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.
