  "I regulate (control) the internal
feelings as uniform substances (ethereal
elements), I am all-pervading. I am
entirely the nature of the Soul of the
Universe (the limitless Self).  I am
indeed That. I am imperishable." (11)

  niShkalo.ahaM niShkriyo.aham.h

  "I drive away, I redeem, I am the Self
of all, primeval, eternal (perpetual).
I am of the nature of perceptibility.
I am indeed That. I am imperishable." (12)

Note: Regarding "niShkala", there are many
mantras in the R^igVeda stating that evil
forces/actions are driven away (expelled)
from those offering sacrifices/prayers to
God/the Universal Soul/highest Consciousness,
if they only pray for this. That is how I
interpret this word, because if outside and
internal evils are driven away, we can be
redeemed and led to true j~naana.

Another Note:  "Perceptibility" also means
perceivability, discernibility, evidence,
demonstration, knowable.

P.S. I'm sorry if this is a duplicate, but I've
been having trouble the past two days getting
these posted.
