________________
I am the Soul
We are here for four months to devote ourselves; and to inspire others in their devotion. This penance will be on from this day, to the day of Kartik Pournima Full Moon. This Jnana Yagna - our zealous pursuit of knowledge of the self - will continue non-stop for four months, during which time let us all sacrifice our lowly passions like attachment, aversion, passions and perversions and let our soul emerge lustrous and pure.
It is for this self-purification that we are here to discuss the 'Atmasiddhi Shastra'. In the days to follow, let us unfold the deep knowledge that is bundled into the other couplets.
