1.3 tatla drastuh svarupe avasthanam
Оглавлениеtada | then, at that time |
drastuh | the soul, the seer |
svarupe | in his own, in his state |
avasthanam | rests, abides, dwells, resides, radiates |
Then, the seer dwells in his own true splendour.
When the waves of consciousness are stilled and silenced, they can no longer distort the true expression of the soul. Revealed in his own nature, the radiant seer abides in his own grandeur.
Volition being the mode of behaviour of the mind, it is liable to change our perception of the state and condition of the seer from moment to moment. When it is restrained and regulated, a reflective state of being is experienced. In this state, knowledge dawns so clearly that the true grandeur of the seer is seen and felt. This vision of the soul radiates without any activity on the part of citta. Once it is realized, the soul abides in its own seat.
