Translation

The notion of ‘I’, ‘mine’, which exists in relation to the body, sense organs etc., which are the non–self, is a wrong attribution. It has to be negated by a wise person by abiding in the Atman.

Annotation

1) ‘the body and sense organs’ – indicate the vital air, mind and the intellect. 2) ‘Wise person’ – refers to a person who has accomplished the three tier process of listening, logical validation and internalisation.
