The wise person of self-knowledge, playing the game of worldly enjoyment, bears no resemblance whatever to samsara's bewildered beasts of burden. Truly yogi feels no excitement even at being established in that state which all Devas from Indra down yearn for disconsolately.
He who has known That is untouched within by good deeds or bad, just as the sky is not touched by smoke, however much it may appear to be. Who can prevent the great-souled person who has known this whole world as himself from living as he please ? Of all four categories of beings, from Brahma down to last clump of grass, only the man of knowledge is capable of eliminating desire and aversion.
Rare is the man who knows himself as the undivided Lord of world, and he knows this is not afraid of anything.
