"**Tapa:** (austerity) heard, etc., even if one is active, one is stained. But one who is free from attachment and ignorance, even if inactive, is not stained. || 4 ||"
**Jnanasar, Nilapeshtak.** "The wise ones, who are poisoned by desire, cut off the knowledge-giving (path). Do not be afraid of sorrow, for it gives the fruit of humility. || 3 ||"
**Jnanasar, Nishsprihaashtak.** "The objects of the senses, which are combined with the self, are experienced through the transformation of pure consciousness, without any change in the self. || 7 ||" "The darkness of ignorance is destroyed by the light of knowledge, which is touched by the wise. The yogis see the Supreme Self, which is within themselves. || 8 ||"
**Jnanasar, Vidyaashtak.** "The knowledge of the wise, which is the greatest of all, is always happiness, which is superior to worldly happiness. || 2 ||" "There is nothing to be hidden, nothing to be planted, nothing to be abandoned, nothing to be given. There is no fear for the sage who sees with the eye of knowledge. || 3 ||" "Taking up the single weapon of Brahma, the sage, who is not deluded, does not fear battle, like a king on his throne. || 4 ||" "The peacock of knowledge, which is the eight-fold path, conquers the forest of the mind. It does not fear the snakes, for it is the abode of joy. || 5 ||" "The weapon of delusion is broken by the armor of knowledge. Just as the poison of a snake is destroyed by the antidote, so too is the fear of death destroyed by the knowledge of the self. || 6 ||" "The foolish, who are light and heavy, are tossed about by the wind of fear. But the hair of the wise does not tremble, for they are heavy with knowledge. || 7 ||"
