meditation 74

Realize

that objective cognition

has no source

of its own

but is supportless.

Hence, an illusion.

In reality

it is none other

than the Knower.

You become One

with Shiva (Reality).

Note:

This is Verse 99.

In The Manual for Self Realization (John Hughes, ed.), Swami Lakshmanjoo comments on this important verse, reiterating the primacy of the Knower as Consciousness, which he also emphasizes earlier on in his commentary.  

Jaideva Singh's commentary in his Yoga of Delight, Wonder, and Astonishment, draws upon Abhinavagupta and Jayaratha.

Swamiji and Panitji's original reads as follows:

Verse 99

Realise that objective cognition has no source of its own. It is supportless. Hence an illusion. In reality it is not other than the Knower himself. You become one with Shiva (Reality).
