The third refrain-verse, and in it an image worth remembering: śilāyā hṛdayam — “the heart of a stone”.
It is the same as the stone, save for one thing: the inertness.
Take the stone's stillness, its unconcern, its indestructibility — and take out of it the insentience. What remains is the thing sought.
This is the most exact description the book has given.
And the last line is the best in the whole chapter: yo'si so'si sthiro bhava.
“Who thou art, that thou art. Be firm.”
Nothing has to be become. No need to turn into another, to procure, to ascend. Cast off the mind — and thou remainest who thou art anyway.
Recall 4.72: “thou art free; cast off the delusion”. Here the same thought, said still more briefly, and on it the chapter's first half ends.
