Atmabodha,-The UPADHIS or Conditioners, (S.-1, Ch.-4, V.-11)

नानोपाधिवशादेव जातिवर्णाश्रमादयः । var जातिनामाश्रमादयः आत्मन्यारोपितास्तोये रसवर्णादि भेदवत् ॥ ११।

nānopādhivaśādeva jātivarṇāśramādayaḥ । var jātināmāśramādayaḥ ātmanyāropitāstoye rasavarṇādi bhedavat ॥ 11।

1 Naanaa upaadhi-vashaat eva ||11|| Because of its association with different Upadhis, 2 jaati-naam-aashram-aadayah; the idea of caste, colour, position, etc, 3 aatmani aaropitaah toye are superimposed upon the Atman; as in water 4 rasa-varna-aadi bheda-vat. are (superimposed) differences like flavour, colour, etc.

Ideas such as caste, colour and position are imposed upon the Atman on account of its association with different upadhis, just as flavour, colour etc., are imposed upon water. Pure water is same every where and has no colour, taste and smell. Only when subjected to human reasoning, we feel colour or taste or smell. Similarly because of faulty reasoning we feel Pure Atma as different body beings, different races and of different origins. Even great scholars are influenced by the Maya of Paramatma so much that Atma is over shadowed by Anatma and we distinguish human being as man or woman of a particular race and particular religion. If one can look beyond this faulty reasoning, the Pure Atma in every being can be visualised.
