Reading an Englich edition of the commentary of Baladeva on Brahma sutra, I came upon the verse below,

found in Pada 3, Sutra 43; Adhikarana 18

 

after the sutras:

mantra-varnat / api smaryate

 

This verse appears:

 

anur nityo vyapti-silas cid-anandatmakas tatha

aham artho 'vyayah saksi bhinna-rupah sanatanah

 

"The soul is atomic, eternal, is present by consciousness everywhere in the material body, is by nature full of spiritual bliss and knowledge, has a sense of individual identity, is unchanging, is a witness within the body, is eternal, and is different from the Supreme."

- Padma Purana

 

Tarun,

can you give me a translation of this. Best you can. And if you have Baladeva's commentary there can you check to see if this verse is in your edition.

 

ta very much.

bhinna-rUpah sanAtanaH can b interpreted several ways.

Soul is distinct from body = rUpa = external form.

Indeed, perhaps PrabhupAd's most repeated instructed may b extracted herefrom.

The verse is found at 4-4-01

 

It is in the translation of the text for the sutra "Sampadyavirbhavadhikaranam"

 

ie: the liberated soul does not acquire anything new but only manifests its essential or true nature

 

Can I ask, if you have a tranlation of the Govinda Bhasya of Brahmasutra, whose translation is it?

 

I am looking at the English translation by Bhakti Caitanya Swami, but Yati Maharaj of the Yogapith in Mayapura has also just published his English translation of Brahma sutra.

Bhakti Chaitanya Swami is in ISKCON? Is he externally from MahAraSTra?

Is ZrIpAd Yati Mhrj still at Yoga-pith & Chaitanya Math?

Although the latter made some extremely contraversial comments, I learned in Vraj:

"It is not our position to criticize him. I can show you my post aparAdha scars to prove it."
