Verse 15

Rare is the one who knows
The way to merge consciousness
In the Supreme.
The consciousness that looks upon
Everything as the essence
Reaches the Supreme that does
Not otherwise yield.
The Supreme resides in every entity
And organism, like
The sun lights up the world
Through a thousand rays.
Instill this lesson in your heart
And rid yourself of past deeds.

åååå

It is simple, though not easy, to capture the essence with a mind that is used to making divisions of the self and the world. Look upon everything as the manifestation of the Supreme: many forms of one essence. Like a thousand rays emanate from one sun. That way you will find the mind becoming quiet and losing its propensity to run outside. You will become free of the pulls and pressures of the past residues, which otherwise fill up a whole lifetime.
