(15) Whenever one desires to give up one's body, oh King, one should as a sage, without being disturbed, comfortably seated and with one's thinking unperturbed by matters of time and place, in control of the life air, restrain the senses with the help of the mind.
(16) Regulating the mind by the power of one's pure intelligence, in relation to the original witness within, one should merge with this self. That self should be confined to the fully satisfied Supersoul. And thus, putting an end to all activities, one will attain full bliss.
(17) Therein one will not find the supremacy of time, that for sure controls the godly who direct the worldly creatures with their demigods. Nor will one find there mundane goodness, passion, or ignorance, or any material change, or causality of nature at large.
(18) Knowing what and what not relates to the divine of the transcendental position, they who wish to avoid what is godless, completely give up the perplexities [of arguing to time and place], and place thereto in purely at Him directed good-will every moment His worshipable lotus feet in their heart.
(19) The sage, familiar with the science of properly regulating the force [of the senses] in service of the purpose of life, should retire in the following way:
- he must block his arse ['air-hole'] with his heel
- and direct the life air upward
- through the six primary places [navel, plexus, heart, throat, eyebrows and top of the skull]
- and thus overcome the state of material inertia.
(20) The meditator should, with the strength of his vision of wisdom, gradually
- direct the life breath from the navel to the plexus [the 'heart']
- and from there to the chest
- from where he should bring it slowly into his throat
- and thus extinguish his material desires.
(21) The seer who is of detachment should, in order to attain the Supreme, by blocking the seven outlets [the ears, the eyes, the nostrils and the mouth], from between the eyebrows enter the domain of the head, to remain there for a while ['half an hour'] for the sake of the ever fresh eternality.
