The self in the body is called the observer, approver, supporter, experiencer, great master, and also the supreme self. One who understands the self and nature, along with the natural qualities, will never be reborn, regardless of what condition they may find themselves in. Some recognize the self through meditation; others, through knowledge and reasoning; and others, through righteous action. But others, having no direct knowledge but having heard from others, worship accordingly. If they are devoted to what they have heard, they too can pass beyond death.
