1 Perfection of knowledge, is the Omniscience of God, and leads the knower, to the belief of his Omnipresence. But imperfect knowledge, leads to the belief of the Ego and the Jíva or Living God, as distinct from the quiescent Brahma.
2 Samádhi is described as the continual concentration of thought, by means of which all external objects, and even one’s own individuality is forgotten, and the mind is fixed completely and immovably on the one Being.
3 Note to 24. This is an allegory of the revivification of the torpid body, by means of the solar gleams and heat.
