Vedantasara - Verse 134

Sanskrit

किञ्च प्रत्यगस्थूलोऽचक्षुरप्राणोऽमना अकर्ता चैतन्यं चिन्मात्रं सदित्यादिप्रबलश्रुतिविरोधादस्य पुत्रादिशून्यपर्यन्तस्य जडस्य चैतन्यभास्यत्वेन घटादिवदनित्यत्वादहं ब्रह्मेति विद्वदनुभवप्राबल्याच्च तत्तच्छ्रुतियुक्त्यनुभवभासानां बाधितत्वादपि पुत्रादिशून्यपर्यन्तमखिलमनात्मैव

Swami Nikhilananda's Translation

Moreover none of the items from the son to the void is the Self, because all those fallacious citations of scriptural passages, arguments, and personal experiences in support of them are all nullified for the following reasons: first because they contradict strong scriptural passages which describe the Self as not gross, without eyes, without the vital force, without the mind, not an agent, but Consciousness, Pure Intelligence and Existence; secondly because they are material and are illumined by Pure Consciousness and as such are unreal, like a pot etc., and lastly because of the strong intuition of the man of realization that he is Brahman.
