Namaste, Chapter Seven of his Upadesasahasri- (The Thousand Teachings), entitled " Located In the Intellect. " This chapter, which follows, describes the error in the superimposition of the Atman on the intellect. 1.Everything located in the intellect is always seen by Me in every case [of cognition]. Therefore, I am the highest Brahman; I am all- knowing and all-pervading. He further addresses this concept in verse 2: 2.Just as am the Witness of the movements in My own intellect, so am I [also the Witness of the movements] in others' [intellects]. I can neither be rejected nor accepted. Therefore, I am indeed the highest [Atman]. The object of knowledge in the intellect exists when the intellect exists-, otherwise it does not exist. Since the Seer is always seer, duality does not exist. The same is covered in the Vivekacudamani. That some validity is given to the intellect only as an adjunct or reflection of the Atman and that ultimately it doesn't exist on Moksha...........ONS...Tony.
