blue-lotus" is used as implying that the two members of the compound
refer to the same subject [Footnote: But __jivatmanau__ is a
__dvandva__, not a __karmadharaya__ compound.]

65. As there are many passages in Sruti such as that which says
"food is Brahman," [Footnote: Brihad Ara.nyaka Upan. v. 12. 1.] so

worship [Footnote: __I.e.__ this is one of the modes of worshipping
Brahman by meditating on him in some lower visible form, not as
really expressing his real nature.]

66. The doctrine of Identity is not true; wherever it appears to be
declared in Sruti, all those passages are to be taken as only
meaning worship.

67. There are many sentences in the ancient Veda which speak for

68. O soul, bewildered by a deceived opinion, drive far from thy
mouth these words "I am Brahman"; how canst thou be That, O thou who
art utterly at the mercy of fate, plunged as thou art in the great
ocean of mundane existence hard to be crossed!

69. He who is the beloved of Lakshmi, the ambrosia-ocean, full of
manifest supreme joy; the water of whose feet is Ganga, worthy to be
worshipped by Rudra and the other gods; who before creation created
all instantaneously by a movement of his brow,--how canst thou say,
O soul, "I am He,"--thou who art a poor beggar, not a king.
