Ninth Khanda

I am now going to describe the concentration that eliminates the worldly ties. It functions as a panacea to all worldly ills.

One should therefore concentrate on the supreme soul, all immortal, in the form of truth presuming it in the form of his soul. The supreme soul is the god of yogis, it holds odd eyes, Urdhvareta, universal form and Maheśvara. One should presume with full loyalty in his wisdom that he himself is Para Brahma, an everlasting element of supreme soul.

The second kind of concentration is that I myself is the supreme soul and it is in the form of truth, God to all, full of knowledge, pleasure, sacrosanct, excellent, immortal, beyond the beginning, middle and the end,

beyond from the formidable ignorance, distinct from the ether, distinguished from the wind as felt distinct always from the element of fire as seen by the eyes, in the form of essence, water and distinct from the earth in the form of smell.

There are no apparent proofs to know it, it is excellent beyond the physique, and it is the truth, the mind, the pleasure and unending Para Brahma. The element of supreme soul having such peculiarities should be concentrated in the form of soul and establish direct relation with it. The concentration so made always ensures emancipation.

The man of wit who engrosses himself in the exercise of the concentration described aforesaid, undoubtedly attains to the specific knowledge of the element of Brahma as described in Vedas.
