कण्ठचामीकरन्यायः (kaNThacAmIkaranyAyaH)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
प्रत्यगात्मतया तस्य प्राप्तत्वेऽपिच सर्वदा। कण्ठचामीकरन्यायात् तत्प्राप्तिरुपचर्यते॥ 'Cāmīkara' means gold. Secondarily any golden ornament is called Cāmīkara! It also means golden chain put around the neck. A stupid person has no idea about the golden chain he has put on. Similarly, a person, though Brahman from the ultimate point of view, does not realize it, owing to ignorance only. A teacher can make him realize it. Though Brahman is indirectly realized through understanding, the real nature of the individual soul
the self as it were is not realized owing to the influence of Māyā. It is the advice of the preceptor which advises him to realize it inwardly.
