Should one aspire for Self-realisation, he should previously have killed out all desires in his mind. 63. When all the desires are destroyed, when all the knots of the heart are rent asunder, then you will attain immortality. 64. There is no way to liberation excepting the denial of the self. 65. When all longings for the fruits of actions cease and the mind looks upon all equally, then Brahmic bliss arises and the Jnana- vision is developed. 66. A man can attain, in a very short time, the highest bliss and be released from the bondage of birth and death for ever, if he has conquered his self, maintains equanimity in all circumstances and if his mind is not disturbed at all at the sight of the most beautiful women. 67. Fight the Mara or Satan with the sword of knowledge. 68. " Oppose, substitute, sublimate. " Oppose a desire. Substitute it by aspiration. Sublime it by meditation. 69. Everything goes to him who wants nothing. 70. He who causes fear to none, nor is himself afraid of anything, he who neither seeks anything nor hates anything, attains SElf- realisation. 71. When one looks upon praise and blame, gold and iron, pleasure and pain, heat and cold, fortunate and misfortune, kindness and unkindness and life and death with an equal eye, it is then he attains Self-realisation. 72. Through the control of desires Atmic enquiry is induced. This Atmic enquiry causes again renunciation of desires. 73. Desire only that which is within you, the Immortal Satchidananda Atman or the Supreme Self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
