Appendix I Self-realisation
127. Explanations of doctrines six!
As swords from sheaths so clearly: The self is shown by you distinct, You obliged me immeasurably." 128. Six schools of thought lie in six doctrines, If one thinks deeply in details; The vital truth he ascertains, Undoubtedly, he never fails. 129. There's no disease as self-delusion,
The well-versed doctor's Teacher true; The Teacher's precept's prescription,
Thought-concentration's medicine due. 130. If you hope for Soul-Reality,
True self-effort you must begin; Depending on fate, destiny,
Destroy not self-searching, I mean. 131. By hearing words of view absolute, Let not one give up formal means; Attending to the view absolute,
One should perform all freedom-means. 132. Neither absolute view one-sided,
Nor stand-point practical alone; In this Gospel is emphasized,
But both together are due shown. 133. Sectarian views, self-guiding whims,
Are not right stand-point practical; Nor right absolute view, it seems,
Without self experience, it's oral. 134. There were the seers long ago,
There are in present time alive: In times to come they shall be so,
The path's the same that they revive. 135. All souls are like the perfect ones, Self-knowledge leads to perfection; Auxiliary cause is obedience
To Teacher's word, Jin-condition.
