Yajnavalkya Kanda. Adhyaya 4, Brahmana 3. The self-luminous Self: waking, dream, and the light of man
New to these pages?
Each mantra is given four ways: the Sanskrit in its Devanagari script, the same sounds in Roman letters, an English translation set in our own voice, and then the line once more in plain words, for a first and unhurried reading.
Not every passage is opened to the same depth. A few central mantras carry the full cross-school commentary, where the schools are set side by side. The rest are kept here whole and faithful, set in their place but not expounded, so the book stays entire and nothing is dropped for being thought minor.
Where the schools read a line differently, the difference is kept open. None is crowned and none is corrected. Each is met on its own terms, and where they contradict, the contradiction is left standing for you to sit with.
Back from dream to waking
And this one, having rejoiced and roamed in that dream, and having only seen good and evil, hurries back again, by the reverse path, to the very same starting point, the waking state. Whatever he sees there, he is not followed by it, for this person is unattached. "It is just so, Yajnavalkya. I give you a thousand cows, sir. Speak on, for the sake of liberation itself."
After resting and moving about in dream, where again he merely witnesses good and evil, the self returns by the same route to waking (buddhanta). Whatever he saw in dream does not follow or cling to him, because the self is unattached. Janaka agrees and offers another thousand cows, pressing again toward liberation.
In the commentaries
Sankara notes the same lesson repeated across the boundary of dream and waking: the self passes between states yet carries nothing over and is touched by nothing, so its non-attachment holds uniformly in every state.
