What happens when it accepts the mind and five senses as its own? As the wind carries away odours from their sources, even so the Jivãtma (embodied soul), accepting itself as the Lord of the body, snatching the mind and the senses from the body, which it casts off, migrates into the body which it acquires viz., it takes birth and dies again and again.(8) What does the Jivatma do there, 0 Lord? This Jivatma (embodied soul), depending on the mind, through the five sense-organs—the ear, the eye, the skin, the tongue and the nose enjoys the sense-enjoyments of sound, form, touch, taste and smell having• attachment.(9) What is the result of sense-enjoyments with attachment? The Soul departing from the body or dwelling in the body or enjoying the objects of senses remains detached and unconnected. But the ignorant people who enjoy the objects of senses don't know this reality. Then who knows it? Those who possess the eye of wisdom know it in reality.(10) |
