M. N. Dutt: Men do not like the conduct of those who are engrossed in earthly desires, and there is not deed without having a desire (at its root) and all desires are, as it were, the limbs of the mind. Therefore, wise men knowing this, control their desires. The Yogi who communes with the Supreme Spirit, knows Yoga to be the perfect way to salvation by reason of the practices of his many pristine births. And remembering that, what the soul wishes, is not conducive of piety and virtuc, but that the control of the desires is at the root of all true virtue, such men do not engage in the practice of charity, Vedic learning, asceticism, Vedic rites, whose object is attainment of earthly prosperity, ceremonies, sacrifices, religious rules and meditation, with the desires of securing any advantage thereby. |

M. N. Dutt: If a man knowing my power, tries to destroy me by muttering prayers, etc., I prevail over him by deluding him with the belief that I am the ego within him. If he desire to destroy me by means of sacrifices with many presents, I deceive hiin by appearing in his mind as a most virtuous creature amongst the mobile creation, and if he wish to destroy me by mastering the Vedas and its auxiliaries, I overreach him by appearing to his mind to be the soul of virtue amongst the immobile creation. |

I am the everlasting one without an equal, whom no creature can kill or destroy. |
