2.2.11
सूर्यो यथा सर्वलोकस्य चक्षुः न लिप्यते चाक्षुषैर्बाह्यदोषैः। एकस्तथा सर्वभूतान्तरात्मा न लिप्यते लोकदुःखेन बाह्यः ॥११॥
Just as the sun, which is the eye of the world, remains unaffected by the external impurities of the eyes, similarly, the Inner-Ātmān of all beings remains untouched by the external sorrows of the world.
Bhāṣya 2.2.11
The inner-vision is the deity, whereas the outer vision lacks consciousness. Similarly, the Supreme Being remains independent of living entities, and is untouched by the miseries of the dependent being.
"सूर्यो यथाऽऽन्तरं चक्षुः प्रतिबिम्बोऽस्य बाह्यकः। बाह्यचक्षुर्गतैर् दोषैः अन्तश्चक्षुर्न लिप्यते॥
"Just as the Sun is the deity of the inner-eye, and his reflection is external. Thus, the inner-eye remains unaffected by the faults of the external-eye.
अन्तश्चक्षुर्देवता तु बाह्य चक्षुरचेतनम्। एवं बाह्यः स्स्वतन्त्रत्वात् जीवेभ्यः पुरुषोत्तमः। अस्वतन्त्रस्य जीवस्य दुःखैर्नैव हि लिप्यते॥"
The inner-vision is the deity, whereas the outer vision lacks consciousness. Similarly, the Supreme Being remains independent of living entities, and is untouched by the miseries of the dependent being."
