12.7 Thinking of the unthinkable One unavoidably conjures thought. I choose no-thought and remain here. 12.8 Blessed is he who attains this by effort. Blessed is he who is such by nature.
13: Happiness Janaka said: 13.1 The tranquil state of knowing Self alone is rare— even among those who own but a loincloth. I therefore neither renounce nor accept and am happy. 13.2 The body is strained by practices. The tongue tires of scripture. The mind numbs with meditation. Detached from all this, I live as I am. 13.3 Realizing that nothing is done, I do what comes and am happy. 13.4 Yogis who preach either effort or non-effort are still attached to the body. I neither dissociate nor associate with any of that and am happy. 13.5 I have nothing to gain or lose by standing, walking or sitting down. So whether I stand, walk or sit I am happy. 13.6 I do not lose by sleeping nor attain by effort. Not thinking in terms of loss or gain I am happy.
