VIVEKACHUDAMANI 1 85
421. Being iinrtiflled by earthly troubles is the result in question of Knowledge. How can a man who did various loathsome deeds during the state of delusion, commit the same afterwards, having discrimina- tion?
[ Earthly — lit. visible, i. e. those experienced in this life, as opposed to the invisible ones, i. e. those which are to be experienced hereafter. ]

��422. The result of Knowledge should be the turning away from unreal things, and attachment to these is the result of ignorance. This is observed in the case of one who knows a mirage and things of that sort, and one who does not. Otherwise, what other tangible result da the knowers of Brahman obtain?
{^ One who knows does not — The man who
knows the mirage laughs at the illusion and passes b)% but the ignorant man runs after it, mistaking- it for water. To the sage the world appears no doubt, but he knows it to be unreal and is not lured by it. Not so the man of the world. ]
