SOURCE OF ILLUMINATION
71 (186) The pure soul is free from activities of thought, speech and body. He is independent,infallible and fearless. He is also free from mineness, attachment and delusion.
(187) The pure soul is free from complexes, attachment, blemishes, desire, anger, pride, lust and all other kinds of defects.
(188) The state of pure knowership is neither vigilant nor non-vigilant. (because vigilant means .. absence of passions and non-vigilant means presence of passions). The knower self is called pure, because it is only knower and nothing else.
(189) The soul is neither the body,nor the mind nor the speech, nor their cause. Nor is he doer, nor the cause of action nor the approver of action.
(190) After knowing that the pure soul is different from everything else, is there any wise man who says "this is mine"?
(191) I am alone,really pure and free from attachment. I have the faculties of apprehension and of comprehension. Being steadfast in concentrating the real nature of self I discount all those forms that are alien to me.
