VICHAR MATA.
• 24 Pupil. A sage pou is of vast experience, has two sorts of indications "iz., subjective and objective. What is known by a per- nimself is called 'subjective' what is known by another is called 'objective. In other words, though situated Dear death, yet he is never affected with any fear about it. The other indications (subjective] as for instance, destruction of ignorance, and its envelopment which conceals the real blissfulness of Self ure not possible for one to describe; the objective indications have only been briefly alluded to by me. Now listen to the greatness (superior result] which companionship of the wise produces.
That companionship is like the fabled tree Yielding whatever is asked of it. It Gratifies all de res ;
His words are like nectar, destroying all pain. For producing the desirable result, companionship of the wise bas been compared to the fabled tree of which the story gnes, a person receives all that he asks of it. Here even the resemblance is complete; as a theosophist gratifics all the desires of a person, no matter whe her his prayer be regarding the ccumula of wealth, possession of wife and children, or of a blessed abode hereafter. To one who has abandoned all desires, his instructions conveyed in sweet harmonious words, flowing like nectar, kindles knowledge and through that, removes spiritual, elementary and accidental miseries.
Spiritual misery' is that which a person feels on account of hunger and thirst.
* In the domain of disease the subjective symptoms are those which a patient experiences as intonse headache, pain in the body, etc. Objective symptoms are those recognized by the doctor and friend, as swelling, heat, redness etc. Similarly, here the subjective indications are a matter of personal experience, for which it is said they are difficult of being fully described, while the objective aro easily recognized by another.
