The Final Philosophy of the Veda 289

interest is abandoned, every fetter of affection, desire, passion is sundered. There is no ﬁxed abode, he lives as it happens, subsists as he may, indifferent to all but the realisation that he is the bro/5722a. This realisation of itself means the destruction of nescience: with it the phantom world of sorrow and joy sinks out of sight. The soul knowing at last that it is ﬁre/Ema, namely truth, sanders the chain that holds it captive through transmigration to the world, namely illusion, This is the salvation of the Hindu, namely the perfect knowledge that the soul of man that dwells in him is the unpolluted, not to be pollum ted, serene, holy, eternal, blissful, divine self-“the 62mm”, or Kim/lama. The realisation of this truth, un— hindered by any other desire, that is all that is needed; than it nothing else whatsoever can have anything more than temporary importance.
