________________ VICIIAR MALA. is a means for begetting a desire of release, and one batting that indifference is called cmancipated, as its reverse, an attachment for worldly comforts and material enjoyments, makes a man subject to re-births. To this efiect, the teachings of the sucred scriptures go, as mentioned elsewhere :-"An iğñorant person shows regard for worldly goods and aversion for release." Aud "desire of enjoyment is an indication of ignorance.” Hence "a theosophist is certainly devoid of desire.” All works have this purport, so do what you think best for you, and as you like. Now though that purport to establish indifference as the principal means for procuring release from subsequent re-births, and as the present pupil has already acquired knowledge of Self as one with Brahma, so that what has been mentioned in connection with disregard of material enjoyments does not apply to him ; "yet an oppositionist does not see what is blissful or beneficial to him" as mentioned by a professor of Nyaya to his pupil, and to remove it, the Sidhanti says, the quotation in inapt. Kindness of the Guru is thus declared by the author : He shows kindness to the pupil, Who takes protection of the Guru. And by illustratiou, repeatedly Fixes in his mind, the indifference of the wise. A pupil taking protection of his rofessor is always treated with kindness, and by illustrations repeatedly has his mind fixed on the indifference of the wise. Moeover, beyond that substrate Brabma, everything else superimposed on It, is unreal : this a theosophist knows to a certai ity, and for the matter of that unreality, he has no desire of enjoyment. As in parched grains there is no productive power So hag a theosophist destroyed all materia desires.
