In the highest heaven, there shines a reality that is unmanifest, eternal, and solitary. It is untouched by the cycles of creation and destruction, standing alone in its own splendor. Only through union with Me does one attain this eternal state—a state without beginning or end, infinite in every direction. Though this reality has no start or middle, it becomes veiled by ignorance, causing souls to wander in confusion. Yet, this imperishable and supreme light is none other than the highest abode of Vishnu. Truly, that alone is the entire world; when one knows this, liberation dawns. The wise, having tasted the bliss of Brahman, become utterly fearless, for nothing remains to threaten or disturb them. One who has become identified with Brahman is filled with unending joy, delighting always in the Self. Such a one, having reached that state, never returns to the realm of sorrow and rebirth. This abode is radiant, pure, and boundless like the open sky. It is the Lord—Brahman Himself—the enjoyer of supreme bliss. For those who realize this truth, eternal peace is theirs; it is not found elsewhere. The Lord pervades all, and nothing else is desired apart from Him. This teaching is to be kept especially secret, for it is difficult to attain, even for yogis. The supreme reality, self-luminous and resplendent, is established in the highest sky. It is without qualities, pure consciousness itself, and the wise alone behold it. They see that supreme Brahman, marked out by the scriptures. There is no knowledge of That, for That is the very knower of all things; everything else is ignorance, for the world is woven of illusion. The wise declare, “That indeed is my Self.” Having realized the one imperishable reality, they have attained the highest state. Through devotion, these know Me truly; they are of My very own essence. This state is eternal bliss, undivided, and of the nature of truth. Abiding in their own Self, peaceful, they rest in the supreme unmanifest of the Supreme. The wise know that nirvāṇa, unity with Brahman, and the state of absolute aloneness (kaivalya) are all one and the same. He is the Lord, the great God; knowing Him, one is freed. That which eternally shines, unmoving, truly appears to the wise. They behold this unmoving reality as the Lord Himself. Those who have grasped the true meaning of the Vedas meditate upon this reality. It is the god Śiva alone who shines forth in all. Therefore, one should diligently practice yoga constantly. By this yoga, the self is perceived—radiant like the sun—as the Lord. From this arises serene knowledge, directly granting the attainment of nirvāṇa. To one who is steadfast in this knowledge of yoga, the great Lord becomes gracious. Those who practice My yoga here are to be known as great lords. Yet, there is another, the great yoga—the highest of all yogas. It is called the yoga of non-being, by which one perceives the self as it truly is. This great yoga, spoken of as unity with Me, is the Supreme Lord Himself. None of the other yogas can reach even a sixteenth part of the yoga of Brahman. Of all yogas, this yoga alone is considered supreme.
