In solitude live joyously.
Quieten your mind in the Supreme Lord.
Realise and see the All-pervading Self every where.
Recognise that the finite Universe is a projection of the Self.
Conquer the effects of the deeds done in earlier lives by the present right action.
Through wisdom become detached from future actions (Agami).
Experience and exhaust “Prarabdha” the fruits of past actions.
Thereafter, live absorbed in the bhav – “I am Brahman” !

Translation by Sri Bharathi Tirtha Mahaswami

Stay happily in solitude. Concentrate your mind upon the Highest Brahman.
Perceive everywhere the all-pervading Self. See this world as falsified by it.
Let your past actions be done away with. On the strength of knowledge, don’t be associated with the actions being done.
Experience here itself the fruits of the Prarabdha karmas (karmas that have started to yield their fruits). Afterwards, identify the Self in you with the Parabrahman and stay in that state.
