विलक्षण : स्थूल -सूक्ष्माद देहाद आत्मेक्षिता स्व -दृक ।
यथाग्निर दारूणों दाह्याद दाहको अन्य : प्रकाशक : । ।
Just as a blazing fire is different from the wood it burns to provide illumination ,so the know -er within the material body is different from the body itself ,which is pervaded by the consciousness of the soul .It should be firmly understood that the spirit soul and the body have different characteristics because they are two different entities.
Commentary
One should not maintain the false egoistic conception of "I"and "mine" in relation to the material body .The gross and shuttle bodies covering the living entities are made of the material elements ,but the spirit soul is transcendental to matter.The spirit soul possesses the transcendental qualities of the Lord , but in minute quantity .In this verse the soul is described as self -enlightened .Because the conditioned soul is enlightened by the mercy of the Lord , one may question how this can be .Although the Supreme Personality of Godhead certainly furnishes the living entity with consciousness ,the living entity being endowed with the potency of the Lord ,has himself the capacity to revive and expand his pure consciousness .
In this regard the soul is compared to gold and silver ,which,although having no power of self-illumination ,brightly reflect the rays of the sun .Thus,it may be said that gold and silver possess the power to illuminate ,although not independently .This verse gives an example to illustrate how the spirit soul is different from the body .Just as fire is distinct from the wood it burns ,the soul is distinct from the body it illuminates with consciousness .In the conditioned state ,the spirit soul is compared to fire that is dormant within wood .When the conditioned soul is enlightened ,on the strength of his spiritual knowledge ,he can burn his ignorance to ashes ,just as fire burns wood.
PURPORT
Just as fire is separate from the wood it burns -one is that which burns and the other is that which is burnt -the spirit soul is distinct from the gross body and subtle mind .He is self -manifest and minutely independent.
