329. He who is free even in this body, he is free without a body

also. He who cannot make himself free in this body – how can he be

free when there is no body? So try to be free in this body itself.

 

333. So one who wants liberation must give up following after what is

false – the cause of all bondage and must live in that eternal self

knowing that as his own self; because to stay in Brahman makes one

blissful and takes away the ignorance which is the cause of all pain

and sorrow.

 

334. Therefore do not take much notice of external things because

they increase desires that lead on and on to bondage. There know by

discrimination what is the world. Give up the external and seek the

real self always.

 

336. Who is such a child that shall follow after unreal things (even

while knowing what is real and unreal and being well versed in the

scriptures) to bring his own fall? No one desirous of liberation can

do this.

 

337. There is no liberation for one who is attached to his body. One

who cannot sleep cannot have wakefulness and he who is awake can have

no sleep, because these actions (wakefulness and sleep) are

contradictory.
