cin.majjA-rUpam - a form sunk in chit.Consciousness
akhilam - entirely
ahaMtA.Adi - the "I"-ness &c is
idam Atatam - this vastness
na manAg_api - not at all.
bheda: asti - it is a distinction
dvaita.aikya.kalanA=Atmaka: - a bit of Self that causes duality&unity
.
*vlm.2. The whole plenitude of existence together with the personalities of I, thou, this and that form the plenum (or substance), of the intellect; and there is not the least difference between them, as this is one thing and that another. (All this is but one undivided whole, whose body nature is and god the soul. Pope).
*sv.1-6 The Story of the Rock: VASISTHA continued: There is yet another parable, O Rama, to illustrate this further. I shall now narrate that to you.
VASISHTHA said—

*vlm.3. Vasishtha answered--As this mundane egg or universe is likened to a gourd fruit, containing the mountains and all other things as its inner substance; so doth the intellect resemble the bel fruit or the grand substratum, that contains even the universe as the kernel inside it.
*sv.1-6 The Story of the Rock: VASISTHA continued: There is yet another parable, O Rama, to illustrate this further. I shall now narrate that to you.

#majj – to sink, plunge. —>majjan, #majjA –m.- (lit., "sunk or seated within") the marrow of bones (also applied to the pith of plants) RV. &c. (according to _SBr. &c one of the 5 elements or essential ingredients of the body ; in the later medical system that element which is produced from the bones and itself produces semen _suzr.).
*vlm.4. But tho the world has no other receptacle beside the Divine intellect, yet it is not Iiterally the kernel inside that crust; (i. e. the substance of that substratum in its literal sense). Because the world has its decay, decline and dissolution also in time, but none of these belong to the nature of the everlasting mind of god).
*sv.1-6 The Story of the Rock: VASISTHA continued: There is yet another parable, O Rama, to illustrate this further. I shall now narrate that to you.
*VA. when there is no other support for the pulp of bilva fruit, which is cit and creation, there is no destruction of this omnipresent (fruit) and it continues
to exist (always).
*AS: This verse is meant to clarify that even
though the सृष्टि is described as the inner
pulp of the bilwa fruit chit, it cannot affect the chit. If it were capable of
having a different envelope (svAdhAra.anyatva.saMbhave) it may mean to destruction
of the all pervasive chit, and that is certainly (alam) not possible.
Usually, the pulp in a fruit determines the
state of the fruit itself, and the point is being made that this fruit is very
different!!

" " O excellent man! " as the proper mode of addressing a Brahman Mn. I , 125) S3Br. &c &c; cool; auspicious.
*vlm.5. The intellect resembles the hard coating of the pepper seed, containing the soft substance of its pith inside it, and is likened also to block of stone, bearing the sculptured figures peacefully sleeping in it, (All things are engraven in the divine mind).
*sv.1-6 The Story of the Rock: VASISTHA continued: There is yet another parable, O Rama, to illustrate this further. I shall now narrate that to you.
*VA. The wonder called world is of the cit like a pepper seed (how is that?),
staying in cit like peaceful deep.sleeping inside of a stone.
*AS: Apparently, the pepper seed is hard outside
and has soft stuff inside. The cit is compared to it, with the world as its
inside. It is also compared with various figures inside a stone - they are not
physically in, but a sculptor sees and brings them out.
This is similar to the usual assertion that the
statue is always inside the stone, but only a good artist knows how to remove
the other stuff! :-)

*vlm.17. This solid substance of the intellect, notwithstanding its density and unporousness, contains all the worlds in itself, as the infinite space of heaven is filled with the subtile and atmospheric air. (The divine mind like external nature, is devoid of

*vlm.19. The solid soul of god which resembles this massive stone, contains in it all these worlds which are displayed (to our deluded sight), as so many beds of lotuses in their blooming beauty; and yet there is nothing so very pure and unsullied as this solid crystaline[crystalline] soul.

*vlm.20. As it is the practice of men to paint blocks of stones, with the figures of lotuses, conch shells and the like images; so it is the tendency of the fanciful mind, to picture many fantastic of all times in the solid rock of the soul. (The soul like a crystal stone is wholly blank in itself, it is only the imaginative mind, that tinges it in different shades and colours).
*sv.20 Even if a sculptor 'creates' different forms in the rock, it is still rock: even so in the case of this cosmic consciousness which is a homogeneous mass of consciousness.

