Commentary
The liberated sage or a Jnani always remains as a witness of the activities of the senses as he identifies himself with the Self or Brahman. He thinks and says? I do not see the eyes perceive. I do not hear the ears hear. I do not smell, the nose smells, etc. He beholds,inaction in action as he has burnt his actions in the fire of wisdom. (Cf. XIV.1923)
