SUTRA III. 3. 56.

व्यतिरेकस्तद्भावभावित्वान्न तूपलब्धिवत्॥३.३.५६॥

vyatirekastadbhāvabhāvitvānna tūpalabdhivat ..3.3.56..

… Vyatirekah, difference, .. Tad, of the meditation. Bhava, of the qualities. … Bhavitvat, because of the existence. .. Na, not. … Tu, surely, … Upalabdhivat, as in the case of knowledge.

56. There is not the perception of the Lord having other attributes than those with which He was meditated upon in life. It is like the realisation of the Lord, according to the nature of one’s conception or knowledge. — 417.

COMMENTARY

The word ‘Tu’ is employed in order to remove the doubt The Sutra declares that in release there is not perception of qualities other than those meditated upon, because the devotee having meditated with certain qualities as belonging to the Lord, the Lord appears to him as possessing those qualities only. For in Heaven, one sees the Lord as having those qualities only, with which he had invested Him in His meditation. It is like knowledge. When a person meditates with a particular kind of knowledge, in obtaining that object he obtains it with that particular knowledge. Namely, in the state of Mukti, his conception of the Lord is realised in the particular form of knowledge with which he had conceived Him on earth. Though the knowers of the Lord are fully conscious, that the object of their devotion has attributes other than those with which they meditate, but as they do not wish to see their Lord with those attributes, so when they reach the Lord in Mukti, they see Him only as they had meditated upon Him, and not otherwise, because they had not so meditated upon. And thus the above Shruti of the Chhandogya Upanishad is justified, for as is the faith of the man in this life, so will be his realisation in the text, otherwise this text would become invalid.

In the next Sutra, the author shows by an illustration that people have different kinds of faith, and reach the Lord in his different aspects, because the Lord so wills it. The illustration is taken from that of the Yajamana and his officiating Ritviks or priests.
