Chapter 6 – Neither Hold nor Leave

Janak the Seeker describes nature of the Self:

I am endless like the sky

while this apparent world is like a pot;

This is the truth

it can neither be held or dropped. 6.1

I am like the ocean and

this world is like the waves;

This is the wisdom

it can neither be stored or lost. 6.2

I am like that mother of pearl in which

this world appears like silver;

This is the knowledge

it can neither be embraced or thrown. 6.3

I am in everybody

just as everybody is in me;

This is the ultimate knowing and

it cannot be acquired or ignored. 6.4
