The voluntary religious observance is the restraint of the inner senses. Renouncing (tyaga) is the giving up of fear, delusion, sorrow and anger. (Renouncing results is) the enjoyment of bliss in the identity of the higher and lower (self). Unrestrainedness is pure power. When the reality of Brahman shines in the self-there is the annihilation of the phenomenal world which is enveloped by the power of Shiva (Maya); similarly, the burning of the existence or non-existence of the aggregate of the causal, subtle and gross bodies. He realizes Brahman as the prop of the ether. The auspicious fourth state is the sacred thread; the tuft (too) consists of that. (To him) the created world consists of consciousness; (so also) the immovable and the group of various beings. Uprooting (the effect of) karman is (mere) talk; in the cemetery (Self-Brahman), illusion, ‘mineness’ and ego have been burnt. (The realized Parivrajaka) has his body intact. Meditation on the true form which is beyond the three attributes (of Sattva, Rajas and Tamas); (even this) condition (of distinction ‘I am Brahman’) is a delusion which shall be annihilated. The burning of the attitude of passion, etc., (ought to be done). The loin cloth ought to be rough and tight (so that the vital energy moves upward in perpetual celibacy). Deer-skin garment for long (and later to be unclad). The un-struck mantra (the Om in the fourth state turiya) is practiced by refraining from (worldly) action. Conducting himself freely (as he has reached a stage which is beyond good and bad, he realizes) his true nature which is liberation. His conduct (of serving a primary Avadhuta) as a ship (to cross the ocean of worldly life and) reach the transcendent Brahman; practicing celibacy till tranquility is attained; getting instruction in the stage of a celibate student, or learning (the truth) in the stage of a dweller in the forest (Vanaprastha) he (embraces) renunciation wherein all (true) knowledge is established; at the end he becomes of the form of the indivisible Brahman, the eternal, the annihilator of all doubts.
