Chapter Twenty
Janaka said:
In my
unblemished nature there are no elements, no body, no faculties, no mind. There
is no void and no despair. 20.1
For me, free
from the sense of dualism, there are no scriptures, no self-knowledge, no mind
free from an object, no satisfaction and no freedom from desire. 20.2
There is no
knowledge or ignorance, no "me," "this," or
"mine," no bondage, no liberation, and no property of self-nature.
20.3
For him who is
always free from individual characteristics there is no antecedent causal
action, no liberation during life, and no fulfillment at death. 20.4
For me, free
from individuality, there is no doer and no reaper of the consequences, no
cessation of action, no arising of thought, no immediate object, and no idea of
results. 20.5
There is no
world, no seeker for liberation, no yogi, no seer, no one bound and no one
liberated. I remain in my own nondual nature. 20.6
There is no
emanation or return, no goal, means, seeker or achievement. I remain in my own
nondual nature. 20.7
For me who am
forever unblemished, there is no assessor, no standard, nothing to assess, and
no assessment. 20.8
For me who am
forever actionless, there is no distraction or one-pointedness of mind, no lack
of understanding, no stupidity, no joy and no sorrow. 20.9
For me who am
always free from deliberations there is neither conventional truth nor absolute
truth, no happiness and no suffering. 20.10
For me who am
forever pure there is no illusion, no samsara, no attachment or detachment, no
living organism, and no God. 20.11
For me who am
forever unmovable and indivisible, established in myself, there is no activity
or inactivity, no liberation and no bondage. 20.12
For me who am
blessed and without limitation, there is no initiation or scripture, no
disciple or teacher, and no goal of human life. 20.13
There is no
being or non-being, no unity or dualism. What more is there to say? There is
nothing outside of me. 20.14
