    आदावन्ते जनानां सद्बहिरन्तः परावरम् । ज्ञानं ज्ञेयं वचो वाच्यं तमो ज्योतिस्त्वयं स्वयम् ॥ ७-१५-५७ ॥AdAvante janAnAM sadbahirantaH parAvaram । jJAnaM jJeyaM vaco vAcyaM tamo jyotistvayaM svayam ॥ 7-15-57 ॥He who exists internally and externally, at the beginning and end of everything and of all living beings, as that which is enjoyable and as the enjoyer of everything, superior and inferior, is the Supreme Truth. He always exists as knowledge and the object of knowledge, as expression and the object of understanding, as darkness and as light. Thus He, the Supreme Lord, is everything. ॥ 7-15-57 ॥

After repeated birth on this path, which is known as deva-yāna, one attains these consecutive stages. One who is completely free from all material desires, being situated in the self, need not traverse the path of repeated birth and death. ॥ 7-15-55 ॥

    अग्निः सूर्यो दिवा प्राह्णः शुक्लो राकोत्तरं स्वराट् । विश्वश्च तैजसः प्राज्ञस्तुर्य आत्मा समन्वयात् ॥ ७-१५-५४ ॥agniH sUryo divA prAhNaH zuklo rAkottaraM svarAT । vizvazca taijasaH prAjJasturya AtmA samanvayAt ॥ 7-15-54 ॥On his path of ascent, the progressive living entity enters the different worlds of fire, the sun, the day, the end of the day, the bright fortnight, the full moon, and the passing of the sun in the north, along with their presiding demigods. When he enters Brahmaloka, he enjoys life for many millions of years, and finally his material designation comes to an end. He then comes to a subtle designation, from which he attains the causal designation, witnessing all previous states. Upon the annihilation of this causal state, he attains his pure state, in which he identifies with the Supersoul. In this way the living entity becomes transcendental. ॥ 7-15-54 ॥

    इन्द्रियाणि मनस्यूर्मौ वाचि वैकारिकं मनः । वाचं वर्णसमाम्नाये तमोङ्कारे स्वरे न्यसेत् । ओङ्कारं बिन्दौ नादे तं तं तु प्राणे महत्यमुम् ॥ ७-१५-५३ ॥indriyANi manasyUrmau vAci vaikArikaM manaH । vAcaM varNasamAmnAye tamoGkAre svare nyaset । oGkAraM bindau nAde taM taM tu prANe mahatyamum ॥ 7-15-53 ॥The mind is always agitated by waves of acceptance and rejection. Therefore all the activities of the senses should be offered into the mind, which should be offered into one’s words. Then one’s words should be offered into the aggregate of all alphabets, which should be offered into the concise form oṁkāra. Oṁkāra should be offered into the point bindu, bindu into the vibration of sound, and that vibration into the life air. Then the living entity, who is all that remains, should be placed in Brahman, the Supreme. This is the process of sacrifice. ॥ 7-15-53 ॥

    निषेकादिश्मशानान्तैः संस्कारैः संस्कृतो द्विजः । इन्द्रियेषु क्रियायज्ञान् ज्ञानदीपेषु जुह्वति ॥ ७-१५-५२ ‌॥niSekAdizmazAnAntaiH saMskAraiH saMskRto dvijaH । indriyeSu kriyAyajJAn jJAnadIpeSu juhvati ॥ 7-15-52 ‌॥A twice-born brāhmaṇa ॥ dvija॥ gains his life by the grace of his parents through the process of purification known as garbhādhāna. There are also other processes of purification, until the end of life, when the funeral ceremony ॥ antyeṣṭi-kriyā॥ is performed. Thus in due course a qualified brāhmaṇa becomes uninterested in materialistic activities and sacrifices, but he offers the sensual sacrifices, in full knowledge, into the working senses, which are illuminated by the fire of knowledge. ॥ 7-15-52 ॥

Then, however, the performers of sacrifice descend again to earth to become herbs, creepers, vegetables ॥ 7-15-50 ‌॥

Performing such sacrifices, worshiping Vaiśvadeva, and performing the ceremony of Baliharaṇa, ॥ 7-15-48 ‌॥
