When the fifth, or superconscious, state of concentration is attained the true nature of the knower or Spirit (Atman in Sanskrit) is manifested. But at other times the knower appears as identified with the modifications of the mind substance. Sometimes the knower is identified with impulses, good or bad, some- times with emotions, painful or pleasurable sensations, or with the changes of gross body and its diseases. This identification of the spirit (or Atman) with the changes of mind and body ...is the cause of our bondage, misery, and suffering. When the knower of misery and sorrow becomes identified with them, he appears as miserable and sorrowful; but in reality the knower is always distinct and sepa- rate from the object known. 48 CONCENTRATION AND MEDITATION. For instance, when an iron ball is heated in a furnace, it appears red and hot. An igno- rant person looking at it will easily mistake it for fire. The intellect, mind, and body may be compared to the iron ball and intelligence to fire.
