And on account of distinctive qualities (apprehended in the individual selves and the Highest Self).
Everywhere in the context the distinctive qualities of the individual selves and the Highest Self are stated. The individual self is referred to in the scriptural text--- ' The wise one (Vipas'cit) is not born nor dies' (Kath. I-2-18). The Highest Self is referred to in the following texts-
- (1) 'He is more minute than the minute and more
huge than the huge' (Kath. I-2-20).
- (2) ' The Great and All-pervading Soul' (Kath. I-2-22).
- (3) ' This Self is not to be obtained by teaching '
(Kath. I-2-23).
