Translation
Just as the array of clouds, caused by Sun’s brilliance, becomes dominant by concealing the Sun, similarly, the ego arising from Atman conceals the real nature of Atman and dominates by itself.
Annotation
1) ‘Egoism’ – is the sense of identification with the body–mind–complex. 2) ‘The real nature of Atman’ – is the eternal, pure, unbound consciousness (Jagadguru).
