## Āturpratyākhyānaprakirṇakam Gā. 26, 27
**25.** It is asked, "In what actions should the self be considered the support?" The answer is: The self, which constantly goes through various births, is the support in my knowledge and the object of knowledge. "Hu" (meaning "let it be clear") is the remainder. The self is also the support in my right view, conduct, and renunciation, as well as in the form of knowledge of the devotees, in restraint, in yoga which is the form of acceptance of all non-violence, and in the form of proper mental, verbal, and bodily activities. Because these knowledge, right view, and conduct are achieved with the help of the self, and they are never separate from the self. Therefore, in the previous verse, "My support is the self," the self is considered the support of these as well.

**26.** Having abandoned all external and internal conditions, one should contemplate the oneness of the self. One being wanders, devoid of family, wealth, etc., to another existence. One is born. One dies. One becomes pure and free from karma.
**26.** One being wanders, devoid of family, wealth, etc., to another existence. One is born, in the form of humanity, etc. One dies. One becomes pure and free from karma. Although the wandering to another existence and death have the same meaning, they are mentioned separately to emphasize the oneness of the self and to explain the meaning of the individual for those who are unfamiliar with this teaching.
**27.** One is my eternal self, endowed with knowledge, right view, and restraint. The rest are external conditions, all marked by attachment.
