Atmabodha,-Revelling in FREEDOM, (S.-1, Ch.-8, V.-66)

श्रवणादिभिरुद्दीप्तज्ञानाग्निपरितापितः । जीवः सर्वमलान्मुक्तः स्वर्णवद्द्योतते स्वयम् ॥ ६६॥

śravaṇādibhiruddīptajñānāgniparitāpitaḥ । jīvaḥ sarvamalānmuktaḥ svarṇavaddyotate svayam ॥ 66॥

1 Shravan-aadibhih ud-deepta By listening to the scriptures, and so on, is kindled 2 jnaana-agni pari-taapitah;the fire of Knowledge, in the heat of which 3 jeevah sarvamalaat muktah the impurities of individuality are freed, 4 svarna-vat dyotate swayam. just as the smelting of gold frees it from its dross.

The Jeeva is purified by heating in the fire of knowledge kindled by hearing, reasoning and deep contemplation on what has been heard and reasoned out. Then the Jeeva shines of itself like pure gold obtained after melting and purifying the gold ore. Just as one heats gold ore in a cruicible to purify it, one has to use the fire of Jnana to purify the mind. Jnana can be achieved according to Hindu philosophy by Sravana (hearing) Manana (reasoning of truth) and Nidhi Dhyasana (deep contemplation). Then the mind will be free from impure thoughts, and the feeling of Jeeva gets automatically extinguished. Then only the self- illuminating Atma exists.
