Translation

The Supreme Brahman is space–like, pure, devoid of differentiation, boundless, actionless, changeless and beyond expressions like inside and outside. It is not distinct from the inner Self. It is non–dual and self–evident. Once it is known, what else remains to be known?

Annotation

Adjectives up to ‘beyond expressions like inside and outside’ are common to space and Brahman. The later adjectives ‘non–dual’ etc., relate to Brahman. Comparison of Brahman with space is only to illustrate the nature of Brahman to the student. In reality there is no comparison to Brahman (Jagadguru).
