��506. As the sun is a witness with re- gard to men's actions, and fire burns everything without distinction, and as the rope is related to a thing superimposed on it, — so am I, the unchangeable, intel- ligent Self.
[Sun actions — people do good and bad
deeds with the help ot sunlight, but the sun is un- affected by their results.
Rope etc. — the relation of the rope to the snake is wholly fictitious.
So am I etc. — unconcerned with the activities of the Buddhi. ]
507. I am neither the doer nor do I make others do any action; I am neither the enjoyer nor do I make others enjoy; I neither see nor do I make others see; — I am that Self -effulgent, Transcendent Atman.
[ I am neither &c. — I am free from all activity, direct or indirect.
Transcendent — beyond the range of sense. ]
