Often he spoke to himself from a Chandogya-Upanishad the words: "Truly, the name of the Brahman is satyam verily, he who knows such a thing, will enter the heavenly world every day." Often, it seemed near, the heavenly world, but never he had reached it completely, never he had quenched the ultimate thirst.
Words are maya where they are merely sounds and finite, they are satyam where they are ideas and infinite. Our self is maya where it is merely individual and finite, where it considers its separateness as absolute; it is satyam where it recognises its essence in the universal and infinite, in the supreme self, in paramatman. This is what Christ means when he says, "Before Abraham was I am."
So in the freedom of our will, we have the same dualism of appearance and truth our self-will is only the appearance of freedom and love is the truth. When we try to make this appearance independent of truth, then our attempt brings misery and proves its own futility in the end. Everything has this dualism of maya and satyam, appearance and truth.
Moreover, the daharakasa-section ascribes to the small ether other attributes which cannot belong to the individual Self even 'when its true nature has manifested itself. The small ether is there called a bank and support of all worlds; and one of its names,'satyam, is explained to imply that it governs all sentient and non-sentient beings.
