yathā jale candramasaḥ

kampādis tat-kṛto guṇaḥ

dṛśyate ’sann api draṣṭur

ātmano ’nātmano guṇaḥ

The qualities belonging to the subtle body do not belong to the ātmā but appear to be so, just as the trembling quality in the water imposed on the reflection of the moon is not trembling of the moon, though it appears to be so.

The knowledge and bliss of the jīva may be covered, but how does the jīva obtain qualities such as attachment, hatred, lamentation, illusion and lust?”

 

The qualities such as lamentation and illusion belong to the antaḥkaraṇa (anātmanaḥ). They do not belong (asan) to the jīva (ātmanaḥ), the seer, though they appear to be so. The appearance takes place by imposition of the subtle body. An example is given to show how imposition of illusion takes place. The trembling imposed on the moon’s image in the water appears to be trembling of the moon, though actually the moon is not trembling but the water. The moon seen in the water is not the moon, but the moons rays of light only. Further more, when the rays of the moon or sun produce clear images in the water like trees, walls or stones which are clear, they are called reflections.

 

Also, the moon is perceived by person living on the moon to have a face, nose, hands and feet, ornaments, vehicle and associates. This example may be compared to perception of Bhagavān. He spread out rays from his svarūpa, and is realized by those situated somewhat close to have some specific qualities, and is realized by those situated far off to have no specific qualities. This is an example of seeing the Lord as Paramātmā and Brahman. The abundant rays extending externally in the form of a circle around the moon are like the mass of jīvas.

 

The rays are then perceived as a reflection on the water. The mass of jīvas is only perceived as a reflection, though they are not actually a reflection. Because of the perception of real rays in the water, that reflection imposed on the water takes up the qualities of the water such as quivering. Just as the reflection of the rays of the moon take on quivering which is a quality of the water, the jīvas takes on lamentation and illusion which are qualities of the antaḥ-karaṇa because of that imposition. The individual rays emanating all around may be compared to the individual jīvas.
