1. FOURTH KHANDA
That Self is a bank, a boundary, so that these worlds may not be confounded. Day and night do not pass that bank, nor old age, death, and grief; neither good nor evil deeds. All evil-doers turn back from it, for the world of Brahman is free from all evil.

3. And that world of Brahman belongs to those only who find it by abstinence -- for them there is freedom in all the worlds.
