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.

English: 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.
Sanskrit: यो मां प्रयतते हन्तुं धृत्या सत्यपराक्रमः। भावो भवामि तस्याहं स च मां नावबुध्यते॥ यो मां प्रयतते हन्तुं तपसा संशितव्रतः। ततस्तपसि तस्याथ पुनः प्रादुर्भवाम्यहम्॥ यो मां प्रयतते हन्तुं मोक्षमास्थाय पण्डितः। तस्य मोक्षरतिस्थस्य नृत्यामि च हसामि च। अवध्यः सर्वभूतानामहमेकः सनातनः॥

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