The Seer continues explaining our true identity:
A Blessed person with pure intellect
gets freed even by a normal discourse;
But someone curious in outside things
just remains that for whole life. 15.1
Indifference to objects of this world is freedom
Interest in any object is the bondage;
Realise Understand this and the
Do whatever you like. 15.2
Realisation of the Self makes
An orator silent, an activist quite and
An ambitious person desire-less;
Therefore those interested in this World
Avoid Self-Realisation. 15.3
You are neither this body nor this body is yours;
You are neither doer of things nor bearer of results;
You are like a hope-less burning light witnessing all
this.
Therefore live happily. 15.4
Liking Disliking are qualities of the mind
And this mind is never yours;
You are choice-less, form-less witnessing Self only.
Therefore live happily. 15.5
Having understood that
Everybody has same Self as your-Self is
Drop your ego and feeling of ‘mine’
And live happily. 15.6
There is no doubt that you are consciousness
in which this world appears like waves in the ocean;
Therefore remain cool like the ocean. 15.7
O Dear ! just trust your-Self
Not anything else
Your-Self is supreme knowledge
And is beyond your apparent nature. 15.8
Filled up with many powers
This body takes birth, rises
And finally dies; But this
Self is neither born nor dies
Then why worry for this body? 15.9
Even if this body stays here for ever or
dies just now or is born again;
There is no loss or gain for you
Because you are a witness of all this. 15.10
In the endless ocean of your-Self
This world, which comes and goes like waves of the
ocean
Causes no gain or damage to your-Self. 15.11
O Dear ! You are just pure awareness and
This world is not different from you;
Then how, where and whom
you can leave and hold in this world. 15.12
In the indivisible, spotless, endless, calm
and sky-like awareness of your-Self;
How can there be birth, death, actions
and even this Ego. 15.13
Whatever wherever you see is a reflection of your-Self
only;
Just as gold ornaments like bracelets, armlets,
anklets
are not be separate from the gold they are made of ?
15.14
Drop such identifications like
I am that or I am not this;
We are all made of this Self only
With this understanding
be desireless and live happily. 15.15
This world looks meaningful due to your ignorance
Otherwise your-Self alone is the most important;
Nothing exists without your-Self
Whether of this world or the other one. 15.16
This world is just an appearance
like a dream and nothing else.
Having understood this certainty
One becomes desire-less, spontaneous and peaceful.
15.17
Like the endless ocean
You Alone were, are and will be;
You are neither bound nor free
Thus neither doing nor avoiding any work
Live happily. 15.18
Being just a witness like pure light
Do not trouble your mind
with targets and choices;
Filled with joy of your-Self
Stay cool and happy. 15.19
Stop thinking, meditating about everything
Keep nothing in your mind;
Your-Self is already free as such
What will you get by thinking? 15.20
