chavi –f. skin, colour (of the skin); splendor; a ray of light.

*vlm.p.50 Wherever there is vital breath breathing, there is the principle of the mind with its trains of thoughts, just as whenever the moon appears it is accompanied by its beams. Our consciousness is the result of the vibrations of vital air, like our perception of phenomena. This air sustains the body by supplying juice from food to all the nerves and arteries.

*sv.40.53 Because prana is the vehicle for the mind, where the prana takes it the mind goes. But when the mind is merged in the spiritual heart, prana does not move. And if the prana does not move, the mind attains a quiescent state. Where the prana goes the mind follows it, even as the rider goes where the vehicle goes.

*vlm.51. The mind and consciousness both belong to the body, the one residing in the hollow of the vital air, and the other is as clear as the intellect, and resides alike in all gross and subtile bodies, like the all pervading and transparent vacuum.

*AS. The spread of awareness (saMvittisphAratA) is the chitta, which is called mind when residing in the prANa enclosure.The awareness (saMvit) is everywhere, clear like space and in both inert and non inert. One comment of the samAsa (compound) vyomasvacchA. I parsed it as vyomavat svacchA.If it meant clear/pure space, then the compound would have been svaccha.vyoma.

*vlm.52. It remains in the form of conscious self.existence in dull inanimate bodies; and appears to be afraid of the vibrations of animal life (i.e. The vegitables and minerals are conscious of their own existence, without having their vital and animal actions of breathing and locomotion).

*VA. . prana awakens by knowing itself in inert body.

First, (prana) sports in various great manifestations, then

self.reflection transcends prana, it no longer moves.
*AS. The first line is connected with v. 52. One perceives it to be in the jaDa body, after being awakened by prANa. The phrase vedanAtmatayA means due to becoming full of awareness (vedanA). In the next two lines, yaH and saH do not refer to prANa but one possessing ego or mind. One who on various inspirations of awareness, after prANa leaves, he without a mind does not move.

*vlm.53. The dull body being enlivened by the vital breath, is recognized by the mind as belonging to itself; and plays many parts and frolics with it, as in its prior state of existence.

*Ott. #vedana: .am, #vedanA वेदनम् वेदना [>vid] . Knowledge [Perceptual Understanding], perception. • feeling pain, full of aches mbh • #vedanam . the act of finding, falling in with (gen) • cf. #utkRSTa) . *vedanA Understanding . vedana is derived from >vid, and refers to rational knowledge, just as *cetana derives from >cit, and refers to intuitive or irrational knowledge. . this Understanding or Apprehension can be Such or unSuch, So or not.So, true or false, like the apprehensions of rope and snake: etau vedana.zabdArthau rajju.sarpa.bhrama.upamau | asatyau uditau viddhi mRga.tRSNa.ambhasau samau ||6|31| y7003.003 +

*sv.54 The reflection of consciousness within itself is known as puryastaka. Mind alone is puryastaka, though others have described it more elaborately (as composed of the five elements, the inner instrument — mind, buddhi, egosense and citta — prana, the organs of action, the senses, ignorance, desire, and karma or action). It is also known as the linga.sarira, the subtle body.

*vlm.54. The mind vibrates no longer, after the extinction of breathing; and then, O sage! the pure intellect is reflected in the eight fold receptacle of vacuum. (These are termed the puryashtakas and consist of the mind, life, knowledge, the organs of action, illusion, desire, activity and the subtile body).

*jd. Ramana does not share VLM's view of_pury.aSTaka, where the subtle body is only one of eight elements. See below.

*jd. puryaSTaka . Ramana, Talk 629. D.: Enquiry into the Self seems to take one into the subtle body (#AtivAhika zarIra or #puryaSTaka or #jIvAtma). Am I right? m.: They are different names for the same state, but they are used according to the different points of view. After some time puryaSTaka (the eight fold subtle body) will disappear and there will be the_eka (one) only. #vritti.jJAna alone can destroy #ajJAna (ignorance). Absolute jJAna is not inimical to ajJAna. There are two kinds of vRitti.s (modes of mind). (1) #viSaya.vRtti (objective) and (2) #Atma.vRtti (subjective). The first must give place to the second. That is the aim of #abhyAsa (practice), which takes one first to the puryaSTaka and then to the One Self. #puryaSTa, puryaSTaka puri.aSTa.ka —¶mw* . n. the eight constituent parts of the body, on mn.1.56. ——¶jd . puryaSTaka analysis in y6050.014 ff — see Persp. p60 —; 'the town with eight gates', "the subtle body_.

*VA. the highest cit reflects in the emptiness of 8 parts of the subtle body, o muni, like reflection is seen in mirror only, not in stones and such objects.
*AS. I agree.

?*jd. since two.thirds of this huge work is about Technical.Terms, I think U must worry,

if U want a meaningful translation. the verse indicates merely that other schools may define terms differently.

*vlm.56. That which gives rise to the net work of our imaginary visible world, and that in which it appears to be situated, and whereby the mind is made to revolve in various bodies, know that supreme substance to be the Immensity of Brahma, and source of all this world, (or as diffused as all in all which is thence called the visvam..the all to pan.

*sv.55.56 Since all these arise in consciousness, exist in consciousness and dissolve in consciousness, that consciousness alone is the reality.
