1. I shall tell you now about being wholly 'That' itself. This is
rare to come by, even for yogis. This is the secret of all the
Vedas, of all the scriptures. This is rare to come by, indeed.
10. That in which the actions of speech and body and the eon
itself have ended in dissolution, and in which the manifest
universe is yet unborn - ever abide as That itself.
28. That in which there is neither the terror of hell nor the
treasures of heaven and in which there is no world of Brahma -
ever abide as That itself.
38. That in which no defect has arisen, that which is the place
that is changeless, and in which, indeed, the jiva is destroyed -
ever abide as That itself.
41. That in which I am not, and in which you are not, in which
you yourself are not, indeed, yourself, and in which, indeed,
there is certain peace - ever abide as That itself.
44. That in which, indeed, one himself is, indeed, That itself,
and in which there is no difference between oneself and one's
Self - ever abide as That itself.
52. That in which, indeed, time finds its death, in which yoga
finds its dissolution, and in which Satsang [association with
Truth] ceases to be - ever abide as That itself.
62. Wherein the great Self itself is present, wherein the joys of
joys is present, and wherein, indeed, jnana [wisdom] and
vijnana [knowledge] are present - ever abide as That itself.
68. Leaving aside the body like a corpse, being ever like a
piece of wood or iron, and renouncing even remembrance,
firmly abide only in Brahman as the goal.
