Ātmabodha- Verse 4 - Atma - 4-Avacchinna ivājñānā

Ātmabodha – Self-Knowledge – Verse 4 « »

अवच्छिन्न इवाज्ञानात्तन्नाशे सति केवलः।
स्वयं प्रकाशते ह्यात्मा मेघापायेंऽशुमानिव।।4।।

Avacchinna ivājñānāttannāśe sati kevalaḥ.
Svayaṃ prakāśate hyātmā meghāpāyeṃ’śumāniva..4..

4. The Soul appears to be finite because of ignorance. When ignorance is destroyed the Self which does not admit of any multiplicity truly reveals itself by itself: like the Sun when the clouds pass away.
