तत्र ज्ञानं स्वतः सिद्ध क्रिया कायाश्रिता सती । परैरप्युपलक्ष्येत तयान्यज्ञानमूह्यते ॥ ५ ॥
🌺🌺🌺🌺
Translation :
Of these two, knowing is self-evident [only to the knowing person]; but doing, when appearing in someone's body, becomes known to others as well, and that gives them a means to infer the existence of knowing in the concerned person.
🌸🌸🌸🌸
Commentary:
Only a person himself is aware of his own knowing. No one else can be directly aware of it because it cannot become an object of another person's perception. But one person's doing can also be perceived by another person; the physical form of the doer naturally becomes visible to others. Since such doing is known by others, it can serve as a logical means for the viewer to infer the existence of knowing in the doer, because no doing is possible without first knowing. All sentient beings possess powers to know and to do. God, the ultimate knower and doer, is thus self-evident in each and every being.
