Stanza 37

The yogi attains that eternal Supreme atman whether he is self a restrained ascetic or not,whether he possesses much wealth or not,whether he is active or inactive.

Stanza 38

The yogi attains that eternal Supreme Atman which is not the body,senses,mind,intellect or ego.Neither is it the 5 uncompounded elements nor the 5 gross elements nor of the nature of space.

 

[renuka]

Stanza 39

When the yogi attains that Supreme Atman,he transcends the injunctions and prohibitions of the scriptures.There is no idea of purity or impurity nor can any evil thought arise in the undifferentiated mind of the yogi.Anything forbidden to others is permissible to him because he is beyond all rules.

Stanza 40

The mind is unable to grasp Brahman and speech is unable to express It--what to speak of the instruction of the guru.Indeed Brahman is entirely revealed unto him who has assimilated the instruction of the guru who declared that Truth.

Truly how can I say that Brahman has desire or that It is desireless? How can I say whether It is attached or unattached?How can I say that It is unreal or that It is devoid of substance?I am Existence-Knowledge-Bliss and boudless as space.
