Chapter 4 – Qualities of a Seer

King Janak the Seeker says :

It is true that there is no comparison between
Those self-satisfied, serene seers who play this life drama; and
Those fools who carry problems of this world. 4.1

Surprisingly that tranquility for which even the angels are trying hard;
The Yogi staying in that tranquil state does not even rejoice about it. 4.2

Just as the Sky is not touched by any star though it appears so;
Similarly the Seer is not touched internally by any good or bad deed. 4.3

Nobody is capable of stopping that great soul
who moves wherever life takes him and
who has known that this world consists of the Self only. 4.4

From a blade of grass to the Creator of this universe
among the various types of living beings;
Only a Self-realised person is capable of
living with or without any desire. 4.5

Rarely someone knows him-Self and the world as One, Indivisible;
He does what he knows and is not afraid of anything. 4.6

End of Chapter 4
