v That which  is  untouched by the “Six  waves of sorrow”(Hunger and thirst ,grief and  delusion, decay  and death),which  the yogi’sheart mediates upon  but which  is not grasped by  the  sense-organs, that which the  intellect cannot know,  which  is  unimpeachable…“That  Brahman Thou Art”… mediate   on  this   in  your mind(256)

v That  which is the  “substratum” of the  universe  and its various aspects  which  are  all due to delusion,  which  supports Itself, which  is other than the  gross  and   the  subtle, which  has no parts  and  truly  has no comparison…“That  Brahman Thou Art”… mediate   on  this   in  your mind(257)

v That  beyond   which  there  is nothing,  which  is above Maya which  is   superior   to  Its  effects …the  universe, which  is the innermost  subjective  Self, which  is of one  essence,  which  is  continuous  Existence  Knowledge-Bliss,  which  is  Infinite  and Immutable…“That  Brahman Thou Art”… mediate   on  this   in  your mind(263)

v One  must meditate  with the  intellect in  one’s heart  on  the  Truth indicated  above by  means  of  scriptural  arguments, and  realise the Truth  without any  doubts..,  just the  water  in  the  hollow  of one’ s hand(264)

v In  this  cause-effect bundle,  realising  Knowledge  Absolute  free from ignorance  and  its  effects,  liket he  king  in  an  army, and  resting  in  that  Knowledge, ever-established  in  your  own  Self, merge the  universe into Brahman(265)
