THE TRUE KNOWER

33. The ignorant constantly take' to
the practice of concentration and control
of the mind. The wise abiding in their real
Self, like persons in sleep, do not find any-
thing to be done.
[Take etc. See note 1, verse 17 of the present
chapter.
2 Like etc.-During deep sleep we lose all consci-
ousness of our body, mind, etc. Exactly in the same
way in the waking state, the wise one remains
detached from body-consciousness in the enjoyment
of perfect bliss in Self.]

34. The ignorant person does not
attain peace either by inaction' or by
action. The wise one becomes happy mere-

and bodily activities. Such devices do not help.
The state of Self-knowledge is a state of inner
illumination.]
