Tripura Rahasya

Sage Dattatreya

The Goddess Continued..

He who is, from his own experience, capable of appreciating the states of other jnanis, including the best among them, is certainly a perfect Sage. He who is not influenced by happiness or misery, by pleasure or pain, by desires, doubts or fear, is a perfect sage. He who realizes pleasure, pain and every other phenomenon to be in and of the Self, is a perfect sage. He who feels himself pervading all - be they ignorant or emancipated - is a perfect Sage. He who, knowing the trammels of bondage, does not seek release from them and remains in peace, is a perfect Sage. Those perfect among the Sages are identical with Me. There is absolutely no difference between us.

I have now told you all this in answer to your questions. You need no longer be perplexed with doubts. 

Having said so, Transcendental Intelligence became silent. Then all the Rishis saluted Shiva and the other Gods and returned to their own abodes.

Lord Dattatreya said..

I have now told you the sacred Gita of pure knowledge, which destroys all sins and purifies the mind. This Gita is the best among Gitas because it has proceeded from Abstract Intelligence Herself and it leads one to emancipation, on being attentively heard and cogitated upon.

This Gita is the raft to save one from sinking in the ocean of samsara, and so it must be read or repeated every day with love and care. 

Thus ends the chapter of Vidya Gita in Tripura Rahasya.
