Janaka said:<br />

19.1<br />

With the tongs of Truth<br />

I have plucked the thorn of thinking<br />

from the innermost cave<br />

of my heart.<br />

19.2<br />

Where is meditation, pleasure,<br />

prosperity or discrimination?<br />

Where is duality?<br />

Where even is Unity?<br />

I abide in the glory of Self.<br />

19.3<br />

Where is past and future,<br />

or even present?<br />

Where is space, or even eternity?<br />

I abide in the glory of Self.<br />

19: Repose in the Self<br />

19.4<br />

Where is Self?<br />

Where is not-Self?<br />

Where is good and evil, confusion and clarity?<br />

I abide in the glory of Self.<br />

19.5<br />

Where is sleeping, dreaming, waking,<br />

or even the fourth state?<br />

Where is fear?<br />

I abide in the glory of Self.<br />

19.6<br />

Where is close or far,<br />

in or out,<br />

gross or subtle?<br />

I abide in the glory of Self.
