maitrI.Adaya: guNA: jAtA: - qualities such as Friendliness are born

iti uktam kim tvayA prabho – is that what you are saying? Sir?

~vlm. How do you say, Sir, that the quality of benevolence sprang in the mind of the sage, after it had been wholly absorbed in itself by its rationality? (since the total insensibility of one in himself, cannot have any regard for others).

~m.2-3 O sage, when Vitahavya's mind vanished, how can you say that some qualities like compassion sprouted in him? When mind merged in Brahman, to whom these qualities apply? How did they spring up? Please tell me, O best of orators.

jIvan.mukta: sa.rUpa: syAt - someone Living.Free would be Formful,

a.rUpo deha.mukti-ja: - Formless the bodily-Freeborn.

~vlm.4. Vasishtha replied:—There are two kinds of mental numbness, the one being its coma in the living body; and the other its deadliness after the material body is dead and gone. (The one is svarUpa and the other arUpa; the first having its formal existence, and the other being a formless one).

~vlm.5. The possession of the mind is the cause of woe, and its extinction is the spring of happiness; therefore one should practise the abrasion of the essence of his mind (or personality); in order to arrive to its utter extinction.

~m.4-9 .... In this world, the existence of mind causes grief. Destruction of mind yields happiness. So one has to destroy the existence of mind and achieve the vanishing of mind. Know that mind is spread with a net of vasanas. This is the cause of recurnence of births and consequently grief 'this load of qualities is mine_a - so think many people. This kind of ignorant mind is called 'jiva', the being. As long as mind is existing, there is no question of decline of sorrow. When mind in people vanishes, then this mutable world also vanishes. Know that mind is at the root of all sorrow in the world.

~vlm.7. He is reckoned as a miserable being, who thinks much of his person, and esteems his body, as the product of the good deserts of his past lives; and who accounts his foolish and blinded mind as a great gift to him.

Listen, Just like breath, which can not stir a mountain, a wise man of steadfast nature will not be shaken by happinesses or sorrows. Then it is said that his mind has vanished.

This is experienced while in life and is unrelated to body. And so it is said to be with form. Such destruction of mind is seen in 'jivnmuktas'. These resultant qualities like friendliness are very delightful and shine like moon in a 'jivanmukta'. These are like sprouts in spring.

~vlm.22. The living liberated person being mindless of himself, becomes as cold hearted as a plant growing in a frigid climate, where it blooms with its mild virtues, likening the blossoms of the winter plant.

~m.18-22 ... It will be full of excellent and highly virtuous vasanas. It will be free of any rebirth. Such mind of a 'jivanmukta' is called 'sattwa' (quality). This is experienced while in life and is unrelated to body. And so it is said to be with form. Such destruction of mind is seen in 'jivnmuktas'. These resultant qualities like friendliness are very delightful and shine like moon in a 'jivanmukta'. These are like sprouts in spring.

~vlm.24. All the excellent virtues and qualities, which reside in the embodied soul, are utterly lost and drowned in the disembodied soul, upon its liberation from the knowledge of its personality.

~m.23-29 ... Even 'sattwa', which is the best of all qualities, will be dissolved in that most sacred 'videha mukti'. In this kind of mind destruction, there will not be any phenomenon. In the formless mind destruction, there will neither be quality nor qualitylessness, wealth or poverty, nor fickleness neither morning nor evening, neither happiness nor sorrow, neither light nor darkness, neither day nor night, neither sky nor quarters, neither calamity nor vasana, neither desire nor desirelessness, neither attachment nor existence nor non-existence, not even their conjunction. It is a kind of pure and clear autumn-sky state.

~m.23-29 ... Even 'sattwa', which is the best of all qualities, will be dissolved in that most sacred 'videha mukti'. In this kind of mind destruction, there will not be any phenomenon.

