To know the complete svarūpa of any object in such a world, both outward observation and inward observation are needed. The first is the world of the jīva; the second is the world of Īśvara. The world of the jīva is a cause of bondage; the world of Īśvara is a cause free of bondage. One who knows the world only as the world cannot become a knower of the Veda; only one who sees the world as the svarūpa of the Paramātma is a true knower of the Veda. One who knows that the world, the effect, is not different from its cause; that Brahman is the root and the countless multitudes of jīvas are the branches; and that these grow through karmas: he can become a knower of the Veda.
