Dakshinamurti Stotra
CHAPTER III.

33-34. The essential definition of the moon consists in speaking of it as a great

luminary. So the essential definition of Isvara and Jiva consists in describing them as Sat-chit-ananda, as Existence, Consciousness and Bliss.

34-35. Unity of the two beings as one in their essential nature is taught by the scriptural text "That thou art." Hence the truth that the One Light is the Self in all.

35-36. Devas, animals and men have no existence apart from the Light. As one with the Light, Jiva is designated the Sarvatman, the Self in all.

Realization of Atman's unity leads to Liberation.

36-37. When this conviction of being one with the Light is steadied, one attains

to Kaivalya, to the state of Liberation, from which there is no more return.

37-33. Even he, who by chance but once cherishes the notion that he is the Self in all, is freed from all sins, is adored in Siva-loka, adored as Siva Himself.

38-39. That Mahatman, that mighty-souled Being whose contemplation of the one Self in all has been perfected, He is the very Deliverer (of all) from samsara, He is the Supreme Lord Himself.

39-40. Thus ends the third chapter, in brief, of the work called Manasollasa which expounds the meaning of the Hymn to the Blessed Dakshinamurti.
