Bahira-Atman (outer soul).
14. One who knows the Atman (soul) as separate and distinct from the body, as Jnana-Swarup(of the form or nature of knowledge) and well established in perfect tranquillity, is the wise Antara-Atman (the inner soul).
15. He who knows his self, who exists in knowledge, who is free from Karmas—thou with pure belief know Him as Paramatman (God).
16. That Siddha Bhagwan whom the three worlds worship and great gods meditate upon, who has a steady knowledge of all things, tangible and intangible, is the Paramatman (God).
17. He is Nitya (ever-lasting), Niranjana (free from passions and desires), Jnana-Swarup (has knowledge for his form) and Param Ananda (all happy). One who is such is Shanta (calm) and Shiva (perfect). Know thy self as such, and realize it.
18. He who never gives up his Svabhava (nature), and never adopts the Bhava (existence or nature) of another, and knows self and not-self, that is, all the things of the three worlds and of the three times, is the Shanta and Shiva (calm and perfect) God.
19. He who is free from colour, smell, taste, sound and touch, that is, who is free from body and is not subject to birth and death, such a Being is Niranjana.
20. & 21. Know thou that Being as Niranjana in whom Krodha (anger), Moha (attachment), Mada (lust), Maya (deceitfulness) and Mana (pride) do not exist, and who is in no way concerned with meditation and the object of meditation. One who is devoid of virtue and evil, of pleasure and pain, and is free from every sort of defect or blemish, know thou that soul as Niranjana.
22. One who is free from the act and the objects of meditation, from incantations and amulets, also from Mandala (circlet) and Mudra(ring), etc., (all materiał forms and shapes), is Niranjana.
