41. This Brahman is profound, beginningless, ageless, infinite, and one; its manifestation, arising from mere mental volition (saṃkalpa), is in ultimate reality non-existent. Having understood this, you, whose ego (māna), objects of knowledge, and delusion have vanished, live immersed in liberation (nirvāṇa) and be free from sorrow.

41. בהבינך כי הכל הוא בְּרַהְמַן צפוף, נצחי, אינסופי ואחד, ושרטט המחשבות והכוונות כלל אינו קיים במציאות, התרחק מעיוורון המדידה וההערכה, חיה בנִרְוָאָנָה ושכון ללא יגון.