*vlm.p.1. Vasishtha said:—After sage Vitahavya had subdued his heart and mind by his self inquiry and reasoning, there arose in him the qualities of universal benevolence and generosity.

 

RÂMA interjected—

maitrI.Adaya: guNA: jAtA: . qualities such as Friendliness are born

iti uktam kim tvayA prabho – is that what you are saying? Sir

?

*vlm. How do you say, Sir, that the quality of benevolence sprang in the mind of the sage, after it had been wholly absorbed in itself by its rationality? (since the total insensibility of one in himself, cannot have any regard for others).

*m.2.3 O sage, when Vitahavya's mind vanished, how can you say that some qualities like compassion sprouted in him? When mind merged in Brahman, to whom these qualities apply? How did they spring up? Please tell me, O best of orators.

*vlm.3. Tell me Sir, that art the best of speakers, how can the feelings of universal love and friendliness, arise in the heart which is wholly cold and quiet, or in the mind which is entranced in the divine spirit?

*m.2.3 O sage, when Vitahavya's mind vanished, how can you say that some qualities like compassion sprouted in him? When mind merged in Brahman, to whom these qualities apply? How did they spring up? Please tell me, O best of orators.

jIvan.mukta: sa.rUpa: syAt . someone Living.Free would be Formful,

a.rUpo deha.mukti.ja: . Formless the bodily.Freeborn.

*vlm.4. Vasishtha replied:—There are two kinds of mental numbness, the one being its coma in the living body; and the other its deadliness after the material body is dead and gone. (The one is svarUpa and the other arUpa; the first having its formal existence, and the other being a formless one).

Affective mind is Being

kSayam nItvA . led to its destruction

.

*vlm.5. The possession of the mind is the cause of woe, and its extinction is the spring of happiness; therefore one should practise the abrasion of the essence of his mind (or personality); in order to arrive to its utter extinction.

*m.4.9 .... In this world, the existence of mind causes grief. Destruction of mind yields happiness. So one has to destroy the existence of mind and achieve the vanishing of mind. Know that mind is spread with a net of vasanas. This is the cause of recurnence of births and consequently grief 'this load of qualities is mine_a . so think many people. This kind of ignorant mind is called 'jiva', the being. As long as mind is existing, there is no question of decline of sorrow. When mind in people vanishes, then this mutable world also vanishes. Know that mind is at the root of all sorrow in the world.

*vlm.7. He is reckoned as a miserable being, who thinks much of his person, and esteems his body, as the product of the good deserts of his past lives; and who accounts his foolish and blinded mind as a great gift to him. (Human life is usually esteemed as the best of all living beings; and the Sástra says "the human body is the best gain after millions of transmigrations in other forms)".

*m.4.9 .... In this world, the existence of mind causes grief. Destruction of mind yields happiness. So one has to destroy the existence of mind and achieve the vanishing of mind.

*vlm.9. Know the mind to be the root of all the miseries of life, and its desires as the sprouts of the forest of our calamities.

*m.4.9 .... In this world, the existence of mind causes grief. Destruction of mind yields happiness. So one has to destroy the existence of mind and achieve the vanishing of mind. Know that mind is spread with a net of vasanas. This is the cause of recurnence of births and consequently grief 'this load of qualities is mine_a . so think many people. This kind of ignorant mind is called 'jiva', the being. As long as mind is existing, there is no question of decline of sorrow. When mind in people vanishes, then this mutable world also vanishes. Know that mind is at the root of all sorrow in the world.

*vlm.31. The intelligent souls that are numb and sleepy, and are set in perfect bliss beyond the trouble of rajas and tamas; and which have assumed the forms of vacuous bodies, find their rest in the supreme felicity, in which they are dissolved in the unity of the Deity.

*m.30.31. For great souls 'videhamukti' is the foundation and support like sky for air. These souls abide in that state of consciousness, delivered of all sorrows, with all qualities subsided, expansive and vast like sky, devoid of even a little of mind.
