Infinite Self as ever identified with his being.

[ From Brahmd c^c. — ^^Even the position of Creator is a pas^^ing- phase of the Self which is greater than all Its conditions. ]

387. That in which somethino^ is ima- gined to e-'c'st throtio^h delusion, is, when rightly d'scriminated, that thing itself, and not d'stinct from it. When the delu- sion is sfone, the reality about the snake falsely perceived, becomes the rope. vSimi-

larly the universe is in reality the Atman.

[The rope is always the rope and never act'ially turns into a snake; similarly the universe also is Brahnrjan, ahvays. ]

388. The Self is Brahma, the Self is Vishnu, the Self is Indra, the Self is Shiva; the Self is all this universe. Nothing -exists except the Self.
