21. Because of their intimate connection with the Lord, in such others also (like the Kumaras, etc.) all the attributes of the Lord maybe meditated upon. — 382.

COMMENTARY

«In others», namely, in the Kumaras and the rest, who are always possessed by the Lord, and in whom the God always dwells. In such supremely high Jivas, all the attributes of the Lord may be comprised in meditation. Why? Sambandhat, because of the intimate relation. Such Jivas are so intimately related with the Lord, that they are hardly distinguishable from Him. The Lord has entered into and possessed them so completely as the fire pervades the white-hot iron.

This is the positive view. The author next gives the negative or the prohibition of such meditation.

SUTRA III. 3. 22.

न वा विशेषात्॥३.३.२२॥

na vā viśeṣāt ..3.3.22..

.. Na, not. …, or, … Avisheshat, because of want of difference (between the Kumaras and other Jivas in the matter of Jiva-hood).

22. Or not, because there is no distinguishable feature in them (they are after all Jivas and in no way distinguishable from other Jivas as such). — 383.

COMMENTARY

All the entire attributes of the Lord are not to be combined in meditating on such Jivas. Why? Avisheshat, because there is no distinction between these Jivas and the other Jivas, so far as the quality of Jiva-hood is concerned; in spite of the fact that the Lord is in them and possesses them. The force of the word «or» is to indicate that since these beings are the beloved of the Lord, they ought to be looked upon with extreme respect, but not worshipped as God.

darśayati ca ..3.3.23..

… Darshayati, shows (the Shruti). … Cha. and.
