From Ribhu Gita, Chapter 17: Topic of the Glory of the Self

[Guest guest]

Ribhu:

 

Hear this, which is exclusive, deep, secret, most marvelous and ever

instantly conferring Liberation.

 

2. Easy is the Knowledge of Brahman. It is easy, auspicious, and is

best. It is easy for them who are established in Brahman, and it

gives Knowledge of everything.

 

3. It is easy for them who have fulfilled their duties, easy for

them abiding in themselves, easy and causeless, and easy for them who

are established in Brahman.

 

4. It is easy for them who are without thought, for them who are

themselves "That" itself, for them who are without the cycle of

recurrent birth. Thought is said to be the world.

 

5. This would has not been created. It is only Brahman. It is not

even the mind. This is, indeed, Brahman. There is nothing to fear.

This is Brahman and nothing else.

 

6. All this that is unreal is , indeed, Brahman. It is Brahman that

is to be sought. Brahman is indeed all these bodies. All "this" is

Brahman. There is not a blade of grass apart.

 

7. I am Brahman alone. I am not anyone else. "This" is, verily,

Brahman. There is not world. This space is unreal, it is Brahman.

Action is unreal; it is Brahman.
