Through concentrating the mind in consciousness, through dreading the sense objects, / and through abandoning attachment, its destruction is declared. // 11
Devoted to restraining desire, free from anger and the like, / devoid of possessiveness, devoid of egotism, they are never bound by actions. // 12
For this self is omnipresent, subtle, devoid of enjoyment. / Yogins perceive it through meditation, through cessation of the breath. // 13
A creature wanders so long in saṃsāra among the four classes of wombs, / until it seeks the self; and when that is found, there is no [further] birth. // 14
