1/2 VIVEKACIIUDAMANI

there is nothing besides Brahman which exists beyond the utmost range of Prakriti. Are the pitcher, jug, or jar etc. ktuov'/n to be distinct from the earth of wiv'ch they are composed? It is the deluded man who talks of 'Thou* and 'I,' as an effect of the wine of Maya.

[ Where one sees &'c. — The reference is to Chhandogya VII. xxiv.i, — *'Wliere op^e sees nothing else, hears nothing- else, knows noliiiug else — that is the Infinite." That is, the Brahman is the only Reality there is.

J^aise superitfipositions — i. e. consiJerin<2^ the- Knower, Knowledge and Known a^ distinct en- tities. ]
