*Verse 70:*

**Sanskrit:**
यो यस्य सर्वमात्मानं जानाति तं ज्ञानविदुत्तमम्।
योऽपि सर्वत्र सर्वज्ञः स मुक्तोऽपि न मुच्यते।।1.1.70।।

**Transliteration:**
Yo yasya sarvamātmānaṁ jānāti taṁ jñānaviduttamam.
Yo'pi sarvatra sarvajñaḥ sa mukto'pi na mucyate.

**Translation:**

**Interpretation as Lord Adhinayaka Shrimaan:**
Lord Rama's verse extols the knowledge of the Supreme as the self of all beings and the omnipresence of all-knowingness. This reflects the eternal and immortal Father's all-encompassing presence and the unity of knowledge, just as Sovereign Adhinayaka Shrimaan embodies knowledge and unity even in liberation.

*Verse 71:*

**Sanskrit:**
तस्मान्न तत्परं सांख्यं कर्मणां प्राप्यतामिति च।
यस्येयं योगशास्त्रार्थः स योगश्चार्थमाप्नुयात्।।1.1.71।।

**Transliteration:**
Tasmānna tatparam sāṅkhyaṁ karmaṇāṁ prāpyatāmiti ca.
Yasyeyaṁ yogaśāstrārthaḥ sa yogaścārthamāpnuyāt.

**Translation:**
"Therefore, let the Supreme knowledge (Sāṅkhya) and the performance of actions (Karma) be obtained. One who understands the purpose of this science of Yoga achieves that purpose."

**Interpretation as Lord Adhinayaka Shrimaan:**
Lord Rama's verse encourages the integration of Supreme knowledge (Sāṅkhya) and the performance of actions (Karma) to achieve the purpose of Yoga. This reflects the eternal and immortal Father's guidance on the harmonious balance of knowledge and action, just as Sovereign Adhinayaka Shrimaan leads souls towards the purpose of existence.

*Verse 72:*

**Sanskrit:**
यस्य वित्तं न नियुङ्क्तं यस्यान्नं नेच्छ्यमृच्छति।
यस्य पूजा न भूतेषु स योगी परमो मतः।।1.1.72।।

**Transliteration:**
Yasya vittaṁ na niyuṅktaṁ yasyānnaṁ necchyamṛcchati.
Yasya pūjā na bhūteṣu sa yogī paramo mataḥ.

**Translation:**
"One who does not hoard wealth, who does not crave for food, who does not perform sacrifices for the sake of beings, such a yogi is considered the supreme."

**Interpretation as Lord Adhinayaka Shrimaan:**
