11.28.4
kiṃ bhadraṃ kim abhadraṃ vā dvaitasyāvastunaḥ kiyat /
vācoditaṃ tad anṛtaṃ manasā dhyātam eva ca //
4. Of the unreal duality what is and how far is it, auspicious or inauspicious? What is uttered with the tongue as well as what is fancied in the mind is (indeed) unreal.
4. _Of the unreal duality._ V. Of the body which does not always remain in the same state and becomes different and many in kind, what body, to what extent, is good or bad, be it the body of a celestial or of a worm, all being mere modification of Prakriti? What is called celestial and the like or what is regarded self, is all unreal, for the body is not a celestial or Atman.
D. What good or bad, or what extent of it could accrue to that Jiva who is full of wrong notions and does not know the eternal almighty and absolute Lord? All blessings uttered or intended and thought of by the great and good would certainly prove fruitless to him.
