Fifteenth Chapter
A striver who firmly believes that God is the root cause of this world and He is the noblest Supreme person, comes to know all and nothing remains to be done for him. One should seek the Supreme person from Whom this world has sprung and has been going on from time immemorial, and having attained Him, one never returns. The strivers who possess the eye of wisdom, know him in reality. That Supreme person residing in the form of effulgence (light) in the Sun, and the moon and the fire, illumes the world. He, entering the earth, supports all beings, and becoming the sapid moon, nourishes trees, plants and vines etc. He taking the form of fire lodged in the body of beings, digests the four kinds of food. He remains seated in the hearts of all beings. He is the author of the Vedanta, and the knower of the Vedas, and He is worth knowing by the Vedas. He sustains the entire universe. He is beyond the perishable world, and is superior to the imperishable soul. He is known as the Supreme Person in the world and in the Vedas. Therefore a striver knowing Him as the Supreme Person , should worship Him with exclusive devotion.
Sixteenth Chapter
Demoniac traits or evils lead a man to eighty four lacs forms of lives as well as, to hells. Therefore a man should be free from the bondage of the world, the cycle of birth and death, by possessing divine traits and virtues. Those who having renounced the demoniac traits such as hypocrisy, arrogance, pride, desire, anger and greed etc., possess the divine traits such as fearlessness, nonviolence, truth, absences of anger, compassion, Yagna (worship of God, performance of sacrifice and other duties), charity and austerity etc., are liberated from the bondage of the world. But those who are guided by demoniac traits and evils such as desire, anger, greed, worry, egoism etc., and indulge in them, pave the path for eighty-four lac forms of lives and hells.
