Those who contemplate on the Unmanifest, which is motionless, undefinable, all-pervading, unthinkable, peak-like, unmoving, and fixed.
Those who worship Me as the Indestructible, the Undefinable, the Omnipresent, the Unthinkable, the Primeval, the Immutable and the Eternal;
But those who meditate on the Imperishable (i.e., the self) the indefinable, the unmanifest, omnipresent, unthinkable, common to all beings, immovable and constant;
Those, however, who meditate in every way on the Immutable, the Indefinable, the Unmanifest, which is all-pervading, incomprehensible, change-less, immovable and constant.-

But the trouble is much greater for those who have their minds fixed on the Unmanifest, for it is difficult for those with physical bodies to attain the Unmanifest goal.
But they who thus fix their attention on the Absolute and Impersonal encounter greater hardships, for it is difficult for those who possess a body to realise Me as without one.
Greater is the difficulty of those whose minds are thus attached to the unmanifest. For the way of the unmanifest is hard to reach by embodied beings.
For them who have their minds attached to the Unmanifested the struggle is greater; for, the Goal which is the Unmanifest is attained with difficulty by the embodied ones.
Greater is their trouble whose minds are set on the Unmanifested; for the goal–the Unmanifested–is very difficult for the embodied to reach.

Who, by properly restraining the group of sense-organs, remain equanimous at all stages and find pleasure in the welfare of all beings—they attain nothing but Me.
Subduing their senses, viewing all conditions of life with the same eye, and working for the welfare of all beings, assuredly they come to Me.
Having subdued all the senses, being even-minded, engaged in the welfare of all beings - they too come to Me only.
By fully controlling all the organs and always being even-minded, they, engaged in the welfare of all beings, attain Me alone.
Having restrained all the senses, even-minded everywhere, intent on the welfare of all beings–verily they also come unto Me.
