Chapter Seven


Janaka said:

1.  In me who am like an infinite sea, the boat of the world is driven here and there by the wind of its own nature.  I remain unaffected.

2.  I am the boundless sea.  Let the waves of the world rise and fall in it.  I am neither increased nor diminished thereby.

3.  In me, the infinite ocean, arises the imagined Universe. Tranquil and attributeless, my Self abides forever.

4.  The infinite and ever pure Atman is not in the object, nor is the object in it.  Free from attachment and desire, ever tranquil, in this Truth I abide.

5.  Indeed, I am Consciousness Absolute, and the world is a magic show.  The thought of acceptance and rejection does not exist in me.
