The Brahman said:
- The acquisition of anything whatsoever that men hold as dearest leads to misery. But he who knows this gives up all possession attains to endless bliss.
- An osprey with a piece of flesh was tormented by others, stronger than itself, that had no flesh. It gave that flesh up and became happy.
- I do not care for honor or dishonor, nor have I any anxiety such as men with houses and children have. I sport with the Self, take pleasure in the Self and roam on earth like a child.
- Two people only are free from anxiety and immersed in supreme bliss—the child that knows nothing and never works and the man who has realized the Being above the Gunas.
