Atmabodha,-An Error of MISAPPREHENSION, (S.-1, Ch.-5, V.-21)

देहेन्द्रियगुणान्कर्माण्यमले सच्चिदात्मनि । अध्यस्यन्त्यविवेकेन गगने नीलतादिवत् ॥ २१॥

dehendriyaguṇānkarmāṇyamale saccidātmani । adhyasyantyavivekena gagane nīlatādivat ॥ 21॥

1 Deha indriya gunaan karmaani Qualities and functions of the body and senses, are, upon the pure Self, whose nature is Existence and 2 amale sat chit aatmani; Consciousness, 3 adhyasyanti avivekena superimposed due to lack of discrimination (by fools), 4 gagane neelat-aadi-vat. just as colours like blue, etc, are superimposed on the sky.

As one believes the sky is blue, all the deeds and characteristics of body and organs are attributed to blemishless Atma due to lack of power of discrimination. Pure Atma is blemishless and it has both Sat and Chit. It has no birth, age, death, achievements or failures. It is not therefore possible to characterise it. Body and organs do both good and bad deeds. Their result will go to Sookshma Sareera but not to Pure Atma. That is why Adisankara argues that Pure Atma is the light within but not Jeevatma which is forced to take births till it attains purity and becomes Pure Atma or Brahma. The deeds done by body and organs are like illusions as far as Pure Atma is concerned. It is like the deeds of a character in a play or drama which do not affect the person donning the role.
