Janaka said:
The inner
freedom of having nothing is hard to achieve, even with
just a loin-cloth, but I live as I please, abandoning both
renunciation and acquisition. 13.1
Sometimes
one experiences distress because of one's body, sometimes
because of one's speech, and sometimes because of one's mind.
Abandoning all of these, I live as I please in the goal of human life. 13.2
Recognising
that in reality no action is ever committed, I live as I please,
ust doing what presents itself to be done. 13.3
Yogis who
identify themselves with their bodies are insistent on
fulfilling and avoiding certain actions, but I live as I please
abandoning attachment and rejection. 13.4
No benefit
or loss comes to me by standing, walking or lying down,
so consequently I live as I please whether standing,
walking or sleeping.13.5
I lose
nothing by sleeping and gain nothing by effort, so consequently
I live as I please, abandoning success and failure. 13.6
Continually
observing the drawbacks of such things as pleasant objects,
I live as I please, abandoning the pleasant and unpleasant. 13.7
