Commentary

The ātman, being comprised of consciousness, is not the doer, and that the ātman's conjunction with the Prakrti, and its controlling the body and its experience of happiness and misery are all the result of ignorance (ajñāna) in the form of Karma — then indeed one perceives the Self as it really is.

yadā bhūta pṛthag bhāvam ekastham anupaśyati |
tathaiva ca vistāram brahma saṃpadyate tadā || 31 ||

31. When one understands the independent individuality of all beings as being rooted in one basis,
as also their evolution, then one attains to the Brahman.