The revolution of worlds and their changing scenes, that are seen to take place in their situation in the Divine Intellect, do not prove the changeableness of the all containing Infinite Mind, because its contents of finite things are so changeable in their nature.

*vlm.28. The word (Fiat) that has produced this all, causes their changes and dissolutions also in itself. Know then that Brahma from whom this fiat and these changes have sprung, and all these being accompanied with Brahma and the original fiat, the word change is altogether meaningless. (There is no new change from what is ordained from the beginning).
*sv.24-30a In fact, even these manifestations and modifications are but Brahman, the cosmic consciousness — tho not in the sense of manifestation or modification. Even this distinction — modification in the sense of modification, or any other sense — is meaningless in Brahman. When such expressions are used in relation to Brahman, the meaning is quite different, like water in the mirage.

*vlm.29. Brahma being both the mainspring as well as the main stay of all changes in nature; He is neither excluded from or included under any change, which occur in the sphere of his immensity: (i. e. The spirit of god being the unchanging source of all phenomenal changes, is not exempted from the mutations that occur in his infinity).[delete bracket] So says the poet. "These as they change are but the varied god &c." Thompson).)

*vlm.31. As the substance of seed goes on gradually transforming itself into the various states of its development, so the density of the divine intellect (or spirit) condenses itself the more and more in its production of solid and compact world, and this is the course of the formation of the cosmos by slow degrees.
*sv.30f. Since the seed does not contain anything other than the seed, even the flowers and the fruits are of the same nature as the seed: the substance of the seed is the substance of subsequent effects, too.
*sv.31b-38 Even so, the homogeneous mass of cosmic consciousness does not give rise to anything other than what it is in essence. When this truth is realised, duality ceases. Consciousness never becomes un-consciousness. If there is modification, that too is consciousness.

*vlm.32. The union of the seed with the process of its development forms the duality, that is destroyed by the loss of either of these. It is imagination only that paints the world as a dull material thing, when there is no such grossness in the pure intellect. (The gloss explains this passage to mean that, It is the doctrine of dualists to maintain the union of the productive seed or spirit of god, with the act of producing the material
world to be coeternal, and the one becomes null without the other, but this tenet is refuted on the ground of the impossibility of the Combination of the immaterial with the material, whence the material world is proved to be a nullity and mere illusion).
*sv.31b-38 Even so, the homogeneous mass of cosmic consciousness does not give rise to anything other than what it is in essence. When this truth is realised, duality ceases. Consciousness never becomes un-consciousness. If there is modification, that too is consciousness.

*vlm.33. The intellect and dull matter cannot both combine together, nor can the one be included under the other, therefore the ideal world resembles the marks inscribed in the stone and no way different in their natures.
*sv.31b-38 Even so, the homogeneous mass of cosmic consciousness does not give rise to anything other than what it is in essence. When this truth is realised, duality ceases. Consciousness never becomes un-consciousness. If there is modification, that too is consciousness.

*vlm.34. As the pith and marrow of a fruit, is no other than the fruit itself; so the cosmos forms the gist of the solid intellect, and no way seperable[separable] from the same; which is like a thick stone containing marks, undermarks, underlined under one another.
*sv.31b-38 Even so, the homogeneous mass of cosmic consciousness does not give rise to anything other than what it is in essence. When this truth is realised, duality ceases. Consciousness never becomes un-consciousness. If there is modification, that too is consciousness.

*vlm.37. It is the pith and marrow of the divine intellect, that causes the creative power and the act of creation; as it is the substance of the stone, that produces and reduces the figures in the stone.
*sv.31b-38 Even so, the homogeneous mass of cosmic consciousness does not give rise to anything other than what it is in essence. When this truth is realised, duality ceases. Consciousness never becomes un-consciousness. If there is modification, that too is consciousness.

*vlm.40. All things are filled with the essence of god, and remain as somnolent in the Divine mind; the various changes and conditions of things that appear to us in this world, are the mere vagaries of our erroneous fancy; for every thing is as fixed and unchanged in the mind of god, as the dormant images on a stone.

*vlm.41. All actions and motions of things are as motionless in mind of god, as the carved lie asleep in the hollow of a stone. It is the wrong superfluous view of things, that presents to us all these varieties and changes; but considered in the true and
spiritual light, there is body nor any change that presents itself to our sight.
*sv.39-41 Hence, whatever there may be, wherever and in whatever form — all this is Brahman. All these exist forever in their potential state in the mass of homogeneous consciousness.

