93. May that pure soul quickly protect me which is like an axe for the destruction of the forest of sin, which is above evil deeds, which is not liable to be transformed into anything else, which has drunk up the sea of attachment, which is filled with the spirit of detachment from the world, which is immune from the diverse kinds of changes (or affections) and which is like an ocean of true happiness.
94. I constantly adore that pure soul with mental equanimity which is free from pain, which is not liable to fall from its high status, which is immune from birth, death and disease, and which is the abiding place of the nectar of pure inborn joy.
95. Apart from the contemplation of one's own soul, all other thoughts are the causes of the dreaded transmigration; the kind of mental gymnastics which distinguishes between meditation and the object of meditation, is only seemingly attractive: knowing this, the wise man becomes engaged in the contemplation of his supreme soul alone, and is easily immersed in the ocean of the nectar of the most excellent joy, that is the innermost nature of the soul-substance.
96. Here and there a soul, whose accumulated merit is beginning to bear fruit, evolves out a longing to give up even the desire for doing good, and quaffing the nectar of its own pure inborn joy
