Seeing yourself as distinct from the body and all perceptions,
know yourself as consisting of consciousness, the witness of these.
Remain resting in consciousness.
You are unattached and formless, the witness of everything - so be happy.
Meditate on yourself as motionless awareness, free from any dualism.
You are really unbound and actionless, self-illuminating and spotless already.
The cause of your bondage is that you are still resorting to stilling the mind.
After hearing of oneself as pure consciousness, the eternally pure witness of everything,
is one to go on lusting after sordid pleasures and drunken states of mind?
After hearing of oneself as such, it may effortlessly grow
into knowing oneself as such, being such already.
As such, you yourself are in all beings, and all beings are in you.
All this arises out of you, like a bubble out of the sea.
Knowing yourself like this to be but one, you can go to your rest.
You are not the body, nor is the body yours,
nor are you the doer of actions or the reaper of their consequences.
You are eternally pure consciousness - the witness, in need of nothing - so live happily.
Truly I am but pure consciousness, and the world is like a conjuror's show,
so how could I imagine there is anything there to take up or reject?
Desire and anger are objects of the mind, but the mind is not yours, nor ever has been.
You are choiceless awareness itself and unchanging - so live happily.
Your nature is the consciousness, in which the whole world wells up, like waves in the sea.
That is what you are, without any doubt, so be free of disturbance.
By your very nature, you are already free, unbound, unchanging and immovable,
so what will you achieve by working your brain?
Surely the supreme state is everywhere for the liberated mind.
He is neither awake or asleep, and neither opens or closes his eyes.
He is not averse to the senses and nor is he attached to them.
He enjoys himself continually with an unattached mind.
He is free from the mental displays of delusion, dream, and ignorance.
He just goes on doing what presents itself for him to do,
encountering no difficulty in either activity or inactivity.
The mind of the liberated man is not upset or pleased.
It shines unmoving, desireless, and free from doubt.
The realm of one's own self is not far away,
and nor can it be achieved by the addition of limitations to its nature.
It is unimaginable, effortless, unchanging and spotless.
