Appendix - I Self-realisation

109. To such aspirants true Teacher's preaching,
Inculcates faith, awakens vision; They are inspired by such true teaching,
They deeply think for purification. 110. They give up bias for blind faith,
Self-guiding views, follow precept; Of true Teachers, earn right pure faith,
Where's no discord or party-spirit. 111. Either they have soul-experience,
Attention to it continuous; Or self-existence-conviction,
Internal vision's Faith so glorious. 112. As Faith grows deep, false faith falls down,
Rises right Conduct gradually; Full non-attachment is the crown,
Of Conduct right perpetually. 113. Continuous flow of knowledge pure,
Of one's self-nature unalloyed; Is termed the perfect knowledge sure,
Liberated he is though embodied. 114. A dream of million years ends soon,
When one awakes, so self-knowledge; When shines, goes off one's self-delusion,
Of time eternal, 'tis not strange. 115. Let go the body-infatuation,
And you will not have bondage new; You will not have deed-fruition,
This is Religion's secret true. 116. This true Religion leads to Freedom,
You are image of Liberation, You are undisturbable wisdom,
You are infinite knowledge, vision. 117. Enlightened, pure, full consciousness,
Self-brilliant, home of happiness, What more to say? Have eagerness,
Think deep and you shall realize this.
