In this way, the notions of ‘he’ and ‘I’ cease to exist, and he merges into My being (1205-1210). Just as when the camphor is burnt up, both the camphor and fire also vanish and only the sky beyond them remains or when one is deducted from one the remainder is zero, so what remains after subtracting what is and what is not, is Myself. In that state, all talk about Brahman, the Self and the Lord becomes meaningless and even refraining from speech, also has no scope there. As it can be described fully without talking, about not talking, so it is known by discarding the notions of knowledge and ignorance. In that state, knowledge is to be known through knowledge, bliss is to be enjoyed through bliss and happiness is to be experienced through happiness (1211-1215). In that state, benefit gains more benefit, lustre combines with lustre and wonder is fully drowned in wonder. In that state, peace of mind becomes peaceful, rest becomes restful and experience becomes frenzied with experience. What more can I say? As the beautiful creeper of kramayoga is nourished, it produces the winsome fruit, in the form of Myself. O Arjuna, I am the crown of that sovereign kramayoga and he in his turn becomes the jewel in the form of knowledge. Or this kramayoga is like a temple and he becomes like the expanse of the sky over the dome of this temple (1216-1220).
