स्थानविशेषात्, प्रकाशादिवत् ॥ ३४ ॥
sthānaviśeṣāt, prakāśādivat || 34 ||
sthānaviśeṣāt—On account of special places; prakāśādivat—like light etc.
34. (The statements about connection and difference with respect to Brahman) are on account of special places; as in the case of light etc.
The statements regarding difference are made with reference to limiting adjuncts only and not to any difference in Brahman’s nature. We speak of light inside a chamber and light outside it, though in reality light is one, the distinction being due to limiting adjuncts. So also all statements about connection are made with reference to the removal of the adjuncts, when connection with the Supreme Self is said to take place metaphorically, even as on the destruction of the chamber the light inside it may be said to be united with light in general.
