who is eternal.

but water does not know It.

Death is Its body.
It dwells in death,
but death does not know it.
He is the innermost self
of all living beings.
All his sins have been destroyed
and his is the luminous god Narayana.
The body, the senses, etcetera,
are objects which have no soul.
The projection of the ego on these,
is adhyasa, illusion.
Therefore the wise man should destroy this illusion
by having faith in brahma.
