Atmabodha,-The Birth of the EGO, (S.-1, Ch.-6, V.-28)

आत्मावभासयत्येको बुद्ध्यादीनीन्द्रियाण्यपि । दीपो घटादिवत्स्वात्मा जडैस्तैर्नावभास्यते ॥ २८॥

ātmāvabhāsayatyeko buddhyādīnīndriyāṇyapi । dīpo ghaṭādivatsvātmā jaḍaistairnāvabhāsyate ॥ 28॥

1 Aatmaa ava-bhaasayati ekah The Self alone illuminates 2 buddhi-aadini indriyaani api hi; the intellect, etc, and also verily the senses, 3 deepah ghat-aadi-vat swaatmaa just as a lamp itself illuminates pots, etc. 4 jadaih taih na ava-bhaasyate. Inert themselves, they cannot illumine themselves.

Just as a lamp illumines a pot or a jar, the Atma illumines the mind and the sense organs also. These material objects like pot cannot illumine themselves because they are inert and have no chaitanya. The Atma in us is the one illuminating factor, the Pure consciousness, which alone illumines the mind (Buddhi) and sense organs.
