423. If the heart's knot of ignorance is totally destroyed, what natural cause can there be for inducing such a man to selfish action, for he is averse to sense-pleasures ?
वासनानुदयो भोग्ये वैराग्यस्य तदावधिः। अहंभावोदयाभावो बोधस्य परमावधिः। लीनवृत्तेरनुत्पत्तिमर्यादोपरतेस्तु सा ॥ ४२४ ॥ 424. When sense-objects excite no more desire, then is the culmination of dispassion.
The extreme perfection of knowledge is the · absence of any impulsion of the egoistic idea. And the limit of self-withdrawal is reached when the mind-functions that have been merged, no more appear.
[ Compare Panchadasi, 'Chitradipa' Chapter, 285-6— “The acme of dispassion is setting at naught even the joys of the Brahmaloka, the highest heaven; realisation is at its highest when one identifies oneself with the Supreme Atman as firmly as the ordinary man identifies himself with his body; and the perfection of self-withdrawal is reached when one forgets the dualistic universe as completely as in dreamless sleep."] ब्रह्माकारतया सदा स्थिततया निर्मुक्तबाह्यार्थधीरन्यावेदितभोग्यभोगकलनो निद्रालुषद्वालवत् । स्वमालोकितलोकवजगदिदं पश्यन्कचिल्लग्धधीरास्ते कश्चिदनन्तपुण्यफलभुग्धन्यः स मान्यो भुवि ॥ ४२५ ॥
