The Self Realization
Enlightened, pure, full consciousness, Self-brilliant, home of happiness, What more to say ? Have eagerness, Think deep and you shall realise this. 117
You are pure, enlightened, sentience-embodiment, self-luminous, abode of eternal bliss. What more should we say in this connection ? To be brief, think deep and realize your Self. On realizing the self, the Self is eternally pure. free from all actions and therefore holy. As it is knowledge itself it is powerful to know everything else. It is the sentience-embodiment, free from any relation to the material body. The Self has moved from body to body in the mundane journey but in none of the births the Self has changed itself into the material body. No part of the Self separates from it. Therefore it is one and impartite. The self's light of knowledge is eternal, all-pervading and bringing to light everything else. Bliss is the nature of the Self alone. The bliss experienced and enjoyed by the enlightened soul comes from its own Self and not from any extraneous source. The Self is bliss indestructible. The powers of the Self are infinite and cannot be exhaustively described. The Self can be realized by deep thinking and meditation, by aspiring for it alone, by sincere hankering for it, by concentrating our interest in it.
In the above discourse the enlightened Guru has completed his say on all six questions raised by the disciple. Mere hearing or talking about Liberation is not enough. One gains only by acting up to the advice and teachings of the enlightened living Guru.
निश्चय सर्वे ज्ञानीनो, आवी अत्र समाय ।
धरी मौनता एम कही, सहजसमाधि मांय ॥११८॥ Nishchaya sarve jnanino, avi atra samaya, Dhari maunata ema kahi, sahaja samadhi maya. 118
