2. Now next the instruction with regard to the soul (ātmādeśa).–-
‘The Soul (Ātman), indeed, is below. The Soul is above. The Soul is to the west. The Soul is to the east. The Soul is to the south. The Soul is to the north. The Soul, indeed, is this whole world.
Verily, he who sees this, who thinks this, who understands this, who has pleasure in the Soul, who has delight in the Soul, who has intercourse with the Soul, who has bliss in the Soul––he is autonomous (sva-rāj); he has unlimited freedom in all worlds. But they who know otherwise than this, are heteronomous (anya-rājan); they have perishable worlds; in all worlds they have no freedom.
