Sloka 26, Ulladu Narpadu - Part II / Ramana Maharshi / Indian Philosophy

English Translations:

1.     Truth  Revealed  / Grant Duff “Having enquired into (the nature of) all the states, (wakeful, dreaming and deep sleep), and ever holding steadfastly at heart to that State Supreme which is absolute and which is free from illusion, play in the world, O Raghava, the Hero! Thou have realized That in the heart which is Substratum of truth of all appearances. Therefore, without ever abandoning that (right) perspective, play in the world just as you like.”

2.    The Forty on Existence Sadhu Arunachala (Major A.W.Chadwick)

“Having looked in to the three states of life, In Heart hold fast unto the State Supreme That really is, but in the world e`er play ! That in the Heart you`ve known, that basis is Of all appearance; holding to That Play in the world in any way you like!

3.    Revelation / K. Lakshmana Sarma Keeping mental hold of that state of Reality, which remains over after inquiry into the truth of all states of being, act in the world like one that is governed by desires (without being really subject to them); thou knowest the immortal Truth behind all (these) appearances; keeping hold of that outlook, be active in the world, like one swayed by desire, (but) with mind at peace
