Verse 24

¹⁹Bhagavan said: In the world, men who see clearly how the world really is mostly lift themselves out of their ill purpose by themselves. ²⁰The self is the teacher of the self, and for a human being especially so, since by what is before his eyes and by what he can infer he finds out what is good. ²¹And in the human state the steady, who are at home in enumeration and in yoga, see me most openly of all, filled out with every power. ²²Many are the cities made: with one foot, two, three, four, with many feet and with none. Of all of them the one made for a man is dear to me. ²³Here men who are joined truly hunt me out, the Lord, by reasons, by the qualities they take hold of and by the marks: by inference they seek me, who am not to be taken hold of.

²⁴On this they tell an old story too: the talk between the avadhuta and Yadu, whose splendour had no measure.
