nature of mind. It desires always to have 'more'. Therefore, he continues to remain a Vaishya who lives in the nature of the mind, whatever the family he is born in. In reality he is but a Vaishya. The demand of the mind is more than that of the body. Mind has no stomach, that is why it is never filled up. There is a limit even to the desire for bread and clothes, but the mentality of a person never gets filled-up. Mind is limitless; limit of mind is beyond every sea.

Likewise, after the time is finished, you would feel that at the termination of time-limit, you have entered into the field of an indescribable peace, entered the supreme space. There thoughts end, only peace remains. There occurs the advent of the Supreme Space. In this state there remains nothing, and then something begins to be acquired.
