VICHAR MALA.
no more need of any works or of reading the Shastras: “ forkers knower of Brahma is Brahma.",
The subject is concluded with these remarks of the author.
That good professor for trying The pupil, told him of worldly practices. To that, he says; on the influence Of fructescent, they depend.
The professor wanted to test the knowledge of his pupil in regard to Self, and therefore interdicted other works being had recourse to by a theosophist, save that of begging for his daily meal, and a strip of cloth round the loins. To that, the pupil declares in an humble tone with satisfaction sitting in his countenance, "a theosophist from the influence of fructescent works, continues to vivify the body (lives] and enjoy or suffer according to a preponderance of good or bad in his previous births which have brought out his present life, and therefore bearing fruit. The Vedas have no command for him which he may be constrained to follow and obey; but all his practices are entirely dependent on his fructescent works ; which are of several kinds":
(1) Some show a larger amount of inclination as king Janaka.
(2) Same have only disinclination as Bamdeva. Thus then, we find there is no rule which a the sophist has to follow [but he is free to act as best he likes. Though he avoids bad and demerit, yet they cannot injure im or bis Self-knowledge.]
When actions are guided by an ttachment or earnest desire of being benefited thereby, the produce transmigration, but a theosophist has no such desire in him, bence he is never reborn.
