VICHAR MALA.
113 + The Gita has texts like these :-"Never is the mind fixed," Poubts make the mind wavering." These and others like then, Jave been purposely introduced in the Gita to explain and stablish what Self is, and his one-ress with Brahma. Bhartri compares desire to the strong current of a river that knows no rest, but is ever running, litemally to signify gratification of onc set of desires does not remove them, but is replaced by others : just as wave after wave keeps up the continuity of a river current. In the "eleven" the method used is :-"He is very kind, and there should be no tumultuous thought in regard to intelligence which is Self.” Ashtabakra compares sensuous object with poison. The quotation from Bashishta refers to the seven grouuds of knowledge, and the unreality of this vast material expanse by withdrawal or rescission (apavada). All of them find adequate place in the present treatise,
In the month of Choitra, Sumbut 1726, Have I published it, For benefiting men like me.
FINIS.
