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

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

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.

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?

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

great ocean jiva waves naturally
rise and come ,hiting each other ,play and disappear.

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.
