permanently in their pure self-consciousness in the past and present and also will do so in future - such valour arouses in us a sense of joyful wonder.
Life and death are equal to those great persons who have considered and seen the contact of a body to the soul or self in it as the contact of a sheath to a sword kept in it or the contact of a cloth to a body covered by it as the contact of a living body to the self staying covered in it- these great saints have actually experienced the self as eternally present in every living being, as unbounded and free.
To the highest kind spiritual saint who brought to our light the pure lustre of the unimaginable self substance as pure consciousness or sentience and who helped us to confirm it as natural and easy self in each one of us, we offer our extreme gratefulness.
The moon shines over the whole world without at any time being or identifying itself with the world, so this pure self the illuminator of the whole world does not become one with it, it always remains independent of all other things and always as pure sentience. The living human being wrongly believes in his identity with or indifference from the body and the world around in which he lives.
As the world cannot enter the sky and the sky is free from all aspirations present in it as the persons with right understanding have directly seen the pure self as totally unaffected by all modifications of a living being and totally separate in nature from that of all other substances.
One whose existence is not caused by any other substance, how can it have any destruction only by ignorance and by sloth about one's own true nature, the self has the wrong understanding that it will one day die, and this misunderstanding the all knowing saint removes and becomes self conscious of his pure eternal nature

and lives quite fearlessly and freely at all times and looking at everything else from the lustre of his own self he finds his likeness in other selves and taking away his mind from all other objects he enjoys sorrowless quiescence.
Salutations to the great lordly saints who have realized complete mergence in their pure selves the embodiment of highest happiness enjoying highest peace and pure conscious self meditations for all time.
I am in all ways different from all and every other thing. I am absolutely pure self-experience pure sentience. The highest and the best above pure happiness beyond any thinking or reflection, To such a being how can anything obstruct? How can doubts disturb it? How can any fear frighten it? How can any sorrow touch him? How can it have any other state or stage of experience. I am only doubtless pure, pure, highly pure, completely quiet sentience. I am free from all imaginary idea about myself. I always live as myself. I am one with myself.
Peace, Peace, Peace.

Let the eternal religion the best of all religions the religion which is like the highest nectar, which has been decided by Shrimat nonattached divine lords a religion which is unimaginable and yet the highest thought jewel, the highest benefactor, highly unique or unprecedented, the final remover of all pains and miseries be victorious in all times.
