When he completely merges his self. Endeavour for equanimity,
Cast off attachment
And have love for thy own true self.
Cidananda says,
When one immerses in love
All doubts vanish away.
22
Objects of senses are like moon-beam dim,
The Self in its pristine state
The radiant sun,
And emotions are like clouds dark.
Wake ye,
Cast aside thy mundane cloak
Thy aspirations
That have made a slave of thee.
Cast off attachment
And know the state eternal.
Says Cidananda,
And thereby know
The bliss of thy true Self.
23
The mind of one
Who hath not realised his Self Is not constant like a pipal leaf. Ye have studied the Vedas
But oh fool, these are useless
Unless ye have the realisation. The spoon ever remains in the pan Full of juice
But it hath never tasted it.
So is he who hath only Acquired bookish learning. His learning is but a burden Like that of an ass.
Says Cidananda,
The way of Spiritualism is one Of total merger into it.
