12. Prakāśastha (प्रकाशस्थ)

Summary

Prakaraṇa (प्रकरण) 12 is standing in the light. Awareness is not lit by something else. What stands in the light, in these verses, is not a second lamp brought up to the self. The self is the light in which the rest appears.

नेपालीमा

प्रकरण १२ प्रकाशमा उभिनु हो। चेतना अरू कुनै कुराले उज्यालो पारिँदैन। यी श्लोकमा प्रकाशमा उभिने कुरा आत्माको छेउमा ल्याइएको दोस्रो बत्ती होइन। आत्मा त्यो प्रकाश हो जसमा अरू देखिन्छ।
