Chapter-18
Release
I am beyond speech, without ears, form and kin; I am even, self-dependent, the Supreme Brahman.” In this way, whoever becomes one with Myself, knows Me through devotion centered in non-dualism and that whatever knowledge he attains is, also Myself (1196-1200). When he is awakened, he knows that he is all alone, that he is the sun the light-giver, as well the object lighted and that these two are not different from each other. When the object of knowledge disappears, only the knower remains and he realises that one who knows, is also Myself. He realises that this knowledge of non-dualism is also Myself, the Supreme spirit. Then the knowledge dawns upon him, that he himself is the Supreme Self, who is beyond dualism and non-dualism and then that knowledge turns into realisation (1201-1205). Thus, as the state which one attains, after waking up disappears, he does not know what state he has entered into, or as the gold ornaments appear as gold without their being melted, or when the salt is dissolved in water, the water acquires the salty taste and when that water becomes evaporated that salty taste too disappears, so when the term ‘he’ ceases to exist, how can the term ‘I’ subsist?
