Part XIV: Liberation.1587<br />

Egoism having disengaged itself from the body, and having been dissolved<br />

in the light of Supreme Self, the mind stands in a blissful state wherever it<br />

goes, whatever it directs itself to.<br />

Drgdrsyaviveka.<br />

The native form of the subject, highly transcendent, self-illumined for<br />

once and for ever, unborn, one, immutable, unconditioned, all-pervading,<br />

without a second;—I am this, the ever liberated word of glory.<br />

Upadesasahasri.<br />

He has had a dip in the holy waters of all sacred rivers; he has given the whole<br />

earth in pious gift; he has offered a thousand sacrifices; he has satisfied all<br />

the gods in heaven; he has lifted his ancestors out of the circle of birth and<br />

death; he deserves worship of all the three worlds;—the man whose mind<br />

has, even for a moment, tasted of peace in the absorbing idea of Brahman.<br />

Miscellaneous.<br />

Neither love nor hate; neither ambition nor illusion; neither pride nor<br />

the least tinge of jealousy; no good, spiritual or temporal; no desire;<br />

no liberation;—I am none of these, I am all Bliss, the Bliss of All Eternal<br />

Consciousness. Holiness or unholiness; happiness or misery; incantation<br />

or holy pilgrimage; scripture or sacrifice; none of these belong to me; not<br />

even the enjoyed, the enjoyer, or the sense of enjoyment; I am all Bliss, the<br />

Bliss of All Eternal Consciousness. Death I fear not; caste I respect not; father,<br />

mother, nay even birth, I know not; relatives; friends I recognize not; teacher<br />

and pupil I own not;—I am all Bliss, the Bliss of All Eternal Consciousness.<br />

Śankaracharya.
