The treasure of the Bliss of Brahman is coiled round by the mighty and dreadful serpent of egoism, and guarded for its own use by means of its three fierce hoods consisting of the three Gu峁嘺s. Only the wise man, destroying it by severing its three hoods with the great sword of realisation in accordance with the teachings of the 艢rutis, can enjoy this treasure which confers bliss.
Notes:
[In this Sloka Egoism is compared to a threeheaded snake. Sattva, Rajas and Tamas鈥攂alance, activity and inertia鈥攁re spoken of as its three hoods. The way to destroy it is through Realisation. When Egoism is gone, one is conscious of his real nature as Brahman. The appropriateness of the metaphors is obvious. ]
