1156 Stimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 3, Ch. 27
yatha gandhasya bhiimes ca
na bhavo vyatirekatah
apart rasasya ca yatha
tatha buddheh parasya ca
yatha—as; gandhasya—of aroma; bhiimeh—of earth; ca—and; na—no;
bhavah—existence; vyatirekatah—separate; apam—of water; rasasya—of
taste; ca—and; yatha—as; tathi—so; buddheh—of intelligence; parasya—of
consciousness, spirit ; ca—and.
TRANSLATION
As there is no separate existence of the earth and its aroma or of water
and its taste, so there cannot be any separate existence of intelligence and
consciousness.
PURPORT
The example is given here that anything material has an aroma. The
flower, the earth—everything—has an aroma. If the aroma is separated
from the matter, the matter cannot be identified. If there is no taste to
water, the water has no meaning; if there is no heat in the fire, the fire has
no meaning. Similarly, when there is want of intelligence, spirit has no
meaning.
