Viveka Chudamani (51-100)
51. A father has got his sons and others to free him from his debts, but he has got none but himself to remove his bondage. 52. Trouble such as that caused by a load on the head can be removed by others, but none but one’s own self can put a stop to the…
Viveka Chudamani (101-150)

Viveka Chudamani (301-350)
301. That which has been created by the Buddhi extremely deluded by Nescience, and which is perceived in this body as “I am such and such”– when that egoism is totally destroyed, one attains an unobstructed identity with Brahman. 302.
