Translation
When the thought mode is firmly established (in meditation) in the Supreme Self which is pure existence and undifferentiated, such duality is not seen at all. Thereafter it merely remains as a name.
Annotation
‘vikalpa’ – is the knowledge arising from mere utterance of a word though the object itself does not exist (Yoga–Sutra–1–9). It is like in the expression ‘the horn of rabbit’, which does not exist in reality but whose knowledge is caused by the mere expression. On realisation, the identification with the body–mind–complex ceases and they merely remain as verbal expressions (Jagadguru).
