Verse 169

Tap any word for its meaning.

US-P14.023ab ।US-P14.023cd ॥

In plain words

The "mine," the "I," the straining, the wanting — in the Ātman not one of them is there at all, and that is their very nature. If you have actually seen this, then rest: stay where you already stand. What would you still strive for?

Close to the Sanskrit

Mineness, the I-sense, effort, and desires are, by their very nature, simply void in the Self — if this has been known, then abide, self-established; what use are endeavours?
