| 9. The ear the
eye and the touch, the taste and the smell, using these and the manas, he
enjoys the senseobjects, Using the manas along With each sense separately,
the Dweller in the body enjoys the senseobjects such as sound. The Self
is visible only to the eye of knowledge. Him who departs, stays and enjoys,
who is conjoined with gunas, the deluded perceive not; they see, who possess
the eye of knowledge. Him who thus dwells in the body, who leaves the body
once acquired, who stays in the body, who perceives sound and other objects,
who is always in association with gunas, i.e whom all dispositions of mindsuch
as pleasure, pain delusioninvariably accompany, the deluded do not recognize.
They do not see Him, though in this way He comes quite within the range
of their vision, because they are deluded in various ways, their minds being
forcibly attracted by the enjoyment of objects seen and unseen. Ah ! such
is human perversity.Thus does the Lord regretBut those whose wisdomeye t
has been opened by an authoritative source of knowledge, i.e who possess
the power of discrimination, do recognize Him.No selfknowledge without Yoga.
