To be free, shun the experiences of the senses like poison.
Turn your attention to forgiveness, sincerity, kindness, simplicity, truth.
Liberation is to know yourself as Awareness alone—
Abide in Awareness with no illusion of person.
You will be instantly free and at peace.
A single understanding: “I am the One Awareness,”
consumes all suffering in the fire of an instant.
Meditate on this: “I am Awareness alone–Unity itself.”
Give up the idea that you are separate, a person,
that there is within and without.
You have long been bound thinking: “I am a person.”
Let the knowledge: “I am Awareness alone” be the sword that frees you.
That which has form is not real.
Only the formless is permanent.
Once this is known, you will not return to illusion.
Be now spotless and at peace– Awareness beyond Consciousness.
All this time you have been duped by illusion.
Look closely at cloth, you see only threads.
Look closely at creation, you see only Self.
Not seeing Self, the world is materialized.
Seeing Self, the world is vanished.
A rope is not a snake, but can appear to be.
As a pot returns to clay, a wave to water, a bracelet to gold,
so will the universe return to me.
In Reality, knowledge, the knower, and the knowable
do not exist.
I am the transparent Self
in which through ignorance they appear.
Looking at One and seeing many is the cause of all misery.
The only cure is to realize what is seen is not there.
I am One—aware, blissful, Immaculate.
The body exists only in imagination,
as do heaven and hell, bondage, freedom, and fear.
Are these my concern?
I, who am pure Awareness?
I see no differences or separation.
Even the multitudes appear as a single formless desert.
To what should I cling?
Having realized yourself as That in which the waves of the world rise and fall,
why do you run around in turmoil?
Having realized yourself as pure Awareness, as beautiful beyond description,
how can you remain a slave to lust?
Rare is he who knows himself as One with no other— the Lord of the Universe.
He acts as he knows and is never afraid.
I am in all beings; all beings are in me.
This I know. No need to renounce, accept or destroy
When the mind desires or grieves things, accepts or rejects things,
is pleased or displeased by things– this is bondage.
Opposing forces, duties done and left undone— when does it end and for whom?
Considering this, be ever desireless, let go of all things,
and to the world turn an indifferent eye.
Attached as you have been to kingdoms, sons, wives, bodies, pleasures— life after life—
still they are now lost forever.
You are One— Awareness itself.
The universe is neither aware nor does it exist.
Even ignorance is unreal. What is left to know? I am Awareness alone.
The world is a passing show.
How can thoughts arise of acceptance or rejection? And where ?
Desire creates the world–renounce it. Renounce desires and you renounce the world.
Now you may live as you are.
One who has realized that only by caring is misery caused in the world
becomes free, happy, serene, desireless.
“I am not the body, nor is the body my possession,
I am Awareness itself.
One who realizes this for certain has no memory
of things done or left undone.
there is only the Absolute.
One who knows for certain that this manifold and wonderful universe is nothing
becomes desireless
Awareness that abides in the stillness of No-thing.
