Who is speaking and story frame
जनिमसत: सतो मृतिमुतात्मनि ये च भिदां
विपणमृतं स्मरन्त्युपदिशन्ति त आरुपितै: ।
त्रिगुणमय: पुमानिति भिदा यदबोधकृता
त्वयि न तत: परत्र स भवेदवबोधरसे ॥ २५ ॥
janim asataḥ sato mṛtim utātmani ye ca bhidāṁ
vipaṇam ṛtaṁ smaranty upadiśanti ta ārupitaiḥ
tri-guṇa-mayaḥ pumān iti bhidā yad abodha-kṛtā
tvayi na tataḥ paratra sa bhaved avabodha-rase
Supposed authorities who declare that matter is the origin of existence, that the permanent qualities of the soul can be destroyed, that the self is compounded of separate aspects of spirit and matter, or that material transactions constitute reality — all such authorities base their teachings on mistaken ideas that hide the truth. The dualistic conception that the living entity is produced from the three modes of nature is simply a product of ignorance. Such a conception has no real basis in You, for You are transcendental to all illusion and always enjoy perfect, total awareness.
