________________ The Self Realization Let my lord speak in English tongue ! The Soul Salvation - city is easily approached by marching bravely, along the path of the Saints, without being dejected. The thoughtful repent too much for their inability when they are over-powered by the sense-objects and ill wills (Anger, Pride, Deceit, Greed etc.) They then dispraise (themselves and often look at themselves (disgustfully) hatefully, again rising with the help of the characters (golden, brave deeds) and sayings of the great men, goading the soul to be spiritual. They do not sit still (hault) till they surmount (drive back) the sense-objects etc. by fronting them obstinately, nor they are at ease (stop at) only by repenting. The Soul seekers have undertaken only this tendency of the mind as their support and have been successful at last. This fact must be committed to memory and must be crystalised in the heart by all salvation-seekers.
