Commentary (टीका)
This verse highlights the Vedantic view of the Self as the underlying reality that is self-luminous (svayaṁ-jyotiḥ) and acts as an infinite observer (aśeṣa-sākṣī). It emphasizes discerning the true Self, distinct from the unreal, through continuous, undivided awareness (akhaṇḍa-vṛtti). The vijñāna-kośa, or the intellect sheath, is the medium through which the Self shines, indicating that one must go beyond mere intellectual understanding to experience the Self's true nature. The guidance here is to affirm this pure consciousness, separating it from transient realities, thus encouraging a deeper realization of one's spiritual identity.
