Sūtra translation
On account of His merging into Himself.
“ That is whole, this is whole, from the whole issues the whole, the whole being taken away from the whole, (still) the whole remains (Br. U. V. i-l.) “ He takes out self from self, merges self into self and becomes only self.” The glorious Lord, who is.superior to and different from the persons of the world, and unlimited by the three qualities, shows himself as many, and again the unblemished Lord, the first cause becomes the individual one and goes to rest. Thus there is the scriptural declaration of His (Atman’s) withdrawing Himself into self. For it cannot be that the pure Lord merges into the qualified Atman. And in no part of scripture is anything to the con- trary said.
