Matter is a form of work like the awareness

70) Shaktinirodhakriyaabhramadravyam na anubhavaat kartuh.

(If you say that even the matter is an illusion created by the work of resistance of force in atoms, it is negated, due to experience of entity).

In atoms lot of space exists as per science. In fact, the solid matter consisting of packed atoms is only full of vacuum and hence the experience of solid state of matter should be the experience of the vacuum only. But the experience of solid state is quite different. When you put the finger, actually the finger should penetrate in to the solid state due to lot of vacuum existing in the closely packed atoms. But the finger does not penetrate into the solid state, which is quite opposite experience. The reason for the non penetration of finger is not due to absence of vacuum in the atoms. The highly revolving subatomic particles in the atoms create resistance-force, which does not allow the finger to penetrate in to the vacuum. Due to this an illusion is created to the observer, so that the observer thinks that there is no vacuum at all in the solid state. Hence, the solid state of matter is the effect of the work of resistance only. Now, this concludes that even the matter is a form of work like the awareness. In such case the matter should not be an entity or working element like the awareness. All this is the argument of opposition to establish
awareness also as an entity like matter or to establish matter also as work or non entity like awareness.

The answer for this opposing argument is given like this: Even though the solid matter is the form of work of force or inert energy like the awareness, the result of the illusion created by such work is ending in experiencing the matter as an entity. Such experience of entity is not the result in the case of awareness even though awareness is also a form of work like solid matter. Hence, due to the difference between the experience of awareness and solid matter in the end, you cannot treat awareness as an entity like solid matter. Hence, the opposition is negated.

For awareness the worker is the inert body only

71) Jnaatrukarturanubhavo jadasharirasya .

(In the case of awareness, the entity or worker is the inert body of the living being as experienced).

When you are experiencing the awareness as the work and not as an entity, for work, there is always a simultaneous requirement of its worker or entity. Now in the case of awareness being experienced as work, what is the worker that is experienced? As per the experience, the entity of awareness that is experienced is the gross body of the living being. When a human being is aware of something, the entity or worker or working element is the inert human body itself. Hence, the above sutra is a support for this concept because the inert solid matter being experienced as entity is now correlated here to experience the inert solid matter, which is the human body in this case. Hence, the matter stands as a perfect entity in the experience of the relative world.
