Sri Janaka says: First I
developed indifference towards actions performed by body then I became
indifferent to actions performed by speech. Now, I have become indifferent to
all sorts of anxieties and stay as I am. 1
Unattached to sound and
other senses and knowing that Self is not an object of sight, I remain free of
disturbances and focused as I am. 2
Seeing the transitions
between abnormal states of incorrect perception and the meditative states as a
(natural) rule, I stay as I am. 3
O seer of God, away from the
feelings to store or to leave and without any pleasure or pain, I stay as I am.
4
Looking at the various stages of life and
their absence, rules accepted and prohibited by mind and such options, I stay
as I am. 5
Being aware of the ignorance
in performing rituals and knowing the Truth properly, I stay as I am. 6
While thinking about the
Unthinkable, we ponder over our thoughts only. So abandoning that thought, I
stay as I am. 7
He who follows thus gets
liberated. One whose nature is like this gets liberated. 8
