________________
Verse 42
good and bad are equally undesirable, equally mundane, and worthy of renunciation. The soul's safety lies in itself, in loneliness. Meditation on the oneness of the Self accomplishes the goal of getting absorbed in self-devotion. Any intermission in this selfdevotion is the means to wander in the mundane world.
The knowing soul transcends inquisitiveness, analysis and logical arguments which are employed by the intellect to reach at the truth. Knowledge is intrinsic to the soul. Because the soul always knows, therefore, the knower soul is enlightened. The knowledge is not separate from the knower. Those who establish themselves on to the path to liberation, meditate only on the pure soul. The Yogi, therefore, leaving all attachments, meditates on the pure soul and attains real happiness.
