synopsis
Reader of the sutra: Ma Yoga Taru, also chanting.
Hindi part:
(Translated as in Finger Pointing to the Moon on CD-ROM)
The sutra
The one who has the attribute of being the embodiment of maya, illusion, who is the source of the universe, who has the characteristics of omniscience etcetera, and is the embodiment of indirectness, multiplicity and truth etcetera, is known by the word tat -- 'that'.
The one who seems to be in support of the 'I' as an experience as well as a word and who is experienced as separate from the conscience, is called by the word tvam -- 'thou'.
There are two attributes: maya, illusion, to the universal soul, and avidya, ignorance, to the embodied soul. On abandoning the two, what is seen is the perpetually true, conscious and blissful param brahma -- the ultimate supreme reality.

The sutra
The supreme self is formed by the word "that" which has maya, illusion, as its disguise -- which is the source of the world, which is invested with the quality of omniscience, omnipresent, et cetera; which is mixed with the indirectness, and which is reality itself.
And that which is the shelter of the I-experience, and of the word "I" and whose knowledge about his own inner being is false, is called by the word "thou" -- twam.
The supreme has maya, or illusion, as its disguise, and the self has ignorance as its disguise.
Being shorn of them, only the supreme self remains, which is indivisible: satchidananda -- existence, consciousness and bliss.
