The nature of the wise person is not to desire those experiences which one does not effortlessly obtain, and to experience those which have already arrived. If one is able to wean the mind away from craving for sense-pleasure by whatever means, one is saved from being drowned in the ocean of delusion. He who has realized his oneness with the entire universe, and who has thus risen above both desire 'for' and desire 'against', is never deluded.
Therefore, O Rama, realize that self or infinite consciousness which permeates and therefore transcends both the unreal and the real: and, then, neither grasp nor give up whatever is inside or outside. The wise sage who is established in such self-knowledge is free from any sort of coloring or mental conditioning or self-limitations: he is like the sky or space which is totally free from being limited by anything that happens within it.
