Guest guest Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Chapter One 16. That perverted man who, even after knowing that worldly objects are deceptive, still thinks of them, is an ass not a man. 17. Even the slightest thought immerses a man in sorrow; when devoid of all thoughts he enjoys imperishable bliss. 18. Just as we experience the delusion of hundreds of years in a dream lasting an hour, so also we experience the sport of maya in our waking state. 19. He is a happy man whose mind is inwardly cool and free from attachment and hatred and who looks upon this world like a mere spectator. 20. He who has understood well how to abandon all ideas of acceptance and rejection and has realized the consciousness which is within the innermost heart--- his life is illustrous. 21. On the dissolution of the body, the consciousness limited by the heart alone ceases to exist. People lament needlessly that the Self is extinct.
