‘I am like infinite space, and the gross world is like a pot.’ (When you think of infinite space, a pot can’t be calculated as being a measurable part of it.) That being the case, there is neither giving up, nor accepting the world, nor merging. This is Gnan. (From the viewpoint of infinite space, limited space does not exist.)

‘I am like the ocean, and the prapancha (interactive world) is like the waves in it.’ This is Gnan. That being the case, neither is the prapanch given up, nor is it accepted; nor does it have any form. (From the viewpoint of the cause, the effect is not separate from it.)

‘I am like a sea-shell, and the world has been imagined in me like the silver in a sea-shell.’ This is Gnan. That being the case, neither is the world to be given up, nor to be accepted; nor does it merge. Here, the jagat (world) is indicated as being the vivarta (mutation) of the Atma. The purport is that the feeling of cause and effect – caused by bhram (mistaken understanding) are non-existent.

‘I am in all beings, and all beings are in me. (like the silver seen in a sea-shell).’ This is Gnan. That being the case, what will be the giving up, accepting, or merging of the jagat? (Only the Atma exists.)
