Chapter 2, Verse 21:

 

Swami Chetanananda

As one sees the moon as only one and very bright on the full moon night,

so one should perceive Brahman as one and luminous. Dualistic vision

comes from false perceptin.

Note: Dualistic vision - The moon is one; but if any person sees two

moons, his eyes are defective. Similarly, Brahman is one; if anybody

perceives variety,his vision is caused by the disease of ignorance.

 

Swami Ashokananda

There is only one very clear moon on the full moon night. One shold

perceive That (the Self) like the moon; seeing duality is perversion.

BRAHMAN: The Absolute Potential with the ability to create.

 

Note: Brahman is not manifested because it is a potential. Even when

that Potential is " manifested " what we perceive is the creation. We

never perceive the potential that brings about the creation. We may

form a consideration about this Potential in terms what we perceive,

but that would be only our CONSIDERATION. Any form that we may hold

for this Potential (and call it God) would only be part of the

consideration generated by us. No dualism may be applied to something

that is not there. Dualism may only be applied to our consideration

of it, simply because that consideration is manifested.
