so

without knowing an 'I' as something that yields good o&r bad fruit

bearing the fruit of saMsAra

desire becomes inner peace.

~vlm.1 Vasishtha said:-~it is by means of the knowledge of one's want of egoism, that the arbor of his desire, which is productive of the fruit of worldliness, and which is fraught with the taste of all kinds of sweet and bitterness; may be checked in its growth.

~sv.1-2-3 VASISTHA continued: This mighty tree known as creation which yields the sweet and bitter fruits of happiness and unhappiness (or good and evil) ceases the moment the egosense is known to be false.

*jd.1 - अहम्-वेदनाद् एवम् thus, after your not.knowing "I" = शुभ~अशुभ-फल=प्रदा the sweet.bitter-fruit=yielding = संसार-फलिनी saMsAra-fruiting = नूनम् now-then = इच्छा अन्तर् उपशाम्यति icchA Wish/Desire within approaches peace.

thru pracice of not knowing an 'I'

a clod or a stone are as good as gold

having.become so

the painful crush of being is appeased

:

a person does not suffocate

.

~vlm.2. It is by one's habit of thinking his unegoism, that he comes to view both gold and stone, as well as all sorts of rubbish in the same light; and by being calm and quiet at all events, has never any cause of sorrow at any thing whatsoever.

~sv.1-2-3 VASISTHA continued: This mighty tree known as creation which yields the sweet and bitter fruits of happiness and unhappiness (or good and evil) ceases the moment the egosense is known to be false.

#loST -> #loSTa-: a lump of earth or clay, clod • #loSTam rust of iron. •• #loSTaghAta a blow with a clod • (loSTtam >han, to kill with clods i.e. stone to death. •• #loSTaka -m.- a small clod _mbh. (loSTaka: kRta: "cut to bits").

#tam -> #paritam P. -ताम्यति, to gasp for breath, be oppressed _suzr. -> #paritAmyati suffocates, pr. [4] ac. sg. 3 }[tam].

~vlm.2 By the habit of thinking one has no egoism, one comes to view both gold and stone and all sorts of rubbish in the same light. By being calm and quiet in all events, one never has any cause for sorrow at anything whatsoever.

~vlm.4 The stone of egoism is flung from the parapets of the body by the gigantic force of spiritual knowledge. We do not know where this heavy egoism will land and be lost.

~sv.5-6-7 When self-knowledge dispels the ignorant notion of the egosense, the egosense which till then was believed to be a solid reality disappears and one does not know where it goes. Neither does one know where the prime mover of the body, which had also been assumed to be a solid reality, goes.

~vlm.5 After the stone of egoism is flung away by the great force of the knowledge of _brahman_, we cannot say where this engine of the body is lost forever.

~vlm.6 The meaning of ego is frost in the heart of man. It melts under the sunshine of the lack of ego. It flies off in vapor, then disappears into nothing we know not where.

~sv.8 The leaf (body) draws to itself the moisture (egosense) from the earth, but the sun (self-knowledge in which the egosense is seen to be false) evaporates it and turns it into subtle water-vapour (Brahman).

~vlm.8. The moisture of egoism, being sucked up from the leafy body of the living, flies by the process of its suction by the solar heat, to the unknown region of endless vacuum.

~vlm.11. Egoism is seated as the minute seed, in the heart of the fig tree of the body; where it sprouts forth and stretches its branches, composing the different parts of the world (i. e. the seed of egoism develops itself in the form of the creation which is a creature of its own).

~vlm.13. As the small seed is seen by every one, to contain within it a large tree, which develops itself into a hundred branches, bearing all their leaves, flowers and abundance of fruits; so doth the big body reside with the atomic seed of egoism, with all its endless parts of corporeal organs and mental faculties, which are discernible to the sight of the intelligent.

~vlm.14 Egoism is not to be had in the body by reasoning, which points out the mind of everybody, but seek it in the sphere of Empty Consciousness. The seed of egoism does not spring from the heart of unreality. The blunder of the reality of the world is destroyed by the fire proceeding from the spiritual wisdom of the wise.

*vlm.1 Vasishtha said:..it is by means of the knowledge of one's want of egoism, that the arbor of his desire, which is productive of the fruit of worldliness, and which is fraught with the taste of all kinds of sweet and bitterness; may be checked in its growth.

*sv.1.2.3 VASISTHA continued: This mighty tree known as creation which yields the sweet and bitter fruits of happiness and unhappiness (or good and evil) ceases the moment the egosense is known to be false.

*jd.1 अहम्.वेदनाद् एवम् thus, after your not.knowing "I" = शुभ.अशुभ.फल=प्रदा the sweet.bitter.fruit=yielding = संसार.फलिनी saMsAra.fruiting = नूनम् now.then = इच्छा अन्तर् उपशाम्यति icchA Wish/Desire within approaches peace.

.

so

without knowing an 'I' as something that yields good o&r bad fruit

bearing the fruit of saMsAra

desire becomes inner peace.

*vlm.1 Vasishtha said:..it is by means of the knowledge of one's want of egoism, that the arbor of his desire, which is productive of the fruit of worldliness, and which is fraught with the taste of all kinds of sweet and bitterness; may be checked in its growth.

*sv.1.2.3 VASISTHA continued: This mighty tree known as creation which yields the sweet and bitter fruits of happiness and unhappiness (or good and evil) ceases the moment the egosense is known to be false.

*vlm.2. It is by one's habit of thinking his unegoism, that he comes to view both gold and stone, as well as all sorts of rubbish in the same light; and by being calm and quiet at all events, has never any cause of sorrow at any thing whatsoever.

*sv.1.2.3 VASISTHA continued: This mighty tree known as creation which yields the sweet and bitter fruits of happiness and unhappiness (or good and evil) ceases the moment the egosense is known to be false.

*vlm.10 this formless egoism abides in him, either as gross matter, the subtle spirit, or in some state or the other which, though far away from him, seems to be united with him.

*vlm.11. Egoism is seated as the minute seed, in the heart of the fig tree of the body; where it sprouts forth and stretches its branches, composing the different parts of the world (i. e. the seed of egoism develops itself in the form of the creation which is a creature of its own).

so

without knowing an 'I' as something that yields good o&r bad fruit

bearing the fruit of saMsAra

desire becomes inner peace.

*vlm.1 Vasishtha said:..it is by means of the knowledge of one's want of egoism, that the arbor of his desire, which is productive of the fruit of worldliness, and which is fraught with the taste of all kinds of sweet and bitterness; may be checked in its growth.

*sv.1.2.3 VASISTHA continued: This mighty tree known as creation which yields the sweet and bitter fruits of happiness and unhappiness (or good and evil) ceases the moment the egosense is known to be false.
