Who has ever succeeded in quieting dvandva (dualities) like ‘I did this; I did not do this’? Know this, and stop worrying about such matters. Become tyaaga-paraayana (inclined towards renunciation). Don’t take any vrata (pledge for asceticism). Don’t have any urge for doing or not doing anything concerning the drishya. The fruit of Gnan is anaagraha (lack of strong urges).
2.
It is a rare Mahapurusha who, seeing the dazzle of society, finds all desires to live, indulge in, or know the interactive world leaving him. (A Gnani has no feeling of having any obligation, obtaining things, having Gnan, or having an individual personality.)
3.
This whole world is sullied with mental, divine, and natural suffering. It is transient. It has no substance. It is worth criticizing and giving up. Realize this, and be at peace.
4.
Is there ever a time or condition when people are not troubled by dualities like the cold-heat, joy-sorrow, etc? So, ignore them, and proceed in life, accepting what comes. Only a person who does this attains success.
5.
Which profound thinker, who hears the conflicting opinions of the Rishis, Sadhus, and Yogis, fails to lose interest in them? Such a person become tranquil.
6.
A person who attains Gnan about the swarup of chaiantya (consciousness) loses interest in the world and develops equanimity; and he helps others to cross over the ocean of this world. Is such a person not a Gnani?
7.
See only the panchabhoota (five elements) in the senses and the sense organs that are the vikaara (distortions) of the panchabhoot. You will immediately become free of bondage, and established in your swarup. (As soon as your focus shifts from the anaatmaa – that, which is not the Atma – the Atma becomes established in its own form, realizing that the anatma is asat – it is not Satya.)
8.
Vaasanaa (avid desires) are the sansaara (interactive world). Give them up. The tyaaga (giving up) of the sansara is possible only by giving up vasanas. The person then becomes aloof from the condition of the body, antahkaran (mind), and the sansara.
