to this manifested and unmanifested matter. It is supreme and is never
annihilated. When all in this world is annihilated, that part remains as it
is. That supreme abode is called unmanifested and infallible, and it is the
supreme destination. When one goes there, he never comes back. That is
My supreme abode.” The material world is a reflection of the spiritual
world. The material world is temporary or false, but the spiritual world
is an eternal reality.

paraphernalia and after realizing the self to be different from all

his own realization, gives up the three states of wakefulness,
dreaming and sleep.
PURPORT
The three words bhdvadvaita, kriyddvaita and dravyddvaita are ex-
plained in the following verses. However, one has to give up all the non-
duality of philosophical life in the material world and come to the actual
life of reality in the spiritual world in order to attain perfection.
