Passage 15

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

Look at another example! There are many things made of clay: pots, lids, bowls, pitchers and so on. In these the support and the supported are clearly seen. If you inquire, “Are the pots in the clay, or is the clay in the pot?”, you find that in the clay there is only clay, and no pots. Yet there is no pot that does not have clay in it. In the same way, there are no guṇas in the Ātma, but the Ātma, for its part, is present in the guṇas too. Does this not make it clear that the Ātma is the entity that is Satya, and that the guṇas are mithyā? On this basis it becomes plain that the Paramātma, the kṣetrajña, is present in all beings in the svarūpa of the Ātma. That alone is the truth.
