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

It is not to explain to the knowers but to satisfy the ignorant that the scriptures say that "body etcetera is true" and that there is accumulated karma, past action.

Actually there exists nothing else except the one and non-dual brahma, which is perfect, beginningless and endless, immeasurable, unchanging, abode of truth, abode of consciousness, abode of bliss, eternal, indestructible, omnipresent, uniform, whole, infinite, with head in all directions, impossible to be lost or to be found, supportless, independent, devoid of all attributes, actionless, subtle, choiceless, spotless, indefinable, beyond mind and speech, truly affluent, self-evident, pure, conscious and unlike anything we know.

Thus, knowing through your own experience that the soul is indivisible, be fulfilled and dwell blissfully in the changeless soul.

It is not to explain to the knowers but to satisfy the ignorant that the scriptures say "body etcetera is true" and that there is accumulated karma, past action.

The sutra

The scriptures do not say that the body is real for the knower, but they say so for the ignorant.

In reality, there is only the non-dual supreme, which is one without a second, and nothing else exists except it.

And the supreme is known as something without beginning and without end -- immeasurable, pure, innocent, existential, conscious, eternal, blissful, imperishable, all-pervading, non-dual, established always in oneness.

With a face in every direction, one is unable to renounce it or accept it, existing without any foundation or support, attributeness, actionless, subtle, artless, self-evident, pure, enlightened and incomparable.

Thus you enjoy most blissfully the undifferentiated self which you have known by your own experience as indivisible; thus be a siddha, a fulfilled one.
