'Let one meditate on the mind as Brahman' (Chand. III-18-1). Here the symbol (i.e. mind) is not to be meditated as the Self of the meditator. In that meditation the Highest Self is not to be meditated upon. But the mind, etc. have to be viewed as the Highest Self and meditated.
5. Brahmadrstirutkarsaat
The view of the Brahman (in the mind, etc.); is on account of superiority. The Brahman is superior to mind, etc. The meditation on the mind, etc. viewed as the Brahman is for the good of the meditator.
