LAGHU <strong>YOGA</strong> VASISTHA<br />

replied thus „Those only can cognize<br />

experimentally the higher states who have<br />

developed in themselves the processes of Sravana<br />

(hearing and study of spiritual books), Manana<br />

(contemplation) and Nididhyasana (reflection from<br />

all standpoints), uninterrupted bliss arising<br />

through concentration upon that ancient (one)<br />

Principle, renunciation of all, non- desires, and the<br />

intense reasoning practice followed through the<br />

path of Vedas that this great world is not everexistent.<br />

Those only are in that path of Brahman,<br />

who are ever engaged in the intense practice of<br />

deriving bliss through the certain knowledge that<br />

the universes, which are no other than „I‟ or „It‟, do<br />

not really exist, as they did not exist from the very<br />

beginning and who are engaged in liberation,<br />

through such knowledge, free from the seer and<br />

the visual and from the enemies of love and hatred.<br />

After one is convinced that that knowledge which<br />

renders itself oblivious of all the visibles is the true<br />

one and the obtainer of Atman, ceaseless<br />

endeavours in the certainty of Brahman is alone<br />

Salvation. With such a practice, the pure Jnana will<br />

dawn.‟<br />
