LAGHU YOGA VASISTHA
If all doubts vanish through the discus of spiritual
know ledge arising through the meditation of
Jnana in the heart, then it is the mind will be
destroyed. All the excessive afflictions will cease
with its destruction. The (ideas of) differentiations
of that or this person, or „I‟ or „You‟ or that or this
object are (or do pertain to) mind only. May you
put an end to that mind with the sword of
Abhavana (non-thought). Like thick clouds that are
dispersed through stormy gales, the mind will get
absorbed into Chit (absolute consciousness)
through the extinction of Kalpanas (thoughts). If
one s mind is destroyed, then will one not suffer
from pains even though, as at the end of a Kalpa,
the fierce winds, the Pralaya ocean with its furious
bubbling waves and the twelve Adityas (suns)
smelting even the earth with their heat should all
combine together to simultaneously play their
havoc on the surface of the earth? If the (lower)
mind is done away with through the (higher) mind
alone, then will one become his own Self and
perennial happiness will flow therefrom as in the
case of the Universe. Then will you be in the full
acquisition of Moksha and reach the Brahmic state
