Free from vanity, delusion, and attachment, with a mind that dwells constantly in the self, renounced of desire and liberated from the duality of pleasure and pain, one attains that eternal abode. Neither the sun nor the moon can illuminate this supreme abode where one goes to never return. The embodied souls in this world are my fragments, bound into material nature by the five senses and the mind. As the embodied soul enters and leaves bodies, it carries these with them like the wind carries scents from place to place. Presiding over the ears, eyes, skin, tongue, nose, and mind, it savors the objects of the senses.
