"Consciousness, remaining the same, illumines the thoughts of desire, willingness, doubt, belief, disbelief, fortitude, its lack thereof, modesty, understanding, fear and such others." - Verse 4
Excerpt From Commentary:
The thoughts may be of different degrees of intensity. For instance, desire may be just a wish, a need, a longing, a panting hunger, or an overwhelming obsession. All dramas on the stage of life are a complicated intermingling of different thoughts. These are all witnessed by the same Consciousness. The seen is limited, changing, inert, perishable and sorrow-giving. The Seer is free from the nature of the seen. I am the Infinite, Immutable, Eternal Consciousness, and of the nature of Bliss.
Svetasvatara Upanishad says, "Just as it is impossible to roll up space like a piece of leather, it is impossible for man to end sorrows without knowing the Consciousness or Self."
