Chapter-18
Release
When he realises that the visible world which appears in the form of the Field and knower of the Field, through the three states of wakefulness, dream and deep sleep is none else but Me, he dances (in great ecstasy) like a big wig. Just as after viewing the rope, one becomes convinced that it is not a serpent, although at first sight it appeared to be so, or after the ornaments are melted, it is known to be only gold, or that the wave is nothing but water, so he is not deceived by its form (1186-1190). When one wakes up, one knows that the things which he saw in the dream, were not different from him; so he experiences, that whatever becomes manifest as existent and non-existent is he, the knower. Then he says to himself, “I am unborn, ageless, immutable, imperishable, the unique and boundless Bliss. I am the one, who does not move or drop down, the infinite, the non-dual, the origin of all, the formless and with form; I am the controller as well as the wielder of power, beginningless, imperishable, fearless, the support as also the object of support (1191-1195). I am the Lord of all, the one who abides everywhere always, easily and continuously and also beyond everything. I am what is new, what is old; I am the Void, I am complete, I am the infinite, as also the most subtle; I am actionless, love and griefless, I am that Supreme Person, who abides in all things and in whom all things abide.
