मुक्ताभिमानी मुक्तो हि बद्धो बद्धाभिमान्यपि। किवदन्तीह सत्येयं या मतिः सा गतिर्भवेत्॥१-११॥
If you think you are free you are free. If you think you are bound you are bound. It is rightly said: You become what you think.
english translation
आत्मा साक्षी विभुः पूर्ण एको मुक्तश्चिदक्रियः। असंगो निःस्पृहः शान्तो भ्रमात्संसारवानिव॥१-१२॥
The soul is witness, all-pervading, infinite, one, free, inert, neutral, desire-less and peaceful. Only due to illusion it appears worldly.
english translation
कूटस्थं बोधमद्वैत- मात्मानं परिभावय। आभासोऽहं भ्रमं मुक्त्वा भावं बाह्यमथान्तरम्॥१-१३॥
Meditate on unchanging, conscious and non-dual Self. Be free from the illusion of 'I' and think this external world as part of you.
english translation
देहाभिमानपाशेन चिरं बद्धोऽसि पुत्रक। बोधोऽहं ज्ञानखंगेन तन्निष्कृत्य सुखी भव॥१-१४॥
O son, you have become habitual of thinking- “I am body” since long. Experience the Self and by this sword of knowledge cut that bondage and be happy.
english translation
निःसंगो निष्क्रियोऽसि त्वं स्वप्रकाशो निरंजनः। अयमेव हि ते बन्धः समाधिमनुतिष्ठति॥१-१५॥
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.
