आगमे ब्राह्मे विश्वासटिप्पन्यः

** Janaka said:**

** 13.1 The tranquil state of knowing Self alone is rare— even among those who own but a loincloth. I therefore neither renounce nor accept and am happy**

BLISS

Loin-cloth: If to you this is something other than yourself. You must be able to see everything as Brahman. Then, you will get perfect calmness of mind.

**13.2 The body is strained by practices. The tongue tires of scripture. The mind numbs with meditation. Detached from all this, I live as I am. **

Think of the body—there will always be some trouble.

Trouble of the mind: These thoughts worry you – those thought trouble you. I do not have this. I have not that and so on. So give them up as [S] Drishyam. Don’t attach yourself to them.

**13.3 Realizing that nothing is done, I do what comes and am happy. **

There is nothing outside the Self.

**13.4 Yogis who preach either effort or non-effort are still attached to the body. I neither dissociate nor associate with any of that and am happy. **

**13.5 I have nothing to gain or lose by standing, walking or sitting down. So whether I stand, walk or sit I am happy. **

13.6 I do not lose by sleeping nor attain by effort. Not thinking in terms of loss or gain I am happy.

**13.7 Pleasure and pain fluctuate and are inconsistent. Without good or bad I live happy **

When you are in the practicing stage, you have to renounce.
