with the external foes ? One who conquers one's own self by one's own self alone experiences supreme bliss.
- Utta. Sü. 9.35
7. One must conquer one's own self, for difficult it is to
conquer it. One who does so, is fortunate in this world and will be so in the next.

8. He who knows the one ( the self ) comprehends every
thing, and he who comprehends all, knows the one ( the self).

Dharma abides in him. It is only the pure who attains emancipation like fire fed with ghee.
