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
Only a person free from holding onto the ego attains to self-nature. Therefore, becoming spotlessly clean like the full moon, one becomes ever blissful and self-luminous.
On cessation of the sense of doing, all anxieties cease. On cessation of the anxieties, all desires cease. The cessation of desires is emancipation -- and this is called jeevanamukti, liberation while living.
Seeing all, everywhere, in every direction, as brahma, the absolute reality -- on the ripening of the feeling of such goodwill do desires cease.
Never be negligent of your allegiance to brahma, the absolute reality, because that is the only death -- say the ones who are well-rooted in brahma.
Even if shifted aside, the algae do not lose time in covering the water again. Similarly, even if a wise man swerves from his allegiance to brahma even for a little while, illusions cover him.

The sutra
He alone realizes the self, who is free from the clutches of egoism, and spotless like the moon; he remains ever-blissful and self-illumined.
Cessation of action leads to the cessation of anxiety, and cessation of anxiety leads to the ending of desire.
The ending of desire is freedom, and this is what is called jivan mukti, or freedom in life itself.
To see the divine everywhere, in every direction, and in every thing is right attitude; and being firm in this attitude brings an end to craving.
Do not be slothful and wavering in your faith in the supreme, because this is death -- so say the knowers of the divine.
As water weeds cover up the water, even as they are removed, so does illusion take hold of a wise man if he swerves a bit from his faith in the supreme reality.
