________________
sions, contemplating only of the state of ultimate bliss; does not employ his mind anywhere. Thus when the soul neglects mind, it withdraws itself from the senses; which means it stops steering senses toward indulgence. When soul stops inspiring mind and stops guiding sense; the mind, thus devoid of inspiration as well as activity, parishes of its own.
नष्टं मनसि समन्तात् सकलं विलयं च सर्वतो याते ।
निष्कलमुदेति तत्त्वं निर्वातस्थायिदीप इव ॥३६॥ Meaning : Thus with the extinction of the cause and effect attitude or subjective and objective approach, and the activities of desire, memory, etc., the pure ultimate reality dawns on the soul; like the unflickering flame of a lamp in windless place.
अङ्गमदुत्वनिदानं स्वेदनमर्दनविवर्जनेनापि ।
स्निग्धीकरणमतैलं प्रकाशमानं हि तत्त्वमिदम् ॥३७॥ Meaning : When such realization takes place, the skin of a yogi becomes soft and delicate without rubbing or sweeting. It becomes glossy without an oil-massage.
प्रामनस्कतया सजायमानया नाशिते मनःशल्ये।
शिथिलीभवति शरीरं छत्र मिव स्तब्धतां त्यक्त्वा ॥३८॥ Meaning : When the mind is sublime and devoid of vices, it becomes relaxed as an un-taut umbrella.
शल्यीभूतस्यान्तःकरणस्य क्लेशदायिनः सततम् ।
अमनस्कतां विनान्यत् विशल्यकरणौषधं नास्ति ॥३६॥ Meaning : There is no remedy other than the attitude of indifference or sublimation for a mind
