The Offering of Distics (Dohapahuda)
183
61. If, inside, the thoughts are soiled, what is the use of austerity, outside?
whoevor you are, fix the Immaculate in your thoughts, so that you free yourself from dirt.
62 That which has fixed on the Immaculate the mind-marcblog towards the (pleasures of the gengos and passions,
that only is the cause of freedom-not all the rest, fourmulas (and) versicles, 63 [f, eating and drinking, o soul, you reach the permanent freedom,
why did the Lord Rsabha ronounce all the bliss of the senses ?
64 Your body, (as) a whore, congumos you continuously, poor man,
while your thoughts have not become immaculate, Identical with the supreme (Self). 65 He whose mind is not irradlated by knowledge, destroying all Imagle Dations,
how can he attain eternal bliss, (even) if he expounds all the (roliglous) Lawa? 66 He in whose mind dwells the supremo Self,-having ronounced all occupations,
ho ultimately reaches the supreme course, having destroyed the eight karmans. 67. Excepting the Self, an abode of virtue, you are meditating another meditation !
(But.) poor man, to those whose composition includea no-science, how can Omniscience accrue ? 68. The Self is solely vision, Omnlaolence; all tho regt is profane.
O yogl. only this is to be meditated on, which is the essence of the three worlds. 69. Tho Self ls made of violon and knowledge; all the rest is a trap.
having known this, o yogi, leave the network of treachery 70. Excepting the Self-the jewel of the universe, if people delight in other thing(6) (they are borotics):
What else can be sald)? Are there horns on the horetic's heads? 71. Excepting tho Self-the jewel of the univerec-poor fool, don't meditato upon something else
for him who really knows the amerald, what is the value of glass ? 72 The Law is obtained by the good maturations, poor man--the Law less by the bad maturations:
the soul who is removed from both thoso, is not reborn.
