- synopsis
- Reader of the sutra: Ma Yoga Taru, also chanting.
- Hindi part:
- (Translated as in Finger Pointing to the Moon on CD-ROM)
- The sutra
- Knowing oneself as unattached and indifferent as the sky, a yogi is not attached at all after that to any future actions.
- Just as the sky present in a pot full of liquor is not affected by the smell of the liquor, the soul remains untouched by all happenings in spite of being present during all of them.
- Just as an arrow released will not stop before piercing the aimed at object, the actions done before the happening of enlightenment will not cease to yield fruits after enlightenment happens.
- An arrow released taking an animal to be a tiger, cannot be stopped midway if later on the understanding dawns that the animal was instead a cow. The arrow will hit the target with its full strength. Similarly, action already done comes to fruition even after enlightenment has happened.
- One who understands that he is deathless and ever young remains one with the soul and has no relationship with the fruits of his past actions.

- The sutra
- The yogi, being alone and indifferent like the sky, does not even in the least attach himself with the future.
- Even as the ether inside a wine jar remains untouched by the smell of wine, so the self, even in association with its covering, remains uncontaminated by its nature.
- As the arrow aimed at its target cannot but hit it after it has left the bow, so the karmas performed before the advent of knowledge will yield its fruit, even after one has attained knowledge.
- It implies that the fruits of karma done before realization have to be lived out.
- As the arrow shot at a tiger cannot be stopped upon learning that it is a cow and not a tiger, but rather goes forth and hits its object just as forcefully.
- So the action performed yields its fruits even after knowledge has been attained.
- One who knows his self as ever young and deathless also remains so.
- How could he even have an imagination of the bondage due to past conditions? It means that there is no relationship between the sage and his past conditionings.
