Brahmānucintanaṃ

Verse 9

आत्मानं सततं ब्रह्म संभाव्य विहरन्ति ये ।न तेषां दुष्कृतं किञ्चिद्दुष्कृतोत्था न चापदः ॥ ८ ॥

In plain words

Some people go through their days holding the Self, constantly, as Brahman. For them nothing done becomes wrongdoing, and no disaster rises up out of wrongdoing either.

Close to the Sanskrit

Those who, having constantly conceived the Self as Brahman, move about — for them there is no misdeed whatsoever, and no calamities arising out of misdeeds.
