VICHAR MALA.
whose son was dead, was elated with joy; but no such happiness or sorrow can be felt by a person for the success or death of another person's son in whom he has no interest] who is Iswara's creature, and may be resident abroad on service and as from the relation created by the mind of the individual, such happiness or misery proceeds, it is therefore called Jiva's creation. But it may be alleged, if the creations of Jiva and Iswara were distinct they would necessarily be objectively present, but no Jiva's creation is seen in that way, hence it is untenable. Therefore, it is said, as the same woman, a crcature of Iswara is related to his husband as wife, to her father as daughter, sister to her brother and mother to her children, 80 that she has ten or more different relations with her husband, father and the rest, and they know her accordingly, and as it affects her, so are they pleased or pained, hence it is necessary to regard this relation as a creation of the individual and as such, a source of happiness or misery. This is called 'good discrimination. To restrain the body and desire and mind, and to remember Brahma is the third ground.
To restrain all thoughts concerning external and internal objects, and constantly to dwell on Brahma is called the third ground (Tanumanasa) 'emaciated mind.'

But disappears like a wave in the bosom of the sea. After clearing all doubts, misapprehensions and inconsistent ideas concerning Ib, when the mind concentratiug its thoughts indellibly rests on Brahma, tangible perception of Self follows, and name and form attributed to bim through illusion disappear; his reality is ascertaioed, as well as the upreality of this vast material expanse, just as waves disappear in the bosom of the sea, when a tempest ceases and they are ascertained to be unreal.
