The impressions arising on account of the contact of the mind with the objects known in the waking state are perceived like objects ¹ in memory and dream. So the body, the mind and their impressions ² are different from the Self as they are objects of perception.³ स्वभावशुद्धे गगने घनादिके मलेऽपयाते सति चाविशेषता । यथाच, तद्वच्छ्रुतिवारितद्वये सदाऽविशेषो गगनोपमे दृशौ ॥५०॥ 50. Just as impurities like clouds etc. do not produce any alteration in the naturally pure ether by their ap- pearance or disappearance; so, there is never any alteration in the ether-like Consciousness free from duality negated by the Sruti. ¹ I.e. like those in the waking state. ² Br. U., 2. 3. 6. ³ The meaning is this : as they are objects of perception the body etc. are unreal like dream objects.
