24. The place where I am situated, is said to be my location; and when I think or affirm any thing, that I say the present time; and as long I feel the twinkling of my intellect, so long do I know myself as the intellectual cause of my action. 25. When I see anything, I have its perception in me; and I have my conviction also, that what I behold with my two eyes, are not empty vacuity, but of a substantial nature. 26. The organs wherewith I saw and felt the world in me, are these two eyes—the keys to the visible world; then I felt the desire of hearing, what was going about me, and it was my own soul, which prompted this desire in me. (Sensible perceptions are the natural appetites of the soul, and finding their way through the external organs of sense). 27. I then heard a swelling sound, as that of a sonorous conch; and reaching to me through the air, where it is naturally born and through which it passes. 28. The organs by which I heard the sound, are these two ears of mine; it is born by the air to ear, and then enters the earholes with a continuous hissing. 29. I then felt in me the desire of feeling, and the organ whereby I came to it, is called the touch or skin. 30. Next I came to know the medium, whereby I had the sensation of touch in my body; and found it was the air which conveyed that sense to me (_i.e._ from the object to the skin). 31. As I remained sensible of the property of feeling or touch in me, I felt the desire of taste within myself, and had there upon the organ of tasting given to me. 32. Then my vacuous self, contracted the property of smelling, by the air of its breath, I had thereby the sense of smelling given to me, through the organs of my nostrils. Being thus furnished with all the organs of sense, I found myself to be imperfect still (because none of them could lead me to the knowledge of the truth). 33. Being thus confined in the net of my senses, I found my sensual appetite increasing fast in me (and the possession of sensuous perceptions (vidah), tending to no conscientious verity samvidah). 34. The bodily sensations of sound, form, taste, touch and smell, are all formless and untrue, and though appear to be actual and true; yet they are really false and untrue. 35. As I remained ensnared in the net of my senses, and considered myself a sensible being; I felt my egoism in me, as that with which I am now addressing to you. 36. The sense of egoism growing strong and compact, takes the name of the understanding; and this being considered and mature, comes to be designated as the mind. 37. Being possessed of my eternal senses, I pass for a sentient being; and having my spiritual body and soul, I pass as an intellectual being in a vacuous form. 38. I am more rare and vacuous than the air itself, and am as the empty void itself; I am devoid of all shapes and figures, and am irrepressible in my nature.
