Commentary (टीका)
This verse asserts the fundamental Vedantic teaching of *tattvamasi* which equates the individual self with the ultimate reality, Brahman. It emphasizes *Brahman* as the substratum of the illusory world, which is conceptually distinct from both being and non-being in its essence. The *sādhaka* is urged to meditate deeply on their identity with this attributeless, inexhaustible, and incomparable reality within. This highlights the non-dual nature of reality and the importance of self-inquiry in realizing one's true nature. The verse suggests overcoming delusions of duality to recognize and internalize one's inherent divinity.
