CHAPTER FOUR

Maya Darsanam—Vision of Illusive Relativity

Verse - 7


इन्द्रियाणां हि विषयः प्रपञ्चोऽयं विस्रज्यते ।

यया सैवापराऽध्यात्मस्थूलसङ्कल्पनामयी ॥ ७ ॥


As this manifested world objects of the senses are indeed emitted forth

That which is the non-supreme pertains to the Gross Self composed of will.


Sree Narayana Guru

Commentary


What pertains to the Gross Self is reflected in the manifested world. This is an image of an image. The Gross Self is composed of will and thus desires sense objects. The Chhandogya Upanishad (VIII.2.1 ff) with great clarity describes the function of the will and desire.
