2)son,if you want mukti(liberation)reject sense objects  like poison.forgiveness,Arjava(…………………..),kindness,contentment,truth  practice these like amrutha.

3)you are not earth,fire,air,water,sky.to get  liberated know that  you are witness of these.you are that chidrupa(conscious form)

4)if you go away from body intellect (I am this body sense) and reside in conscious form(chit swarupa) you will get peace  immedeatly.then only you will become joyful,peaceful,,will be relieved by bondage.

5)you does not belong to  Brahmin caste(varna)or any ashramas like celibacy

 (brahmacharya)excetra.you are not seeable to eyes.you are unattached,formless

World witness ,be happy.

6)o lord ,dharma and adharma(good and bad)(religion and nonrelegion ),joy and sorrow   all these are related to mind.not to you.you are neither doer nor enjoyer

You are always free (liberated).

7)you are one seing all.really you are always liberated  to think seer9viewr) as different is your  bondange.

8)you are being bitten by great serpant of “ I am doer”.be happy   by eating of amrutha  of “ I am not doer”.

9)” I am unique (single)  pure consciousness” by burning aii your ignorance in knowledge fire  be sorrowless and happy.

10) where this world is manifest as (expressed as) rope serpent  that itself is  bliss supreme bliss.you are that  bliss ,supreme bliss.you are that consciousness(bodha).be happy.

11)if you think you are liberated you are liberated.if you feel you are bound you are bonded.it is true that one becomes what he thinks.

12)self (atma) is witness,lord,total (purna),one (eka),free (mukta),actionless,(firm)(akriya) unattached(asanga)desireless.(nispruha)peaceful,.by illusion he appears as family holder.

13)rejecting vikaras(ugliness,changes)of outer and inner ,rejecting you are one abhasa(illusion.)

Of ego(ahankara),meditate that you only are firm(kutastha) conscious form,single.

14)son,you are bound by rope of  body pride(dehabhimana)since many periods.be happy by cutting bondage  by sword of knowledge that “I am consciousness”.

15)you are nissanga(non friendly),actionless(nishkriya),self-luminous(sva prakasa),and  unattached(niranjana).to practice Samadhi(trance) itself is your bondage.

16)you only have occupied whole universe.this universe is existing in you only.you  are only  pure-conscious-self form .don’t be mean minded.

17)you are independent (nirapeksha),changeless(nirvikara),………………………………(nirbhara),without any desires.your intellect is amazing.will not be disturbed by anything.you desire that chinmathra only.

18)form is false.formless is true.after following this this advice of philosophy ,no need of taking birth  in this world again.

19)in same way as reflecting thing exists in and outside  of mirror ,god exists in and outside of the

Body.

20)how sky exists in and outside of tne body,in same way  whole(akhanda) brahma exists in all.

Chapter2:

Janaka told-

1)    I am unattached(niranjana),peaceful,pure consciousness,natureless(without prakrithi),so far this time I was imitated by fascination .

2)how I express (manifest)this body,in same way I manifest this world also.there by only this whole world is mine(belongs to me).or not at all related to me even a little.

3)after  refusing universe with my body  I am seing god by knowledge now.

4)how wave,foam(lathe r),bubble,are not different from water ,in same way universe

manifesting from From atma(self)  is not different from atma.

5)when clothe is  analysed  it will be seen as only mere thread,in same way after analyzing this world .

6)how  in sugar prepared by sugarcane juice is dispersed in same way in whole world created by me.

7)by ignorance of atma(self) world is seen.world disappears  after self knowledge.like seing snake

Before rope .disappearence of  snake after seing rope .

8)luminousness (brightness) is my self form.i am not different from it.when world shines who is really shining is myself.

9)as silver is seen shell,as snake is seen in rope as mirage seen in sun light,by ignorance word is seen in me.

10)as how pot goes to soil,wave uniting with water,bracelet(kadaga) disappearing in gold,in same way

World born by me disappears(gets destroyed ) in me

11)o I am wonderful(amazing).namaskarams to myself.i have no destruction.even if everything is destroyed  from brahma to ant  I am not destroyed.

12)0 I am amazing.namaskarams to me only.though  body to me I am single.i come from no where .go nowhere.i have occupied whole world.

13)o I am amazing.namaskarams to me only.no body is efficient like me.though I  am  not touched by body  wearing universe since infinet time.

14)o, I am amazing.amaskarams to me only.i have nothing.or  what is  seen (grasped) by speech and mind is mine only.

15)really  there is no knowledge,knower,to be knowni am unattached self.by ignorance these three

Appear(are Seen).

16)dvaitha is origin(cause) of  great sorrow.all scene is false.i only am  consciousness rasa(bliss).

Amala (dirtless,pure) is only medicine to this sorrow.

17)i am consciousness only.by ignorance  I have undergone to adjunct(upadhi).later criticizing like this

 I am residing in nirvikalpa(changeless.

18)i have no bondage.no liberation.now illusion has lost it’s dependency  has disappeared(maya).o, universe, though in me it is not really in me

19)it is really known that there  Is no my body and universe.self (atma) is only pure consciousness.

Now on what basis can imagination stand?

20)body,heaven,hell,bondage,liberation ,fear are all are all only imagination.to me who is consciousness  form  what is use by this?

21)i am not seing any dvaitha.even mass of people is appearing  like forest.now to which  I am interested?

22)i am not this body.this body is also not mine.this body is also not mine, not mind also.to me desire

Live is cause of my  bondage.

23)o, in my infinet sea infinet great sea  mind  vata(air)many waves of world(bhuvana) arise.

24)in my great ocean when mind vata(air) comes down  luckless businessman called jiva  moving on this

And ship called world gets destroyed.

25)in my infinite  great ocean jiva waves  naturally rise and come ,hiting each other ,play and disappear.

Chapter 3:

1)after principally knowing you are indestructible ,single atma (self) bold self knowledge person

How will you get interested in earnng money?

2)desire takes birth  by illusion of silver in shell, by ignorance of atma  desire for sense objects arise.

3)like waves arising in  ocean,in same way  after knowing wave of world arises  why are you running

Like deena(poor).

4)even after knowing atma is pure chetana(spirit),very beautiful  being controlled by lust(kama)

How will one gets destroyed!

5)even after knowing atma(self) in all anlmals(panchabhuthas,five elements,),after knowingall animals in atma,it is wonder that feeling of ‘myself and mine’(mamatva) exists.

6)residing in supreme advaitha  desiring for liberation ,under control of lust,engaging in sex(keli)punishment is wonder.

7) although knowing lust(kama)  is big enemy of knowledge ,though in old and weak   interested in sex play is wonder.

8)though disinterested (dejected) in  pleasures(fruits) of  this and other (heaven) world ,though having known  temporal(temporary) and eternal(permanent),though desirer of liberation(mumukshu),fear of liberation is wonder.

9)to him who is seing atma(self) always  wheather others respect or disturb ,he will not be either satisfied or angry.

10)great jnani even though his body is working,thinks as though it is others body.there how can he be

Disturbed by comdemnation(ninde) and appreciation.

12)being satisfied in atma(self) knowledge ,desireless(nirashi),selfishless(nispruha) great soul(mahatma) can be compared with whom?

13)bold (person) who knows all scence are illusion  how can he feel that one should be

over come(renunciate)  desire and hatred .

6)people who see oneself as self(atma) and world lord(jagadeeshwara)are very rare.he

does what he wants(feels).he has no fear of anybody.

Chapter 5:
