[12] Where there is but the one perfectly pure consciousness without a second, there the Mahātmas experience no grief or delusion1. When these are absent there is neither action nor rebirth. Such is the conclusion of the knowers of the Veda. ~Alston
12. All grief and delusion are removed from those great souls when there arises the very pure14knowledge of the non-dual Self. It is the conclusion of those who know the meaning of the Vedas that there cannot be any action or birth in the absence of grief and delusion. ~Jagadananda
12. When there is completely non-dual and stainless knowledge, then the great-souled experiences neither sorrow nor delusion. In the absence of both there is neither action nor birth. This is the firm belief ofthose who know the Veda. ~Mayeda
