________________ VIVEKACHUDAMANI 9. Having attained the Yogârudha state,' one should recover oneself, immersed in the sea of birth and death, by means of devotion to right discrimination. [1Yogárudha state-Described in Gita VI. 4.-"When one is attached neither to sense-objects nor to actions, and has given up all desires, then he is said to be Yogârudha or to have ascended the Yoga-path."] संन्यस्य सर्वकर्माणि भवबन्धविमुक्तये । acuat qûsâ'vfè'azanata safeað: 11| 20 || 5 10. Let the wise and erudite man, having commenced the practice of the realisation of the Atman, give up all works' and try to cut loose the bonds of birth and death. ['All works-only Sakama-karma or works performed with a view to gaining more sense-enjoyment are meant, not selfless work.] चित्तस्य शुद्धये कर्म न तु वस्तूपलब्धये । argfefeftanto a fifercentenfèfer: || 33 || II. Work is for the purification of the mind, not for the perception of the Reality. The realisation of Truth is brought about by discrimination and not in the least by ten millions of acts. [The idea is, that works properly done cleanse the mind of its impurities, when the Truth flashes of itself.] http://www.Apni Hindi.com
