Atmabodha,-The Birth of the EGO, (S.-1, Ch.-6, V.-29)

स्वबोधे नान्यबोधेच्छा बोधरूपतयात्मनः । न दीपस्यान्यदीपेच्छा यथा स्वात्मप्रकाशने ॥ २९॥

svabodhe nānyabodhecchā bodharūpatayātmanaḥ । na dīpasyānyadīpecchā yathā svātmaprakāśane ॥ 29॥

Swa-bodhe na anya-bodhecchhaa: To know the Self, needs no other knowledge, bodha-roopa-tayaa aatmanah; for, one’s own Self is of the form of knowledge. na deepasya anya-deepecchhaa: A lighted lamp does not need another lamp, yathaa swaatma prakaashane: to make it visible as it illumines itself.

Atma which is knowledge itself does not require other knowledge to know it, just as a lighted lamp does not need another lamp to illumine its light. Atma as explained earlier is itself the illuminating one. What else can illuminate it? The only requirement is removal of ignorance. Then automatically the illumination of Atma comes out.
