Like a person who journeys on to a great city in complete reverie within himself unconscious of the pains which his feet underwent in the exertion of walking, so an Atma-Jn£ni performs all Karma, without his being conscious of the performance of them. There is no use gained in dilating farther on the subjects. Now hear from me in brief, the substance of what I said before. Sankalpa only is Samsara ; its destruction is Moksha. Majest thou be in a state of Elysian bliss, perceiving all worlds to be of the nature of Jnana which is the one quiescence without parts or end or destruction or fluctuation or Sam sara. That which is described as the imperishable state of quiescent Jn&na is Asamvedana. Perform all thy allotted works, being at the same time in the Jnana state and without the attracting desires. That Jnana which tends to the des- 340 YOGA-VA'SISHTA. truction of the mind — a great up-hill work truly — is Asamve- dana. Mayest thou be, through this path, in that state of beatitude, which is the quiescent Jnana. All ideas of identi fication of all things with one's Self, will not free him from pains. Asamvedana will confer upon one Moksha as its re sult. Whatever is dear to thee (or proper in thy eyes), that thou shalt enact. The non-dawning self-light of Siva (the auspicious) is the all-pervading Sat. It alone is the quies cent, auspicious and surpriseless bliss, shorn of all objects. It alone is Jn£na of ever-dawning Sat. It is this firm direct cognisance of non-duality that constitutes, Oh Rama, Karma Tyaga or the renunciation of all actions. Thus did Vasishta initiate Sree-Rama into ; which was again reiterated by Muni Valmiki for the benefit of Barad- waja. OM TAT SAT.
