क्व बद्धः क्व च वा मुक्तः स्वस्वरूपेऽहमद्वये ॥२०-६॥
Where is the world?
Who is a seeker after liberation? Who is

What is to be achieved, or what means of
achieving it?
Who is a Saadhak who wants to achieve it,

क्व किंचित् क्व न किंचिद्वा सर्वदा विमलस्य मे ॥२०-८॥
Who understands knowledge (of the
world),
what are the means of such knowledge,
what is to be understood, what is

something,

when I do not do anything anytime?

क्व सुखं क्व च वा दुःखं निर्विमर्शस्य मे सदा ॥२०-१०॥
What is this world affair, or what is
Reality?
What is happiness, what is sadness,
when I am always free of all
deliberations?

What is instruction, what scripture?
Who is Guru, who is disciple?
What is there to be achieved as a human
goal,
when I am the auspicious state without any
superimpositions?
What is there or not there, what exists
as one or as two?
What is there to say anymore?
Nothing ever rises for me at all!
क्व चास्ति क्व च वा नास्ति क्वास्ति चैकं क्व च द्वयम्
बहुनात्र किमुक्तेन किंचिन्नोत्तिष्टते मम ॥२०-१४॥
What is? What is not?
What oneness is there, or what twoness?
Why say more words?
Nothing ever rises out of me.
(Nothing comes out of Brahman as the
world.)
(Brahman alone is the world.)
॥ॐ तत्सत् ॥
