Meaning
The commentary says Vasiṣṭha now marks out two kinds of beak-learned by their signs. The first is this: one who regards the Self, the reality resting in the space of awareness in the heart, as something harmful, that is, who takes the fruit of knowledge to be a misfortune. He hears that liberation means the end of the separate self and recoils from it as a loss.