*vlm.3. Vasishtha answered..As this mundane egg or universe is likened to a gourd fruit, containing the mountains and all other things as its inner substance; so doth the intellect resemble the bel fruit or the grand substratum, that contains even the universe as the kernel inside it.
*sv.1.6 The Story of the Rock: VASISTHA continued: There is yet another parable, O Rama, to illustrate this further. I shall now narrate that to you.

#majj – to sink, plunge. —>majjan, #majjA –m.. (lit., "sunk or seated within") the marrow of bones (also applied to the pith of plants) RV. &c. (according to _SBr. &c one of the 5 elements or essential ingredients of the body ; in the later medical system that element which is produced from the bones and itself produces semen _suzr.).
.
*vlm.4. But tho the world has no other receptacle beside the Divine intellect, yet it is not Iiterally the kernel inside that crust; (i. e. the substance of that substratum in its literal sense). Because the world has its decay, decline and dissolution also in time, but none of these belong to the nature of the everlasting mind of god).
*sv.1.6 The Story of the Rock: VASISTHA continued: There is yet another parable, O Rama, to illustrate this further. I shall now narrate that to you.
*VA. when there is no other support for the pulp of bilva fruit, which is cit and creation, there is no destruction of this omnipresent (fruit) and it continues
to exist (always).
*AS: This verse is meant to clarify that even though the सृष्टि is described as the inner
pulp of the bilwa fruit chit, it cannot affect the chit. If it were capable of
having a different envelope (svAdhAra.anyatva.saMbhave) it may mean to destruction
of the all pervasive chit, and that is certainly (alam) not possible.
Usually, the pulp in a fruit determines the
state of the fruit itself, and the point is being made that this fruit is very
different!!

*VA. The wonder called world is of the cit like a pepper seed (how is that?),
staying in cit like peaceful deep.sleeping inside of a stone.
*AS: Apparently, the pepper seed is hard outside and has soft stuff
inside. The cit is compared to it, with the world as its inside. It is also
compared with various figures inside a stone . they are not physically in, but
a sculptor sees and brings them out.
This is similar to the usual assertion that the
statue is always inside the stone, but only a good artist knows how to remove
the other stuff! :.)

*vlm.17. This solid substance of the intellect, notwithstanding its density and unporousness, contains all the worlds in itself, as the infinite space of heaven is filled with the subtile and atmospheric air. (The divine mind like external nature, is devoid of
a vacuity in it, according to the common adage: "Nature abhors a vacUm)."
*sv. O Rama, this rock is indeed the cosmic consciousness; it is rocklike in its homogeneity. Yet within it, all these diverse creatures of this universe appear to be. Just as one conceives or imagines different forms within the rock, this universe is also ignorantly imagined to exist in this consciousness.

*vlm.19. The solid soul of god which resembles this massive stone, contains in it all these worlds which are displayed (to our deluded sight), as so many beds of lotuses in their blooming beauty; and yet there is nothing so very pure and unsullied as this solid crystaline[crystalline] soul. (The soul like a crystal, reflects its light in various forms).
*sv. O Rama, this rock is indeed the cosmic consciousness; it is rocklike in its homogeneity. Yet within it, all these diverse creatures of this universe appear to be. Just as one conceives or imagines different forms within the rock, this universe is also ignorantly imagined to exist in this consciousness.

*vlm.20. As it is the practice of men to paint blocks of stones, with the figures of lotuses, conch shells and the like images; so it is the tendency of the fanciful mind, to picture many fantastic of all times in the solid rock of the soul. (The soul like a crystal stone is wholly blank in itself, it is only the imaginative mind, that tinges it in different shades and colours).
*sv.20 Even if a sculptor 'creates' different forms in the rock, it is still rock: even so in the case of this cosmic consciousness which is a homogeneous mass of consciousness.

*vlm.21. All things in the world appear to be situated exactly in the same state, as the various figures carved on the breast of a stone, seem to be separate tho they are bellied in the same relief.
*sv.21.23 Even as the solid rock contains potentially diverse figures which can be carved out of it, the diverse names and forms of the creatures of this universe exist potentially in cosmic consciousness.

