In plain words
This itself is bhrama. What is, is one; but what is thought is another. It goes on mistaking Satya for Asatya, and Asatya for Satya. It mistakes a rope for a snake, and a snake for a rope. Through the very delusion that humanness is permanent, man forgets to some extent that true divinity. The body is impermanent. In the impermanent itself the permanent dwells. Humanness is the very form of the permanent and the impermanent together. The impermanent is the body; the permanent is the one who dwells in the body. But forgetting the dweller in the body, we put our faith in the body alone; we believe Asatya to be Satya, and the permanent to be impermanent.
Through this very delusion, one day or another, we lose our body. We fall prey to this pramāda. So it is through bhrama itself that pramāda befalls us. Through the karaṇa we experience this very form, made of bhrama and pramāda mixed together.
The third is karaṇāpātaṃ. Karaṇa means a sense. It is an instrument. Patana means weakness. These senses have a kind of weakness. Manas cannot see things by itself. Only by depending on the senses is it able to see things. Manas cannot hear by itself. Only by depending on the ears does it hear the world. In this way Manas does all its karmas only by depending on the senses. But these senses are full of many defects. They are bound up with many weaknesses. They are impermanent, nothing more. They are subject to diseases. Because Manas experiences by depending on such senses, impermanent, transient, Asatya and afflicted with disease, the faults of these senses are reflected in the Manas. So through the faults of the senses Manas becomes impure. It is very pure. It is very sacred. But through company it becomes impure. Through these very faults of company man experiences good and bad. When dust keeps company with the wind, it flies up as far as the sky. When it keeps company with water, it sinks down into a pit. Dust has no legs to go down. Dust has no wings to fly up to the sky. Only through the fault of company does it fly in the sky. It sinks down as far as a pit. So man too, through these very faults of company, makes his Manas impure and so falls prey to sorrows and griefs. As our company is, so we take shape.
