Cycle of Birth and Death

"A drop of water runs off a lotus leaf and cannot cling to it. In that fashion, sin does not taint one who knows about the brahman. The immortal brahman graints freedom from fire and he is in the pupils of the eyes. He who knows this, ensures his own welfare. The brahman is the one presides over all good deeds. The brahman is the radiant one and he grants radiance to others. A person who attains this knowledge becomes like the gods. Such learned ones are freed the cycle of birth and death."
