Shlok 4 Comments The seeker also understands from this verse that body, breath, mind are not real, they are only illusory and our Inner Self is the same Supreme Self. This state of self-realization liberates him from the self-created barriers. The tangible Universe is a modification of mind. It is not perceived in deep sleep because in deep sleep it disappears. The mind is capable of producing numerous tangible forms. All the forms and names are created by the Cosmic Mind. The Cosmic Mind is the total of all Individual Minds, but Individual Mind itself is not capable of leading the person on the path of self-realization. When the Individual Mind does not create barriers, the quality of mind is called Saatwik mind; and when the mind is Saatwik it becomes easier for a person to break the delusion created by the mind itself: "I am small, I am of this form" etc. As long as the person identifies himself with the thoughts, feelings and objects of the mind, he can never establish himself in his essential nature (Aatmaa).
