Commentary (टीका)
This sloka underscores the persistent nature of the ego, symbolized as the 'great ego', even when it is seemingly uprooted. It suggests that the ego, when slightly remembered by the mind ('cetasa'), has the potential to revive quickly and cause multiple distractions ('vikṣepaśataṁ'), similar to how a cloud can reform in the sky with the onset of the monsoon ('prāvṛṣi'), assisted by winds ('nabhasvatā'). The metaphor of the cloud depicts how the ego, though dissipated, can rapidly return and cause disturbances in one's mental clarity and composure. This highlights the need for sustained awareness and mindfulness to keep the ego in check, preventing it from invoking disruptions in spiritual practice. The verse further sheds light on the subtle workings of the mind and the vigilance needed to maintain inner tranquility.
