33. Men commonly attribute pleasure and pain to the soul; but they are as separate from it, as the rain drops and the flying dust, are afar and apart from the sky. 34. Neither the body nor the soul is subject to pain or pleasure, all which relate to the ignorance of the mind; and this ignorance being removed, it will be found that they appertain to neither. (The mind alone is subject to both through its ignorance; but the philosophic mind knows all partial evils sarvárti, to be universal good). 35. Take not to your mind O Ráma! the pain or pleasure of either; but view them in an equal light, as you view things in the tranquility of your soul. 36. All the outspreading phenomena of the world, which are beheld all about us, are as the waves of the boundless ocean of the Divine Spirit; or as the gaudy train of the peacock, displayed in the sphere of our own souls. (So the mind displays its thoughts in a train). 37. The bright substance of our soul, presents to us the picture of creation, as a bright gem casts its glare to no purpose; but by its own nature. (And so the mind deals with its dreams in vain). 38. The spirit and the material world, are not the same thing; the spirit is the true reality, and the duality of the world, is only a representation or counterpart of the Spirit. 39. But Brahma, is the whole totality of existence, and know the universe as the expansion of the universal soul; therefore O Ráma! give up your error of the distinction of one thing from another (lit.: such as I am this one, and the other is another). 40. There can be no distinction, Ráma, in the everlasting and all extensive plenum of Brahma; as there is no difference in the whole body of water of the wide extended ocean. 41. All things being one and alike in the self-same substratum of the Supreme Soul, you cannot conceive of there being any other thing (a duality) in it, as you cannot imagine a particle of frost to abide in the fire. 42. By meditating on the Supreme Soul in yourself, and by contemplation of the intelligent Spirit in your own intellect, you will find the glory of the Supreme Spirit, shining brightly in your pure spirit. 43. Therefore ease your mind, O Ráma! and know that there is no mistake nor error in your believing the all as one; and that there is no new-birth or a new born being (in the world), but all that is or <has> come to existence, is ever existent in the Supreme. 44. Ease yourself, O Ráma! by knowing that there is no duality (save the Unity of God); and that there is no contrariety of things (as that of heat and cold), except their oneness in the Divine moniety. Then knowing yourself as a spiritual being, and situated in the purity of Divine essence, you shall have no need of devotion or adoration (in order to appease or unite yourself with the Deity). And knowing also that you are not separated from God, forsake all your sorrow (to think of your helpless state).
