11. “Why do you not recognise your own Self, which is an embodiment of Eternal Bliss-Essence, the Witnessing Light that illumines the inner equipments and their functions?” 

12. “Give up the intellectual misconception that the Self is the body, etc., and always meditate upon and think yourself to be the Eternal Knowledge-Bliss—the Witness of the intellect—a sheer mass of Pure Knowledge.”

13. “The body is not the Self. Like the pot, etc., the body also has form, etc.; and again, the body is a modification of the great elements such as ākāśa, just like the pot.”
