9. It is the soul that is attainable with great pains (_i.e._ the knowledge of which is gained with pains of Yoga), and which being gained adds nothing to our stock (as we are already in possession of our souls); but its attainment is attended with the gain of the supreme soul, than which there is no better gain. (So the Sruti _yalalábhat naparamlabha_. In answer to ‘what gain is no gain’). 10. But ignorance of the soul, stretches the bonds of our worldliness and repeated transmigrations, with their evils growing like the rankest weeds in spring; until they are rooted out by spiritual knowledge. 11. And those who are in easy circumstances in life, lose their souls by viewing themselves only as solid bodies, which rise fastly to view like the dense mirage by light of the sun. (It is easier for a camel to enter the hole of a needle, than for the rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Gospel). 12. It is the particle of self-consciousness, which contains the Meru and the three worlds, like bits of straw in itself. They are as disgorged from it in order to present their delusive appearances unto us. (This answers the question: “what particle hides in it the world as a straw,” and means the mind to be the container of the universe). 13. Whatever is imprinted in the intellect, the same appears exprest without it. The fond embrace of passionate lovers in dream and imagination, serves to exemplify this truth. 14. As the intellect rose of itself with its omnipotent Will at the first creation of the world, so it exercises the same volition in its subsequent formations also, like the sprigs rising from the joints of reeds and grass. (i.e. The eternal Will (Fiat) is productive of all things for ever). 15. The hobby that has entered in the heart, shows itself on the outside also, as in the instance of the whims of children. (The phrases, “the wish being father to the thought,” and “every one delights in his hobby horse,” correspond with the purport of the passage). 16. The iota of the intellect, which is as minute as an atom, and as subtile as air; fills the whole universe on all sides. (The three words _paramánu_, _anu_ and _súkshma_, respectively signify the minuteness of the intellect with regard to its unity, dimension and rarity. Gloss). 17. Though but a particle, yet it is not contained in hundreds of leagues; and being all-pervasive it is infinite. Having no beginning it is measureless, and having no form of itself it is formless. (In answer to ‘what minutiae is immeasurable &c.’). 18. As a cunning coxcomb deludes young girls by their becks and calls and winks and glances. (Quips and cranks and wanton wiles; Nods and becks and wreathed smiles. Pope):— 19. So the holy look of the divine intellect, serves as a prelude to the rotatory dance of worlds, with all their hills and contents for ever (_i.e._ a nod and look of the Almighty, moves the worlds).
