It—That we take any mental concep-
tion for Brahman, is the sign of ignorance,
3. The 'unknown'—This
is not the unknown and
unknowable of the agnostic. The Vedantin calls It the
unknown' as not being the object of knowledge like
objective things ; it is, however, more than the known in
the sense that it is intuited as the innermost Self, 'prati-
bodha-viditam', as will be stated in the next verse.
4. The 'unknown'—Either
objects of the world, or
mental modifications, or AhatIkara (the sense of I ').
The ignorant person has these alone in view when he says
he knows Brahman.]
