(samata bhaav) may lead to an error, but the Knower-Seer state (Gnata-Drashta) will impart constant awareness.
There is satisfaction (santosh) in the worldly life, but there is no contentment (trupti). With satisfaction new seeds can be sown. [27] Open and Straightforward
True straightforwardness (nikhalasata; purity) is where there is the Knowledge of the Self (Atmagnan). There is no need to read the scriptures. There is the need to become pure!
An extraordinary person would be one who is helpful to every single living being! Such a person rises above the forces of the non-Self complex (prakruti). Such is the one who attains true liberation!
[28] The Laughter of the Liberated One
The liberated smile (mukta hasya) is the permanent radiance on the face of the completely liberated One (Purush)! The inner tug of war about various things, and the whims of etiquette, keep the smile tensed up. The freedom of a smile is proportionate to the simplicity and fault-free state! Where there is Vitaragata, there is the entirely liberated smile!
[29] Worry: Equanimity
Worries create 'causes' for a life in the animal kingdom.
When the Gnani is sitting, he touches God; while the person who sits near the Gnani, is sitting very close to God! What else can be there, other than pure blissful silence and peace?
[30] Saiyam Parinam
The Lord does not consider external restraints as saiyam.
