Just as a tuft of reed-down, blown up by the wind, scatters to the ten directions, so, through the knowledge of the truth concerning {{brahman|the absolute}}, do the [accumulated] actions of the knower of truth [scatter and vanish].

Thus, casting off {{māyā|deluding power}} — [the source of] the construction of duality, error-natured, bewildering — one should contemplatively realize (bhāvayet) the non-dual ({{advaita|non-duality}}) {{brahman|the absolute}}, which is [both] with parts and partless.

Like space [present] within and without pots and the like, {{brahman|the absolute}} abides in all bodily lumps.

That alone is the niṣkala (partless, undivided) Brahman, free of all distinction, nirañjana (stainless, untainted).

That Brahman—partless, undefiled, peaceful—is declared [to be realized as] "That Brahman am I.

One who has become accomplished in the word-Brahman attains the parabrahman (the supreme, transcendent Brahman).
