Okay,

So it is the mind.

Our mind is porous.

Our mind is very thin.

It has that quality of reflecting.

For example,

Sun is shining equally on the tree outside and sun is shining equally on this lake outside.

But I can see the sun's light.

In fact,

The sun's full.

A mini sun in that lake but I can't see that mini sun on the tree.

Why?

The quality of transparency is only in certain whatever objects.

Similarly,

Our mind has the quality of transparency.

Get it?

So if your mind is full of ripples and lake waves and turbulent,

You will not be able to see the pure consciousness.

You will not be able to know the lower.

But if you have a calmer mind,

A more sattvic mind,

Then you can see.

It does not mean that the sun is different.

No,

No,

No.

It means that the quality of my mind is not pure enough,

Not good enough to see the sun or reflect the sun.

Get it?

So it's the mind that is reflecting the sun.

The aspect of the mind specifically that identifies and says I is ego.

That's why they have singled out ego in this scripture.
