यदेव चैतन्यमहं तदेव, तदेव जानाति तदेव पश्यति । तदेव चैकं परमस्ति निश्चयाद् ,गतोस्मि भावेत तदेकतां परम् ॥१॥ तदेवैकं परं तत्वं, तदेवैकं परं पदम् । मयाराध्यं तदेवकं, तदेवैकं परं महः ॥ २ ॥ मुमुक्षूणां तदेवैकं, मुक्ने पंथा न चापरः ।। अानन्दोऽपि न चान्यत्र, तद्विहाय विभान्यते ॥ ३ ॥ 297xdiqur - har
riwa: तदेवैकं परं बाजं, निश्रेयसलकत्तरो ॥ ४ ॥
Meaning:That which is spirit, that which knows and sees, is myself, (I am not the body ). That is the most precious element. Therefore I have concentrated myself in it as sure as any thing. It is the most precious element, it is the best position, it is the fittest object of attainment for noble beings. That is the brightest light, that is the unrivalled path to attain deliverance for those desiring it and there is no other. No where else can one get true bliss. It is the highest bliss. It is the only seed of the everlasting treo of salvation which is ever shining brightly with brightest fruits that are indestructible and full of the highest bliss.
That most imperturable condition of the soul due to complete renunciation, which is obtained as a result of keeping the above mentioned purest feelings, is Nirvana, is the highest attainment, is the highest position, the finest condition, the highest enlightenment of the soul and is the Moksha Tatva.
