Verse 220-222

देहं धियं चित्प्रतिबिम्बमेवं
विसृज्य बुद्धौ निहितं गुहायाम् ।
द्रष्टारमात्मानमखण्डबोधं
सर्वप्रकाशं सदसद्विलक्षणम् ॥ २२0 ॥

नित्यं विभुं सर्वगतं सुसूक्ष्मं

विशोक आनन्दघनो विपश्चित्
स्वयं कुतश्चिन्न बिभेति कश्चित् ।
नान्योऽस्ति पन्था भवबन्धमुक्तेः
विना स्वतत्त्वावगमं मुमुक्षोः ॥ २२२ ॥

220-222. Similarly, discarding the body, the Buddhi and the reflection of the Chit in it, and realising the Witness, the Self, the Knowledge Absolute, the cause of the manifestation of everything, which is hidden in the recesses of the Buddhi, is distinct from the gross and subtle, eternal, omnipresent, all-pervading and extremely subtle, and which has neither interior nor exterior and is identical with one self – fully realising this true nature of oneself, one becomes free from sin, taint, death and grief, and becomes the embodiment of Bliss. Illumined himself, he is afraid of none. For a seeker after Liberation there is no other way to the breaking of the bonds of transmigration than the realisation of the truth of one’s own Self.

Notes:

[Hidden......Buddhi—It is the purified Buddhi which catches a glimpse of the Atman.
