Chapter

Janaka
The
inner freedom of having nothing is hard to
achieve, even with just a loin-cloth, but
I live as I please abandoning both
renunciation and acquisition. 13.1
Sometimes
one experiences distress because of one's
body, sometimes because of one's tongue,
and sometimes because of one's mind.
Abandoning all of these, I live as I
please in the goal of human existence.
13.2
Recognising
that in reality no action is ever
committed, I live as I please, just doing
what presents itself to be done. 13.3
Yogis
who identify themselves with their bodies
are insistent on fulfilling and avoiding
certain actions, but I live as I please
abandoning attachment and rejection. 13.4
No
benefit or loss comes to me by standing,
walking or lying down, so consequently I
live as I please whether standing, walking
or sleeping. 13.5
I
lose nothing by sleeping and gain nothing
by effort, so consequently I live as I
please, abandoning loss and success. 13.6
Frequently
observing the drawbacks of such things as
pleasant objects, I live as I please,
abandoning the pleasant and unpleasant.
