303. As long as there is a trace of poisoning left in the
body, how can one hope for recovery? Similar is the effect
of egoism on the Yogi's liberation.
अहमोऽत्यन्तनिवृत्या तत्कृतनानाविकल्पसंहृत्या ।
प्रत्यक्तत्त्वविवेकादिदमहमस्मीति विन्दते तत्त्वम् ॥३०४॥
304. Through the complete cessation of egoism,
through the stoppage of the diverse mental waves due to
it, and through the discrimination of the inner Reality, one
realizes that Reality as "I am This".
[1Mental waves-Such as doubt and wrong notion. J
अहंकारे कर्तर्यहमिति मति मुञ्च सहसा
विकारात्मन्यात्मप्रतिफलजुपि स्वस्थितिमुषि
यदध्यासात्प्राप्ता जनिमृतिजरादुःखबहुला
प्रतीचश्चिन्मूर्तेस्तव सुखतनो: संसृतिरियम् । ३०५ ॥
305. Give up immediately thy identification with
egoism, the agent, which is by its nature a modification, 1
is endued2 with a reflection of the Self, and diverts one
from being established in the Self-identifying thyself with
which thou hast come by this relative existence, 3 full of
the miseries of birth, decay, and death, though thou art
the Witness, the Essence of Knowledge and Bliss Absolute.
[Modification-of nescience, and therefore non-permanent.
2 Endued etc.-This makes it look intelligent.
3 Relative existence-Sansāra or transmigration.]

रानन्दमूर्तेरनबद्यकीर्तेः ।
