ATMABODHA | VERSE 05 |

ATMABODHA | VERSE 05 | SRI ADI SANKARACARYA

ATMABODHA | VERSE 05 | SRI ADI SANKARACARYA

1. The jiva is mixed up with ignorance . By constant practice of knowledge the jiva becomes pure , because knowledge disappears ( along with ignorance ) , as the cleansing nut with the impurities in the water .

But here is the world , how can the Self alone be real and non-dual? ~ RM

2. Through repeated practice , Knowledge purifies the embodied soul stained by ignorance, and then itself disappears , as the powder of the kataka-nut disappears after it has cleansed muddy water .

3. Constant practice of knowledge purifies the Self ( Jivatman ) , stained by ignorance and then disappears itself — as the powder of the ' Kataka-nut ' settles down after it has cleansed the muddy water .
