9. THE CONCLUSION OF UTPATHTHI-
PRAKARANA
Summary: This chapter summarises all that was
said in the previous stories as to the origin of the
mind and the universe. It is the actions of the mind
that are truly termed karmas. True liberation
results from the disenthralment of the mind. Those
who have freed themselves from the fluctuation of
their mind come into possession of the supreme
Nishta (meditation). Should the mind be purged of
all its impurities, then it will become as still as the
milky ocean undisturbed by the churning of
Mandara hills; and all our Samsaric delusion
attendant with its birth and deaths will be
destroyed.
Muni Vasistha continued: The poisonous tree of
the great Maya s illusion flourishes more and
more, out of the seed of the mind s modifications
full of Sankalpa, in the soil of the variegated
enjoyments of the world. The panacea prescribed
by the wise for the removal of the diseases of the
mind can be got at very easily through the mind
