13. The objects have no reality of their own. They appear on the real

Brahman.

14. Brahman is transcendent. He is in no way implicated in the

changes and impurities of the changing objects as He is Spirit.

15. The stream of our mental expeirences is itself witnessed and

illumined by a self-revealing principle of pure consciousness or Para

Brahman.

16. Truth (Satyam) is Reality. An object is fit to be called real

when that object is found to be unchanging at all places and under

all circumstances.

17. Truth is the deepest consciousness in us, a reality to be

experienced.

18. Truth must be something universal, something which can be applied

in all cases and all places. Truth must be always the same. Truth is

permanent.

19. That alone is truth which makes it possible to free a man from

pain and sorrow.

20. Truth is universal. Truth is eternal. Truth knows no age. Thou

art truth. Abide in this truth.

21. When the truth is known, duality disappears.

22. The Jiva becomes tinged with Ahamkara (egoism). This Ahamkara

manifests itself as Buddhi (intellect). This Buddhi becomes the mind.

23. This mind becomes gradually the organs (indriyas).

24. It is these ten indriyas that are termed this body of flesh.

25. The Jiva gradually debases himself through egoism, desires and

Sankalpas (thoughts) and gets enmeshed in the snare of pains.
