330. O mind, immediately give up and cut your connection with those wicked people who go the wrong way, always arguing for the unjust; associate instead with Jnanis, who ever abide in the State of Peace, devoid of confusion.

331. Since all vices are born only out of the fictitious enthusiasm, which is caused by loss of Self-attention, the Blissful State of Mei-Jnana [True Knowledge], where the ego - which is that ignorant enthusiasm itself - is annihilated, is all the virtues.

332. Spotless Jnanis alone are truly virtuous; others are base-natured. Therefore, to be saved, we should approach only those Virtuous Ones who ever abide in the Truth, by having got rid of the false worldly delusion.

333. Beyond speech is the greatness of those who have earned the privilege of becoming a prey to the glance of Grace of the Sadguru, who has ripened as the Fruit - the Supreme Self - on account of the invincible achievement of Self-Knowledge.

334. Hiding His own Form, taking another form as a human being, Lord Shiva enters the group of His enlightened devotees, who have staunch devotion to Him, as if He were among them, taking immense pleasure in their holy company.

335. The greatness of Devotees cannot be limited. Devotees are greater than Brahma and Vishnu, who often serve the Devotees as if they were their slaves. It is only the greatness of Devotees that the Vedas proclaim.

336. Seers of the rarely seen Truth say, “Brahma-Vidya, which is worthwhile for the aspirant to learn, is to see the seer who sees the world, instead of seeing the world which is seen”.

337. Brahma-Vidya is nothing other than seeing That which remains when all these three - the mirage-like world, the seer of that world, and the bright eye’s seeing - are burnt without a trace.

338. “Who am I?” - the scrutiny of the indispensable truth of one’s own Self - is the sole life-current passing through all the religions which have come to save us. Thus should you know.

339. Just as the string which is strung through every bead is only one and not many, so the Supreme Lord exists & shines as the one Light in every religion, and so He also exists & shines, not as another, but as the one Self in all the innumerable creatures.

340. Just as one flame appears to be many lights when it is lit in many lamps, so it is the one Self alone which appears to be many different individuals [jivas] when It is seen through many different attributes [upadhis].

342. Various religions teaching various principles have come into existence in order to suit the various levels of maturity of the minds of the people. Therefore it is wisest to have an outlook of equality upon these religions, which should be encouraged.

343. For the one who has obtained the Eye of Self-Knowledge by diving deep within himself, there is no other thing to be seen or known. Why? Because, having lost the wrong knowledge that he is the body-form, he has rightly known himself to be the Formless.

344. Those who have sought for God within the moving temple, this body, and seen Him here clearly and without any confusion, will certainly see Him shining even in the vast temple, this wondrous universe.

346. For those who shine as Self, which is Grace - since their mind, which is the form of ignorance, has died - everything and every place will be found to be supremely Blissful in their divine view, which emerged as Self-Existence.
