CHAPTER XL
1. All moving beings in the universe are enveloped by the Omnipotent God. Enjoy what God has granted you. Do not covet the wealth of any other man.
2. Man should wish to live for a hundred years but he has to be unselfish and has to do religious deeds in this world, . Karma done for unselfish does not attach to him. There is no other way than this for emancipation (escaping from birth and death cycle).
3. The men engulfed in the darkness of ignorance by not listening to gurus, and those who disobey the dictates of conscience, and are given to carnal pleasures are sinners. They, in this life, and after death, keep getting birth in those sexual enjoyments and participate in sexual enjoyments but these activities are covered with afflictions and they suffer.
4. God is permanent, One, swifter than mind, beyond the reach of physical organs, speeding on before them. He has Omnipresence, The soul resides in him and performs action.
5. God is motionless. He is far distant from the irreligious and ignorant, and near the yogis. He is within this entire universe, and also surrounds it externally.
6. The man, who sees all animate and inanimate creation in God, and God pervading all material objects, falls not a prey to doubt. Both animate creatures and inanimate objects have God within and around them.
7. A man contemplating upon God, feels in Him all beings exist like he is existing. Such a yogi looking upon God as an unequalled One, becomes free from delusion and grief.
8. God is All pervading, Lustrous, Bodiless, Flawless, Sinewless, Pure, Unpierced by evil. He is Omniscient, Knower of the hearts of all, Censurer of the sinful, and Self-existent. He truly reveals through the vedas all things for His subjects from His immemorial attributes. He is free from birth and death.
9. People who abandon God, fall deep into the shade of blinding gloom . Those who are engaged in the material pleasures of the world sink to darkness deeper.
10. One fruit results from the knowledge of this created world, the Effect. Another fruit results from the knowledge of eternal Matter, the Cause.
11. Thie man who knows simultaneously the effect and the cause, overcoming death through the knowledge of the cause, attains to salvation through the knowledge of the effect, the created world.
12. To blinding darkness go the men who worship Nescience. Those proud of little knowledge enter darkness that is darker still.
13. Different is the fruit, they say, of knowledge and Nescience.
14. He who simultaneously knows well these two, knowledge and Action, gains salvation through knowledge.
15. As a soul, at the time of death, remember Om. Remember God for your vitality and your eternity, As a person in body know that soul is immaterial and immortal but the body is finally reduced to ashes.
16. Pray to God. "O Divine, Lustrous, Benevolent God, most ample, respectful adoration do we bring to you. You are All-Knowing. Remove from us the sin that leads us astray. Lead us through virtuous path to riches, happiness and all sorts of wisdom."
17. Om is the name for God. God is vast like the atmosphere, Greatest of all in merit, action, and nature.
