The embodied soul. Jivatma, rendered
dirty by ignorance is purified by knowledge
through long and uninterrupted meditation on
Brahma, and then itself disappears as the
powder of Kataka nut (cleaning nut)
precipitates itself after precipitating impurities
suspended in muddy water.
The jivatma is rendered dirty by
illusory ideas of birth and death, happiness
and unhappiness which are superimposed
upon the self due to ignorance. Long and
uninterrupted meditation on Brahma firmly
stamps a man's consciousness with the
knowledge of his true divine nature and such
self knowledge makes a man realise that he
is not the doer or an experiencer but the all
9pervading Brahma, Existance, Knowledge and
Bliss Absolute (Satchit Anand). After having
thus sublimated the mind, knowledge itself
disappears like the powder of kataka nut which
disappears after cleansing muddy water.
