The examination of the three kinds of selfhood begins, and it runs to 5.96. This passage is among the most useful in the book.
Till now ahaṅkāra was an enemy without reservation (3.16, 4.71). Here it turns out to be threefold, and two of the three are good.
The first, the highest: “I am all, I am the Supreme Ātman”.
Note the word acyuta — “unfallen, unshaken”. It is one of the Supreme's names, and it stands here not by chance: the speech is of a selfhood that has recognized itself in Him.
Vaiṣṇava Vedānta, as was said already (2.11, 4.24), reads such an “I” as the denial of identification with the body, not as an appropriation of supreme dominion. The text itself will give the ground for this in 5.95–5.96, where both higher selfhoods are named as to be relinquished at the very top.
For now what matters is this: the book does not demand the destruction of the sense of “I”. It demands the change of its content.
