24. If the supreme reality is only one and stainless How can there be here and the hosts of gods beginning with Brahma, and how can there be here- the worlds of habitation, such as heaven? I am the nectar of knowledge, homogenous existence, like the sky. 

25. How shall I, the pure One, the "not this " and yet the not "not this", speak? How shall I, the pure One, The endless and the end, speak? How shall I, the pure One, attributeless and attribute, speak? I am the nectar of knowledge, homogenous existence, like the sky. 

26. I ever perform the supreme action which is non-action. I am supreme Joy, devoid of attachment and detachment. I am everlasting Joy, devoid of body and absence of body. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogenous existence, like the sky. 

27. The creation of the illusory universe is not my modification. The creation of deceit and arrogance is not my modification. The creation of truth and falsehood is not my modification. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogenous existence, like the sky. 

28. I am devoid of time, such as twilight - I have no disjunction. I am devoid of interiorness and awakening. I am neither deaf nor mute. I am thus devoid of illusion. I am not made pure by moods of mind. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogenous existence, like the sky. 

29. I am without a master and the absence of a master - I am unperturbed. I have transcended mind and absence of mind - I am unperturbed. Know me as unperturbed and transcendent of all. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogenous existence, like the sky. 

30. How shall I say that this is a forest or a temple? How shall I say that this is proved or doubtful? It is thus uninterrupted homogenous calm Existence. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogenous existence, like the sky. 

31. The Self devoid of life and lifelessness - shines forever. Devoid of seed and seedlessness - of liberation and bondage, it shines forever. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogenous existence, like the sky. 

32. It shines forever, devoid of birth - mundane existence and death. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogenous existence, like the sky.
