sufrea.
does not smell, 4w by which MTh life (the organ
of smell) siofia is impelled (Rest as in the fourth verse.)
9. That which man does not smell by the breath',
but what impells the organ of smell,--know That alone to
be Brahman, and not this that people here worship.
[Norm-1.
Life—The
word in the original, 'pane
may be taken also to mean the organ of smell. Then the
translation will be: What the organ of smell does not
perceive, but what directs the organ of smell to its object,
—know that alone to be Brahman, and not this that they
here worship.
As a general remark on this whole Part, it may be
mentioned that our thought is herein directed towards the
Atman in two ways : (1) by pointing out the Atman as
the conscious entity from which all our organs receive
their intelligence and capacity to function in their
respective ways ; and (2) by directing us to thc Atman as
the seer, the witness, of all the functions of the mind and
the senses. Both these are ultimately identical, but it is
worth while to note the difference in emphasis between
them. ]
