Viveka Chudamani:Atma-vichaara: Contemplation(407-413)
- The wise have observed that the superimposition is identical with its sub-stratum-- just as the rope and the snake. The difference exists only because of delusion(407)
- The apparent universe has its roots in the mind and cannot exist once the mind is annihilated. Therefore, dissolve the mind by fixing it on the most subjective Supreme Self(408)
- Through Samadhi, the wise man realised the infinite Brahman in his heart as something( ineplicably) of the essence of eternal Knowledge and complete Bliss, which is unparalleled, which is beyond all limitations, which is ever-free, which has no activity and which is indivisible and absolute like the limitless sky(409)
- Through Samadhi, the wise man realises the infinite Brahman in his heart as undecaying and immortal, as the positive Entity which debars allnegations, which is like a calm ocean,, which has no name, in which there are neither merits nor demerits, which is eternal,tranquil and One(411)
- With a controlled mind, in Samadhi,see in your own Self, the Atman of undying splendour. Cut of your bondages which have bee strengthened by the impressions of your previous births and successfully strive to realise the fulfilment of a human birth(412)
- Meditate upon that Atman whichis your Self,which is beyond all limitations which is Existence-Knowledge-Bliss Absolute, and Non-dual.Never will you come under the sway of births and deaths(413)