*vlm.22. As the carved lotus is not distinct from the body of the stone, so no part of existence is set apart from the substantiality of the divine intellect; which represents its subtile Ideas in their condensed forms.
*sv.21.23_.. Even as rock remains rock, carved or uncarved, consciousness remains consciousness whether the world appears or not. The world.appearance is but an empty expression; its substance is naught but consciousness.

and thus they are both different from and same as the stone.

carved in a stone, are not separate from the great body of the shapeless stone.

so also the creation in the cit (does not arise or sets).

so also endless countless variations in cit as worlds and universes,
which are just empty meaningless expressions

*vlm.26. The revolution of worlds and their changing scenes, that are seen to take place in their situation in the Divine Intellect, do not prove the changeableness of the all containing Infinite Mind, because its contents of finite things are so changeable in their nature. (The container is not necessarily of the nature of its contents).

*vlm.32. The union of the seed with the process of its development forms the duality, that is destroyed by the loss of either of these. It is imagination only that paints the world as a dull material thing, when there is no such grossness in the pure intellect. (The gloss explains this passage to mean that, It is the doctrine of dualists to maintain the union of the productive seed or spirit of god, with the act of producing the material
world to be coeternal, and the one becomes null without the other, but this tenet is refuted on the ground of the impossibility of the Combination of the immaterial with the material, whence the material world is proved to be a nullity and mere illusion).
*sv.31b.38 Even so, the homogeneous mass of cosmic consciousness does not give rise to anything other than what it is in essence. When this truth is realised, duality ceases. Consciousness never becomes un.consciousness. If there is modification, that too is consciousness.

*sv.31b.38 Even so, the homogeneous mass of cosmic consciousness does not give rise to anything other than what it is in essence. When this truth is realised, duality ceases. Consciousness never becomes un.consciousness. If there is modification, that too is consciousness.

*vlm.36. There is no rising nor setting (i. e. the beginning or end), of the course of the world (in the mind of god); but every thing is as fixed and immovable in it, as the inscription carved in a stone.
*sv.31b.38 Even so, the homogeneous mass of cosmic consciousness does not give rise to anything other than what it is in essence. When this truth is realised, duality ceases. Consciousness never becomes un.consciousness. If there is modification, that too is consciousness.

*vlm.37. It is the pith and marrow of the divine intellect, that causes the creative power and the act of creation; as it is the substance of the stone, that produces and reduces the figures in the stone.
*sv.31b.38 Even so, the homogeneous mass of cosmic consciousness does not give rise to anything other than what it is in essence. When this truth is realised, duality ceases. Consciousness never becomes un.consciousness. If there is modification, that too is consciousness.

*vlm.38. As the figures in the stone, have no action or motion of their own; so the agents of the world have no action of theirs, nor is this world ever created or destroyed at any time; (but it continues for ever as carved in the mind of god).
*sv.31b.38 Even so, the homogeneous mass of cosmic consciousness does not give rise to anything other than what it is in essence. When this truth is realised, duality ceases. Consciousness never becomes un.consciousness. If there is modification, that too is consciousness.

*vlm.39. Every thing stands as fixed in the mind of god, as if they were the firm and immovable rocks; and all have their forms and positions in the same manner as they are ordained and situated in the Divine Mind.
*sv.39.41 Hence, whatever there may be, wherever and in whatever form — all this is Brahman. All these exist forever in their potential state in the mass of homogeneous consciousness.

*vlm.40. All things are filled with the essence of god, and remain as somnolent in the Divine mind; the various changes and conditions of things that appear to us in this world, are the mere vagaries of our erroneous fancy; for every thing is as fixed and unchanged in the mind of god, as the dormant images on a stone.

*vlm.41. All actions and motions of things are as motionless in mind of god, as the carved lie asleep in the hollow of a stone. It is the wrong superfluous view of things, that presents to us all these varieties and changes; but considered in the true and

substance; so doth the intellect resemble the bel fruit or the grand
substratum, that contains even the universe as the kernel inside it.

*VA. The wonder called world is of the cit like a pepper seed (how is
that?),
staying in cit like peaceful deep.sleeping inside of a stone.
*AS: Apparently, the pepper seed is hard outside and has soft stuff inside.
The cit is compared to it, with the world as its inside. It is also
compared with various figures inside a stone . they are not physically in,
but a sculptor sees and brings them out.
This is similar to the usual assertion that the statue is always inside the
stone, but only a good artist knows how to remove the other stuff! :.)

