If [there] he does not speak — then, speaking, he does not speak: for there is no destruction of that power in the speaker, since he is indestructible; but there is no second, nothing else, separate, that might be its object.

The fourth beat: speech. The silence of the depths is no dumbness: "speaking, he does not speak": the power of the word is whole, but there is no second to speak to or about; this is the silence of fullness, not of emptiness.
Beat by beat it is one casting: the faculty is indestructible (avināśitvāt), and only the "second" — the separate object — has disappeared. The depth does not take away powers; it takes away separateness, and in this the repose of the ātman differs from any swoon: there the light goes out, here only the boundaries do.
