19. “This other kind of jiva’s life of seven ties (beasts, birds etc.) realises only the pleasure and pain arising from its own body while in it; on the other hand I am endowed with a body fit to be trained with Sama, Dama etc. and by means of the light conferred (on me) by Him, I see the eternal Perfect Person, both within and without, directly perceptible like the being who is invested with Ahankara and is the subject of experiences.
