Crosses The Vast Avidya And Maya Be This Bow There Is One Positive

 - Principle called ajnana It is called avidya when velling its own seat (viz., Atman) and it is itself called Maya when giving birth to manifold effects

- So that knowledge of the Reality removes Maya as well as avidya Therefore in the case of him who knows the Reality his inherent nature as non-dual and pure bliss 

- itself is never veiled Neither will he be subject to a new birth or such other effects When the tie of avidya is thus unloosed then do all ties of the heart and the like cease

- This has been taught in the same Upanishad as follows - He the lower as well as the higher being seen the heart-tie is broken all doubts are cut asunder and his karmas perish

- The Paramatman the Supreme Self is all the low and the high He is higher than the high than even ajnana which is the cause of the universe When He is realised

- The heart-tie is broken. Heart means 'antah-karana' the inner sense the linga sarira When penetrated by the light of consciousness it becomes a sentient entity

- manifesting itself as the agent of action This entity has been regarded in the Tarka Sastra and the Purva Mimamsa as the real Self whereas in the view of the Vedanta

- This Self is as false as the self of the physical body The illusion by which one regards the heart this linga-sarira as identical with the conscious Self of pure bliss

- Like the illusion which leads one to identify the real but unrecognised mother-of-pearl with silver imagined to exist therein
