yadi - if; sma - ever; paÅ›yati - he sees; asat - impure; indriya-artham - sense objects; nÄnÄ - of their being based on duality; anumÄnena - by the logical inference; viruddham - refuted; anyat - separate from true reality; na manyate - does not accept; vastutayÄ - as real; manīṣī - the intelligent man; svÄpnam - of a dream; yathÄ - as if; utthÄya - waking; tirodadhÄnam - which is in the process of disappearing.
A sane person can clearly distinguish between a dream experience and his real life. Similarly a manīṣī, or intelligent person, can clearly perceive polluted material sense objects to be creations of the Lord’s illusory energy and not factual reality. This is the practical test of realized intelligence.
