Sri Janaka says: The inherent
quality of having nothing is hard to attain, even with just a loincloth. Hence
I exist in pleasure at all times abandoning both the feelings of renunciation
and acquisition. 1
Actually, there exist no
pain due to body, no pain due to speech, no pain due to mind. Abandoning all
the efforts, I exist pleasantly in all situations. 2
No action is ever committed,
in reality. Understanding thus I exist pleasantly in all situations by just
doing what is to be done. 3
Yogis, attached with their
bodies think in terms of doing or avoiding certain actions. This causes
bondage. But I exist pleasantly in all situations abandoning the feelings of
attachment and detachment. 4
I, actually, concur no
benefit or loss while taking rest, moving, sleeping, sitting, walking or
dreaming. Hence I exist pleasantly in all situations. 5
I lose nothing by sleeping
and gain nothing by action or inaction. Hence I exist pleasantly in all
situations abandoning the feelings of joy and sorrow. 6
I understand by experience
that pleasure and pain come and go again and again. Hence I exist pleasantly in
all situations abandoning the feelings of auspicious (good) and inauspicious (bad).
