Sage Vasiththa
O Rama, do enquire into the nature of the self. Then you will reach, without any obstacle whatsoever, that realm of the knowers of what is to be known. Again and again, one should overcome the enemies known as the senses: and then the self attains self-satisfaction by its own endeavor. When thus the infinite self is realized, sorrow comes to an end - even the seeds of delusion are destroyed, the shower of misfortunes ceases and the perception of evil ends. Hence, O Rama, be like Janaka, and realize the self in the inner light.
If one engages oneself in constant self-enquiry and sees the ever-changing nature of the world, in due time, one will attain self-knowledge like Janaka. Neither god, nor rites and rituals nor wealth nor relatives are of any use in this; to those who are afraid of world-illusion, self-effort as self-enquiry alone is capable of bringing about self-knowledge.
