Upadeśasāhasrī / 13. Acakṣuṣṭva (अचक्षुष्ट्व)

13. Acakṣuṣṭva (अचक्षुष्ट्व)

Summary

Prakaraṇa (प्रकरण) 13 says the self is not an eye. The instrument of sight is not the seer. A verse that refuses the eye is refusing the sense, not describing a medical fact about vision.

नेपालीमा

प्रकरण १३ ले आत्मा आँखा होइन भन्छ। देख्ने साधन द्रष्टा होइन। आँखालाई अस्वीकार गर्ने श्लोकले इन्द्रियलाई अस्वीकार गर्छ, दृष्टिबारे कुनै चिकित्सा तथ्य बताउँदैन।

Not being an eye.
