As we come to a close of this beautful text, the last few verses reminds us again that the highest goal of liberation-while-living is attained only by renouncing jīva’s duality. Om Tat Sat.

Although Manorājya -fantasizing or the internal thought world is of the milder varierty of jīva’s duality, it is the seed for the intense variety of kāma, krodha etc. Hence, it has to be conquered through the contemplation of oneself as Brahman which can be attained gradually through meditating upon Īśvara.

How can the previously eliminated rāga-dveṣa come back on gaining the self knowledge? Swaminiji expounds on this by examining two assumption behind this question. 1) Self knowledge is not an event that happens in time. 2) The self is not subject to time. It being the reason by whose presence time unfolds.

Even after gaining self-knowledge, one who hasn't eradicated the mental defects ( rāga-dveṣa), suffers not only from the mental afflictions, but in addition invites public criticism. Hence free yourself from the defects by committing to a life of discipline and mindful consumption.

If a student of Vedanta thinking that they have attained liberation, disregards the scriptural teachings and does not fully give up the hold of binding desires then the knowledge gained is enough.Verses 54-60 asks all students pursing this knowledhe to be vigilant at all times.

The jīva’s duality not in conformity with the scripture is twofold, intense and dull. That which gives rise to lust, anger etc is (called) intense, and that which gives rise to fantasies is (termed as) dull.

Ātma-vichāra or the contemplation upon the nature of the self as Brahman, conforms with the scriptures, but even this duality is to be renounced after Brahman is understood fully. The śrutis advises to not engage with too many words. Two verses are given to elucidate this “Know only that one and give up all other talk” (Muṇḍaka, 2.5) and “A wise person should resolve oneʼs speech in the mind” (Kaṭha, 3.13)

The jīva’s duality is of two kinds: that which conforms with the scriptures and that which does not conform with the scriptures. Until the assimilation of the truth of the self, the jīva sṛṣṭi approved by the scripture should be accepted.

On hearing that the the cause of bondage is the internalized jagat, objections are raised by the vijñānavāda and the yoga school of thought. The responses to these objections are extremely nuanced and beautifully elucidated in this episode.

A person is bound in the dream-state even though there are no external objects. On the other hand, even with the presence of external objects, a person is not bound in the states of samādhi, deep sleep and unconsciousness. This is beautifully illustrated with the example. Listen to find out!

Through the logic of invariable concomitance, it can be said that the subjective component (the internalized object) is the cause of bondage for the jīva. In its presence, sorrow and happiness arise, and in its absence, they too are gone.

Verse 23, talked about how the same woman, seen through competing minds, appear differently to different people. In this episode, an objection against this viewpoint is raised by the Pūrvapakṣa and to this, Swami Vidyaranya responds expertly, elucidating the point that one always relates to the subjective person and not the objective person. That indeed there are two individuals. How? Listen to learn more!
