The true nature of the self (ātman) is not to be made (kर्तव्य), but only to be known (ज्ञातव्य) by itself. Just as a lamp illuminates light, but does not create new light, so too the self does not create its own nature. Otherwise, if the self were to be created, it would be devoid of its own nature (स्वरूप) and become non-self (अनात्मा). And even with thousands of reasons, the non-self cannot become the self. Therefore, according to this principle (नय), the self is not the doer (कर्त्ता), but the holder of pure consciousness (शुद्ध भाव). However, for the sake of convention (लोकोपचार), the self may be considered the doer, but there is no harm in that. Those who believe in the creation of the qualities of the self (आत्मधर्माणां) are mistaken. They believe that these qualities are distinct and can be grasped. But since they are unmanifest (अव्यक्ति) and covered (आवृतेस्तेषां), how can they have any reality (नाभावादिति का प्रभा)?

________________ स्वरूपं तु कर्तव्यं, ज्ञातव्यं केवलं स्वतः। दीपेन दीप्यते ज्योतिर्न त्वपूर्वं विधीयते ॥११॥ भावार्थ : आत्मा को अपना स्वरूप करना (कर्तव्य) नहीं होता, केवल स्वतः जानना (ज्ञातव्य) होता है । दीपक से ज्योति (प्रकाश) प्रदीप्त होती है, परन्तु उससे कोई अपूर्व ज्योति प्रगट नहीं की जा सकती ॥९१॥ अन्यथा प्रागनात्मा स्यात् स्वरूपाननुवृत्तितः । न च हेतुसहस्त्रेणाऽप्यात्मा स्यादनात्मनः ॥१२॥ भावार्थ : अन्यथा (पूर्वोक्त मत को न मानने पर) आत्मा अपने रूप की उत्पत्ति से पहले स्वरूप के असम्बन्ध के कारण अनात्मा (जड़) हो जायगी। और उस अनात्मा का आत्मत्व हजारों हेतुओं से भी सिद्ध (प्राप्त) नहीं होगा ॥९२। नये तेनेह नो कर्त्ता किन्त्वात्मा शुद्धभावकृत् । उपचारात्तु लोकेषु तत्कर्तृत्वमपीष्यताम् ॥१३॥ भावार्थ : इसलिए इस नय से आत्मा कर्ता नहीं है, परन्तु शुद्ध भाव का धारण करने वाला है और लोकोपचार से उसका (आत्मा का) कर्तृत्व भी भले ही मानें, कोई हर्ज नहीं ॥१३॥ उत्पत्तिमात्मधर्माणां विशेषग्राहिणो जगुः । अव्यक्तिरावृतेस्तेषां नाभावादिति का प्रभा ? ॥१४॥ २४८ अध्यात्मसार
