72. Obeisance to the sun of my intellect! which is always in its ascendency and dispels the darkness of my heart; which pervades everywhere, and is yet invisible or dimly seen by us. 73. I bow to my intellectual light, which is an oilless lamp of benign effulgence, and burns in full blaze within me and without its wick. It is the enlightener of nature, and quite still in its nature. 74. Whenever my mind is heated by cupid’s fire, I cool it by the coolness of my cold and callous intellect coolness; as they temper the red-hot iron with a cold and hard hammer. 75. I am gaining my victory over all things, by killing my egoism by the Great Ego; and by making my senses and mind to destroy themselves. 76. I bow to thee, O thou all subduing faith, that dost crush our ignorant doubt by thy wisdom; dispellest the unrealities by thy knowledge of the reality, and removest our cravings by thy contentedness. 77. I subsist solely as the transparent spirit, by killing my mind by the great Mind, and removing my egoism by the sole Ego, and by driving the unrealities by the true Reality. 78. I rely my body (_i.e._ I depend for my bodily existence), on the moving principle of my soul only; without the consciousness of my self existence, my egoism, my mind and all its efforts and actions. 79. I have obtained at last of its own accord, and by the infinite grace of the Lord of all, the highest blessing of cold heartedness and _insouciance_ in myself. 80. I am now freed from the heat of my feverish passions, by subsidence of the demon of my ignorance; from disappearance of the goblin of my egoism. 81. I know not where the falcon of my false egoism has fled, from the cage of my body, by breaking its string of desires to which it was fast bound in its feet. 82. I do not know whither the eagle of my egotism is flown, from its nest in the arbor of my body, after blowing away its thick ignorance as dust. 83. Ah! where is my egoism fled, with its body besmeared with the dust and dirt of worldliness, and battered by the rocks of its insatiable desires? It is bitten by the deadly dragons of fears and dangers, and pierced in its hearts by repeated disappointments and despair. 84. O! I wonder to think what I had been all this time, when I was bound fast by my egoism in the strong chain of my personality. 85. I think myself a new born being to-day, and to have become highminded also, by being removed from the thick cloud of egoism, which had shrouded me all this time. 86. I have seen and known, and obtained this treasure of my soul, as it is presented to my understanding, by the verbal testimonies of the sástras, and by the light of inspiration in my hour of meditation (samádhi). 87. My mind is set at rest as extinguished fire, by its being released from the cares of the world; as also from all other thoughts and desires and the error of egoism. I am now set free from my affections and passions, and all delights of the world, as also my craving after them.
