Verse 157

Tap any word for its meaning.

US-P14.011ab ।US-P14.011cd ॥

In plain words

The ātman is what is left when everything else has been set aside — not this, not this, not this. And if that is what the knower of Brahman actually is, what is there left for him to reach for?

Close to the Sanskrit

That Self which is left remaining by the exclusion of everything other, in the form 'not this, not this' — if that is accepted as the very self of the knower of Brahman, how would he strive for anything beyond this?