*vlm.14. Vasishtha replied[:]..You say truly, that you have seen that great
stone and know its inside also; but do you know the unperforated and
hollowless stone of the divine mind, that the universe in its concavity,
and is the life of all living beings: (and not the dull, lifeless and
hollow sálagráma stone which they worship as an emblem of the divine mind).
*sv. O Rama, this rock is indeed the cosmic consciousness; it is rocklike
in its homogeneity. Yet within it, all these diverse creatures of this
universe appear to be. Just as one conceives or imagines different forms
within the rock, this universe is also ignorantly imagined to exist in this
consciousness.

*vlm.17. This solid substance of the intellect, notwithstanding its density
and unporousness, contains all the worlds in itself, as the infinite space
of heaven is filled with the subtile and atmospheric air. (The divine mind
like external nature, is devoid of
a vacuity in it, according to the common adage: "Nature abhors a vacUm)."

is filled by the earth and sky, the air and atmosphere, and the mountains
and rivers on all sides, there is not hole or hollow, which is not occupied
by some thing or other in it.

*vlm.19. The solid soul of god which resembles this massive stone, contains
in it all these worlds which are displayed (to our deluded sight), as so
many beds of lotuses in their blooming beauty; and yet there is nothing so
very pure and unsullied as this solid crystaline[crystalline] soul. (The
soul like a crystal, reflects its light in various forms).

in its homogeneity. Yet within it, all these diverse creatures of this

*vlm.20. As it is the practice of men to paint blocks of stones, with the
figures of lotuses, conch shells and the like images; so it is the tendency
of the fanciful mind, to picture many fantastic of all times in the solid
rock of the soul. (The soul like a crystal stone is wholly blank in itself,
it is only the imaginative mind, that tinges it in different shades and
colours).
*sv.20 Even if a sculptor 'creates' different forms in the rock, it is
still rock: even so in the case of this cosmic consciousness which is a
homogeneous mass of consciousness.

*sv.21.23 Even as the solid rock contains potentially diverse figures which
can be carved out of it, the diverse names and forms of the creatures of
this universe exist potentially in cosmic consciousness.

zilA.antar.lekhA=Adi *– the image (vein of ore) in stone *

tat.sAratvAt – *than That Essence *

kartRtva.Adi=jagac.citi: *. *
*the (effective) process of doership as the affective process of the world*
*. *
*vlm.36. There is no rising nor setting (i. e. the beginning or end), of
the course of the world (in the mind of god); but every thing is as fixed
and immovable in it, as the inscription carved in a stone.
*sv.31b.38 Even so, the homogeneous mass of cosmic consciousness does not
give rise to anything other than what it is in essence. When this truth is
realised, duality ceases. Consciousness never becomes un.consciousness. If
there is modification, that too is consciousness.

*vlm.37. It is the pith and marrow of the divine intellect, that causes the
creative power and the act of creation; as it is the substance of the
stone, that produces and reduces the figures in the stone.
*sv.31b.38 Even so, the homogeneous mass of cosmic consciousness does not
give rise to anything other than what it is in essence. When this truth is
realised, duality ceases. Consciousness never becomes un.consciousness. If
there is modification, that too is consciousness.

*vlm.38. As the figures in the stone, have no action or motion of their
own; so the agents of the world have no action of theirs, nor is this world
ever created or destroyed at any time; (but it continues for ever as carved
in the mind of god).
*sv.31b.38 Even so, the homogeneous mass of cosmic consciousness does not
give rise to anything other than what it is in essence. When this truth is
realised, duality ceases. Consciousness never becomes un.consciousness. If

suSupta.stham iva sthitam *– situate as.if set in a dream*

*vlm.39. Every thing stands as fixed in the mind of god, as if they were
the firm and immovable rocks; and all have their forms and positions in the
same manner as they are ordained and situated in the Divine Mind.
*sv.39.41 Hence, whatever there may be, wherever and in whatever form — all
this is Brahman. All these exist forever in their potential state in the
mass of homogeneous consciousness.

*vlm.40. All things are filled with the essence of god, and remain as
somnolent in the Divine mind; the various changes and conditions of things
that appear to us in this world, are the mere vagaries of our erroneous
fancy; for every thing is as fixed and unchanged in the mind of god, as the
dormant images on a stone.

*vlm.41. All actions and motions of things are as motionless in mind of
god, as the carved lie asleep in the hollow of a stone. It is the wrong
superfluous view of things, that presents to us all these varieties and
changes; but considered in the true and
spiritual light, there is body nor any change that presents itself to our
sight.
*sv.39.41 Hence, whatever there may be, wherever and in whatever form — all
this is Brahman. All these exist forever in their potential state in the
