प्रबोधरूपं मनसोऽर्थयोगजं स्मृतौ च सुप्तस्य च दृश्यतोऽर्थवत् ।
तथैव देहप्रतिमानतः पृथग्दृशेः शरीरं च मनश्च दृश्यतः ॥ ४९ ॥
49. The impressions arising on account of the contact
of the mind with the objects known in the waking
state are perceived like objects ¹ in memory and dream.
So the body, the mind and their impressions ² are
different from the Self as they are objects of perception.³
स्वभावशुद्धे गगने घनादिके मलेऽपयाते सति चाविशेषता ।
यथाच, तद्वच्छ्रुतिवारितद्वये सदाऽविशेषो गगनोपमे दृशौ ॥५०॥
50. Just as impurities like clouds etc. do not produce
any alteration in the naturally pure ether by their ap-
pearance or disappearance; so, there is never any
alteration in the ether-like Consciousness free from
duality negated by the Sruti.
¹ I.e. like those in the waking state. ² Br. U., 2. 3. 6.
³ The meaning is this : as they are objects of perception the
body etc. are unreal like dream objects.
