17. Here verily is the conscious Being who is completely the All. Here is the conscious Being who is the all-comprehensive and undivided. Here is the conscious Being, alone and immutable. Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?
18. It is ignorance to see difference in the undifferentiated. Doubt in what is beyond doubt is ignorance. If there is only the one undivided consciousness then why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?
19. There is no state of liberation – no state of virtue, no state of vice. There is no state of perfection and no state of destitution. Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?
20. If the homogenous Being is devoid of cause and effect – division and subdivision, color and lack of color – Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?
21. The self is here in the universal consciousness which is the All and undivided. It is here in the universal consciousness which is absolute and immovable. It is here in the universal consciousness which is devoid of men and other beings. Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?
22. The Self transcends all, is indivisable and all-pervading. It is free from stain of attachment, immovable and all-pervading. It is without day and night and all-pervading. Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?
23. There is no coming of bondage and freedom from bondage. There is no coming of union and separation. There is no coming of reasoning and disputation. Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?
24. Here is negation of time, untime and even the atom of fire – but no negation of the absolute truth. Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?
25. Here is the Self devoid of body and disembodiment. Here is verily the supreme One – devoid of dream and deep sleep. Here is the supreme One devoid of name and injunctions. Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?
26. Pure, vast and homogenous like the sky, the Self is the same in all and devoid of all. It is the homogenous Being divested of essence and non-essence and change. Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?
27. Here is the Self – which is more than dispassionate to virtue and vice to substance and nonsubstance – to desire and desirelessness. Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?
28. Here is the Self, the same in all – which is without grief and greiflessness. Here is the Supreme, without happiness and sorrow. The Supreme Truth is devoid of teacher and disciple. Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?
29. Verily there is no offshoot – essence or absence of essence. Neither is there movable nor immovable – sameness nor variety. The Self is devoid of reason and unreason. Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?
30. Here is the essence – the concentration of all essences – which is said to be different – from ones individual consciousness. To be the instrument of perception of objects is unreal. Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?
31. Since the Vedas have declared variously that this universe made of ether and the like is like a mirage, and since the Self is one – indivisable – and the same in all, Why dost thou, who art the identity in all, grieve in thy heart?
32. Where one knows nothing, there is verily no versification. The Supreme and free One – pure of thought, absorbed in the consciousness of the homogenous being, prattles about the truth.
