Whatever manifests in the mind (cittam) that is imbued with excellent insight and is identical with the (ātman) Self, that very thing then becomes the (ātman) Self manifested in the form of a body (deha). Therefore, realizing that 'this body (deha) does not exist, nor am I (aham) this (deha),' but rather that the true nature (svarūpam) is a singular (ekam) pure consciousness (vijñānam), abide without desire.
