(salvation). But he who knows the existence of
God (as separate from matter), he thereby becomes great and is
called
sant
(saint) by the wise. His soul in the body is the same
as in the said five
Koshsas
thereof, i.e., soul is quite different from
the
Koshas.
Thereupon arises the question as to whether an ig-
norant person (who does not know the supreme spirit) attains
God,
i.e., Moksha
(solvation) after death or whether the saint

Moksha;
only a theist who has fully realised God attains
Moksha.

te knowledge created this entire universe (through matter)
all whatsoever exists. After creating the same, He Himself
entered into it, i.e., pervaded it throughout including all beings
(their bodies and souls within). On such pervading, he mani-
fested Himself through both visible and invisible creation. Thus
He assumed two forms, one visible and describable and the
other invisible and not explainable by the tongue. Again in
one from (manifestation) He is self-supporting i. e. has created
