SUTRA I. 2. 17.

अनवस्थितेरसंभवाच्च नेतरः॥१.२.१७॥

anavasthiterasaṃbhavācca netaraḥ ..1.2.17..

… Anavasthiteh, on account of non-permanency of abode. … Asambhavat, on account of impossibility. … Cha, and. … Na, not … Itarah, the other.

17. No other being like the reflected Self, etc., is meant by the person in the eye for two reasons: first, because they do not have their permanent abode in the eye, and secondly, it is impossible for them to possess the attributes described in that passage. — 48.

COMMENTARY

The reflected Self, etc., do not always abide within the eye, as a rule, nor the attribute like «conditionless Immortality» is applicable to them.

Note: The reflected Self is seen in the eye, only when another person is near the eye, be this has not permanent abode in the eye. Similarly the Sun, the deity of the eye, does not dwell in the eye, but his rays only dwell therein. So he also has not his permanent abode in the eye. While the Jiva has his permanent abode in the heart, and not in the eye. Thus none of these three can be the person in the eye, for none of them has his permanent residence there. Similarly the attributes like Immortality, etc., do not apply to these. Therefore, it must mean the Supreme Self.

Adhikarana V — The Internal Ruler is Brahman

Vishaya: In the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, we read (III, 7. 18).: «He who dwells in the eye, whom the eye does not know, who rules the eye from within is the Self, the Internal ruler, the Immortal». In that chapter, this Internal ruler is mentioned as dwelling in the earth, the water, etc., and ruling them all from within.

He who dwells in the earth, and within the earth, whom the earth does not know, whose body the earth is and who pulls (rules) the earth within, he is thy self, the puller (ruler) within, the Immortal.

He who dwells in the water, and within the water, whom the water does not know, whose body the water is, and who pulls (rules) the water within, he is thy self, the puller (ruler) within, the Immortal.

He who dwells in fire, and within the fire, whom the fire does not know, whose body the fire is, and who pulls (rules) the fire within, he is thy Self, the puller (ruler) within, the Immortal.

Doubt: Now arises the following doubt:

Is the ruler within, mentioned in the above and similar verses in the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad the Pradhana or the Jiva or the Supreme Self.

Purvapaksha: The Purvapakshin says: «The ruler within is Nature, for sho controls the whole universe’ within, and Because the cause is always found in the effect as interwoven with it. Therefore, the cause is the controller of the effect and as the universe has for its cause the Pradhana or matter, therefore Pradhana is meant in this passage. Moreover, this Pradhana, though non-intelligent, is said to be the Self or Atman, because it is the giver of all happiness, and so figuratively is called Atman, or because it is all-pervading; therefore, it is called Atman; and as it is Eternal, it is very appropriately called the Immortal. Or this ruler within may be a Jiva. Some highly evolved Yogi, who enters easily into the hearts of others, and with equal ease vanishes therefrom, through his occult powers, may very well be called the Invisible Inner Ruler, and the words «Atman» and «Immortal» may also be very appropriately applied to such a Jiva, without recourse to figure of speech. Therefore, the Ruler within is cither Pradhana or a highly evolved Yogin.

Siddhanta: This objection the author answers by the following Siddhanta Sutra, declaring therein, that the ruler within is the Supreme Self and not Prakriti or Jiva:
