It’s perception that’s Supreme.
16
It’s how Brahman dwells in all
Till He ends all what that keeps.
17
He’s the Light that leaves no shade
He’s the One for one to know
He’s the Goal of all learning
He’s the Tenant in every heart.
18
It’s the knowable of the frame
Me who worship come to grasp.
19
Spirit ’n Nature, ageless both
Nature of beings, of Nature born.
20
It’s Nature that tends beings
Binding Spirit to one’s own acts.
21
Spirit that lay in beings all
Inclines to one’s attitudes,
With the ethos it imbibes
Tends it one to like rebirth.
23
Gets one freed, as he grasps
Aspects Nature ’n Spirit as well.
24
Indulge who in meditation
Find they Supreme Spirit in them,
Some as divine through wisdom
Others do so by deeds selfless.
25
He who finds this all too hard
May he obtain wise counsel
And be rid of births and deaths.
26
Whatever exists in this world
Designs Spirit in Nature’s womb.
27
Sees he well, who would see
What doth perish is just the frame
End there none to Spirit therein.
28
Realize if thou Spirit in thee
Same as one that dwells in all
Hurt thou never thine own self
Thereby attain Me Supreme.
29
Beings act per their nature
Thus the Spirit that lay in them
Hath no hand in deeds of theirs.
31
Having none its attributes
Apart being from nature
Spirit hath no qualms of its own.
32
As with ether, spread all over
None the sullied, exposed being
So is the case with Spirit in thee.
33
Sun as one lights all three worlds
It’s one Spirit that glows all frames.
34
Aware if thee of Spirit ’n frame
Frees that thou from all bindings
Making way to reach Supreme.
