Atmabodha,-An Error of MISAPPREHENSION, (S.-1, Ch.-5, V.-16)

वपुस्तुषादिभिः कोशैर्युक्तं युक्त्यवघाततः । आत्मानमन्तरं शुद्धं विविञ्च्यात्तण्डुलं यथा ॥ १६॥

vapustuṣādibhiḥ kośairyuktaṃ yuktyavaghātataḥ । ātmānamantaraṃ śuddhaṃ viviñcyāttaṇḍulaṃ yathā ॥ 16॥

1 Vapuh-tusha-aadibhih koshaih As from the husk, etc, so also from the sheaths; as by thrashing rice in a mortar, so also by 2 yuktam yuktyaa avadhaatatah; logical reasoning; 3 aatmaanam antaram shuddham the purity of the Self within should be uncovered 4 vivichyaat tandulam yathaa. as the rice grain is uncovered (from the husk).

In this verse the connection with the sheaths and the Self is seen from a practical Sadhana viewpoint. It tells us how it is possible to separate the Self from these sheaths which disguise It. The process is a deeply internal one, using the most refined of all the instruments of the subtle body, namely, the intellect. The verse gives us the assurance that with a purified intellect, one can “separate” the Self from the sheaths. It is a rigorous analytical process, requiring a very pure and sharp intellect, and supported by the declaration in the Shastras of our true identity with Brahman the Supreme Reality. When this analysis is performed with relentless precision, the Self is beheld independent of the five sheaths which “cover” It.
